2 Under 2 sharing a room?


We are just about to tackle this. I had hoped that my youngest would be sleeping through by now (5 months) but no joy!
I panic that they're going to wake each other up but I've decided to just wait for a week where we don't have too much going on and we'll just have to suck it up and be tired! My eldest is dreadful at sleeping in a room with anyone else and we have to get her used to it at some point.
I think toddlers sleep through more than we think they might. Good luck to you!


When mine were still napping I would put one in my room so they wouldn't wake eachother up. now neither one will nap... (ugh!) and they share the room and a bed. I found out after I bought matching toddler beds that they wanted to share, every morning I would find them scrunched into one, so I sold the toddler beds and got them a queen sized one to share, now they never get up in the middle of the night. :)

My boys are 11 1/2 months apart. I thought that they would wake each other up, but it's never been a problem. The other will sleep right though anything, and vice versa. The biggest problem is usually getting them to fall asleep. They want to talk to each other, or play instead. I just had to take their nightlight away, so they couldn't see to stay up. They now have "Dream Lights" instead. The "Dream Lights Penguin" lights up enough so that they are comfortablele, but the lights are out so they understand that it's time for sleeping, not playing.

The nights that they both sleep in their room surprisingly they dont wake each other up. DH and i put DD1 to sleep first and then our newborn. This works well for us. When my newborn gets up for her night feeds no matter what kind of cry she does it doesnt wake DD1. They got used to each others crys etc during the first month. Congrats and i hope you guys find a solution that works for your babies.
