I was wondering if your irish twins slept in the same room yet. Our daughter, 1 is still sleeping in our room, and I'd like to move her into the room with my daughter, 2. I'm afraid that they'll wake each other up and both be up in the middle of the night. Any advice would be appreciated. THANKS!
Both my daughter 4 and my son 3 have been sleeping in the same room since my son started to sleep through the night (about 10months). Do they wake eachother up during the night? No. They woke up up and got into eachothers bed when they got older though. Now they tend to play around before they fall asleep-which means they go to bed earlier, but they also play together when they wake up and I get to sleep in! 
My boys share a room, and have since the baby slept through the night. They sometimes wake each other up, but its really easy to get my babies back to sleep - so it hasn't been a problem. I think the first week we had them sharing a room there were a few interruptions but its not really an issue at all over here.

Very good question. I am now a mommy of irish twins and my two youngest will be sharing a room. They are almost one and 2 weeks. They have taken naps in the same room, but I have not put them in the same room through the night. I am scared I will not only have one up at night, but the both. Right now that happens on occasion anyhow cause the almost one year old is getting all four first baby molars. I figure when the youngest sleeps better through the night I will put both in the room and hope for the best.
I have 2 girls 7 months and 17 months and they both sleep in the same room. They sleep through everything the other does. My oldest can throw a fit because she fits sleep so bad and my youngest sleeps right through it. They get a long great and have to play and talk before they will go to sleep at night. To be honest my oldest doesnt like to go to sleep without her little sister in the room. She will ask for her sister if shes not in her crib since she can look right into her crib from her toddler bed.
I was afraid of my two girls(now almost 4 and almost 3) waking each other up. They were 3 months and 14 months when they first starting sharing a room. They didn't wake each other up like I thought they would and if one did wake up they fell back to sleep right away. Even when we took the pacy away from the my oldest daughter(she cried on and off for 3 hours for two days straight) my younger one stayed sleeping. I have more trouble now getting them to go to sleep at night(because they play) and at nap time they almost always sleep in separate rooms, one in my room and one in theirs.
I had the same concerns. Mine (boy and girl) are now 1 and 2. I moved him into her bedroom when he was 2 months old. They adjusted quickly. By the time he was about 8 moths old I kept finding older sis in his crib. She'd climb in and cuddle with him. They would be sleeping like two peas in a pod. They are very close. I love it. Now I worry that when they get their own room they will have separation troubles. ;)
I just read Elizabeth's reply and laughed. I now have the same troubles. I find them playing in there when they are supposed to be napping.
