infant and toddler sharing room?

semdkm

Anyone do this?  We have two bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs, and while we'll keep the infant (due July) with us in a co-sleeper for a little while, I'm wondering how well it will work when we have to move the infant in with a two year old.  The only other option is to give them each their own room upstairs, but then my husband and I would have to sleep on a separate floor from our two young ones, and I'm not comfortable with that.

Any feedback will be appreciated

We will be having our two share once #2 is sleeping through the night.  We're in a 1-br in NYC, but have the apartment set up as basically a studio with a huge nursery.  At first #2 will be in the living room with us in a basinette, but once he/she sleeps through they'll share a room.  We likely won't be in a multi-bedroom home where the kids will have their own rooms for a long time yet since DH is in school!

Mine do. ?The baby sleeps with us because it has not worked out AT ALL.

we do it.. we have a 3 bedroom and the girls still share..  we havent had any problems... bentlie use to be a super super light sleeper, the only thing I was afraid of was waking her up when I put peyton in bed for the night.. so far we havent had any problems..

We also have the same bedroom arrrangements, 2 up and one down.  We've tried off and on for the past 6 months to get our girls to share a room but it's not working.  Now we have DD#2's crib in our room and it sucks but neither my DH or I are ready to be on a separate floor from the girls.  Wishing you better luck than we've had!!

It was an adjustment, but it is working out fine now.  They don't wake each other up very often.  We moved the girls together a few months ago and it was harder in the beginning. They seem to have become heavier sleepers so that's a help.
