sibling bed sharing

[RichMommy]

My 2 youngest girls are 5 and 22 mo. They share a room but have seperate beds. My 5yr old has a twin and 22 mo. old has a toddler bed but sleeps with me & dh 95% of the time.
I am looking to gently transition the 22 mo old out of my bed and into her own. I am considering getting a double bed for the 2 youngest girls to share. They like to snuggle a lot and my youngest sleeps longer next to her sister (almost like she does in my bed).
How do you feel about siblings bed sharing? Does this seem like a good idea?

Awww, I loved snuggling my baby sister :-) Even when I got older and was annoyed and told her no, I'd always feel bad and tell her to come snuggle anyway!

I was raised doing so in a queen bed....if I have a girl, I expect I may put the together at some point.

my only concern is flu season and them puking on each other.

I used to share a bed with some of my siblings. There were six of us, and my little sister and I (the babies of the family), often slept in a different bed everynight. My DD who is 5 wants to eventually sleep with her baby brother, and I'll be okay with that when he's old enough. I think it's cute.

I think it's a good idea. I'm actually getting ready to get my two girls, 9 & 4, a queen sized bed to share. They are excited. More space for wild sleepers, new sheets & comforters...yeah, I'm excited too.

Ive never had to share a bed with my brother who is 16 months older than me. I dont like sharing beds now as an adult. Lol. I would never have my kids share a bed. Now if they did so on their own..eh. Lol.

Great replies! Thank you!

My kids do it.  If they aren't sleeping together, they are sneaking in and sleeping with me when dh is at work.  They are 3 and 5.

I hesitate to say no one in my house has ever had the flu! (16 years of raising kids)

 I think it's a great idea it might help them bond as they get older.  My mom always did that with my aunt so to me that seems like a normal sleeping arrangment.

i think its sweet and will definatly help if your 22mo old is down with it. :] and if she wants to stop sleeping in her sisters bed she'll just move to  her own. Lets hope she doesn't put up a fight lol
