XP: Sleep training younger sibling when sharing a room ?

Gingersnap_mama

My two girls are 20 months apart, with the oldest just turning 2.  As of right now, DD2 is sleeping in our room in a bassinet.  She's outgrowing it and is getting to that point where she needs to be sleep trained.  With DD1 we Ferbered her at 5 months with no problems (and now is an awesome sleeper) and plan on doing the same with her sister, as long as we feel she is ready.  DD1 had been put in her crib and own room since day one and didn't do that with her sister because we didn't want to disrupt her sleep.  Now DH and I want our room back and I'm tired of rocking DD to sleep. 

I'm not looking for attackers of the Ferber method, rather any suggestions or help regarding the actual transition into the crib and new room.  TIA!

Do you still swaddle?

No, she never did like it.  I use a sleep sack.

Our 2 shared a room, but fortunately for us, we never had to sleep train #2 like we did #1.  Our plan had been to move DS into our room to sleep in a pnp for a few nights while she was being ferbered.  Thankfully we never had to do it, but maybe that is worth a shot?  We are probably going to be in the same boat in a few months after #3 is born - he or she will be sharing a room with either DS or DD!  Good luck!
