Bedrooms

in Two Under 2

We're foster parents and are currently fostering 2 under 2.  We kept LO #2 in our room until she was STTN. Now she's in her own room which shares a (very thin it seems) wall with her brother's room.   She now STTN in the sense that she doesn't wake to eat, but will sometimes wake crying/fussing. 

 LO #1 sometimes wakes up fussing during the night.  We use to just let him go because in general he puts himself back to sleep.  We can't do that now though because he wakes the baby.  She's apparently a light sleeper.  However it goes both ways because we can't leave her to fuss at all or she wakes her brother.

We're under contract on a house, but won't be moving until April.

Any advice?  I would love to let them fuss (as long as they aren't screaming/crying) instead of running in there, but then we end up with two kids that are awake.

    Can you use white noise?

    Our boys' rooms share a wall (although, I don't know how thin they really are), and they rarely wake each other up.  Actually, the only times they wake up together seem to be when my neighbor takes his garbage out to the side of his house in the MOTN.  ::ugh::

    We had a white noise machine in each room, and are now down to just one in DS2's room.  It works wonders for noise!!

    Granted I don't have 2u2 yet, but I would make sure cribs are on opposite sides from the conjoining wall, and possibly put something solid along the wall in each room like a chest of drawers? Just a thought, may or may not work for you.

    I second the white noise machine. I think the one we have is Homemedics or something like that from Walmart. It helps alot in our tiny apartment.

    This. 

    And also the white noise machine (or just a fan going in the rooms) will help a lot.

    We run the fan and the humidifier.  It seems to be getting better, but I still feel like I have to run down there every time one wakes up.  I can't wait until we move!
