When to start sharing a room

For those of you who have children sharing a room, when did you start to put them in together? Right now #2 sleeps in the bassinet in our room, which I'm totally fine with for right now, but I will probably start thinking about moving him to the crib in the near future. Just curious as to what others were doing!

    DS2 is not here yet, although our plan is to have him in our room till he can sttn, or at least close, then we will make the transition.

    We started when DD2 was about 3 months old. DD1 falls asleep around 7:00. We would wait until DD2 finished her last bottle around 9:30 or 10:00 and fell asleep. Then we would "sneak" her into her crib. I actually think it has made DD1 a more solid sleeper.

    DS is 3yr1mo and DD is 20 mos ... ODS is due to arrive in 2 days. We couldn't decide on sleeping arrangements (still haven't really) but we tried moving DD into DS's room over the weekend. We tried putting her mattress on the floor since we just moved DS to a toddler bed and figured we would transition him around the same time. It didn't work. DD is too young to not be in her crib so it took over an hour to get her to fall asleep. If that were our only issue, we would have fought through it until she got used to it but both kids are waking up once a night (but not at the same time) right now. The night waking (and super early morning waking) is recent for DS and DD usually wakes up around 6, talks for 20 minutes and falls back asleep. Needless to say, when DS woke up, DD woke up and we couldn't get them both to settle down again ... after over 1 1/2 hours, DH concluded (what I had said the night before) that DD isn't ready to not sleep in her crib and we moved her back there for the last few hours of the night.

    DH talked about moving DD's crib into DS's room last night but I can't buy into it a few days before ODS arrives with the rest of the chaos we're going through. If they were both sleeping through the night (or maybe even if one was and he/she was a solid sleeper), I would go for it. Instead, it just seems like a recipe for disaster. Right now, I'm up with one or the other a few nights a week ... it's hard but managable. The idea of being up with both of them awake for an hour or more every night on top of the newborn night needs is just too much.

    So, if you want to learn from me, do it when (ideally) they're both sleeping and a few months before you have another big change (e.g. another baby) if possible...
