I am expecting my second child and I told my boyfriend that we were going to have to move. He says that we can just put the two babies in the same room, but I am worried that we are all going to get a lot less sleep. When did your kids start sleeping in the same room if at all
They would be sharing a room, not a crib

Sure I would, if the toddler is in a crib and unable to get out.
no, the baby would wake the toddler up several times in the night…maybe after the baby has established a sleep schedule where he sleeps for longer stretches at night.
newborns and toddlers should not be in the same room unattended. but if the toddler is in a crib and cant get out then i think thats fine. but in the same bed together i would be worried. the toddler could roll over on the baby or playfully hit the baby which could actually hurt the baby.
help please anybody:

Well I put both my kids in the same room since the day my 2nd child came home and he’s 1 now and everything fine both sleep fine yes the youngest cries but it doesn’t wake up the oldest and he’s 2 also there beds r side by side So u can put them together that way they get more use to eahother
yes, as long as the baby is in a cot, but why don’t you put the baby in your room for a little while so that your toddler can get use to the fact of having a new baby around..
think about all the sleep you lost with your toddler when he was a newborn, its about to start all over again and there is no advantage to having your toddler miss out sleep if you have the means to move and find a bigger place. A newborn is easy to shush back to sleep after he eats, the toddler is going to take much more work and doesnt sound like a good solution to me.
In most parts of the world, whole families share rooms, due to tradition, and other reason (poverty) Up until the 1980s, most people only had two or three bedrooms in their houses, and had families much larger than we have today. Sure its o.k. Some doctors/psychologists believe that it is beneficial for siblings to share rooms, it build close bonds, and an understanding of the need to share and co-operate. I wouldn’t go in to debt over sleeping arrangements.
My 4.5 year old and 1.5 year old share a room. Always have. DD was about a week old when she went into the room with her brother. Brother was 3 at the time, and in a toddler bed.
The bad part is this:
Now that she’s mobile, its a race to see who can trash the room the fastest.
My oldest thinks its his job to clean out the dressers on a daily basis.
My oldest has his toys everywhere. He has a “loft” bed. She climbs the slide if we dont close the door.
He takes it upon himself to get her out of bed in the middle of the night if she wakes up crying. She does come to momma and dada, but its a PITB to try to get her back to sleep.
Other than watching the toys, I see no problem with siblings sharing a room. We are hoping to move this year, but if not, my kids will share a room one more year. Just make sure its baby proof and all the non age appoperate toys are put up. We have yet to give our oldest his “big boy toys” where he can reach them anytime he wants cause of the choking risk.
I wouldnt. First of all the baby is going to be crying often which can keep the toddler awake and you will be going in and out of the room everytime baby cries. Also, if the toddler is not in a crib then I dont think I would trust leaving the baby and toddler together unsupervised. A jealous toddler can do some harm to a baby or not even meaning any harm could try to give the baby a little toy it can choke on or who knows what. I would have baby sleep in your room instead for the first while anyways.
Ideally, they should have two separate rooms. Your newborn will be waking up a lot (which I’m sure you know!), and that will wake your toddler. Depending on how old your toddler is, he may not be sleeping through the night consistently, which will then wake your newborn. Plus, unless your toddler is also in a crib, I don’t think I’d feel safe having them in the same room unsupervised. I don’t have kids, but my cousins started sharing a room when they were about 18 months and 4 years old- their parents got divorced, and their dad’s apartment only had two bedrooms.
