Anyone put two kids in one room? We have 2 under 2 and the 2nd one is about to turn 6 months. We had originally planned to move him into his brother’s room. Alternative is to keep in our room a little longer or move the older brother to his own room 2 floors down (not ideal at all). Any suggestions, tips?

Thanks!

I didn’t put my kids into their own room until they could walk an open the door. My 2 oldest are girls so they share a room. My two youngest are boys. same story

My wife and I are very much in the same page about it.

We had a slightly different setup age wise, but yeah we bunked our 3 year old with our 1 year old and it’s honestly the coolest seeing them talk to each other and entertain each other during nap and before they fall asleep at night.

My biggest concern before we did it was messing up their sleep schedules, but after we did it there was little to no impact on that front. Gods speed

Oh no sorry bunked up as in the same room - I agree bunk beds are dope but they’re not ready for those heights.

Separate room prior to 1 y.o. - we have a three bedroom, but the impetus was we were expecting a new born so had to fast track the two older ones in the same room to have a nursery

We did. I am a twin dad and a fellow BCG-er. Our boy/girl twins are almost 2, and sleep in their room since 2mo of age. They have a bond and it gives them each comfort knowing the other ones there. Now there are nights when one howls and howls and will make the other mad. Those nights we separate them out and one of them sleeps in the guest bedroom pack and play but never in the parents room. Do I have to walk over to their room at times in the middle of the night. Sure, but we see those as exceptions not the rule. Net net.. It's doable, and honestly one of the best decisions we ever took

We have a 6 month old and a 3 year old. Right now they both sleep in their own rooms and we have monitors. The plan is to put them in one room once the younger one turns 2 - that way my wife can reclaim one of the rooms for all her hobbies ha. I’ve mostly heard good things with kids sharing rooms.

I felt like a “baby” <2 still in a crib would have really affected the older ones sleep

Have two sets of shared rooms, 7 and 5 sharing bunk beds, and 4 and 2.5 in twin beds in another room. Had baby in separate room until she turned 2. Works great. Still have a spare guest bedroom open and we like it best this way. They adjust to bedtime routines together. The older two do keep their each other up late sometimes.

We did with ours until about ages 6&4. They loved it. When we moved to a bigger house they were seriously tempted to keep going until they couldn’t agree on the color to paint the walls (a boy and a girl). Now they still like to do sleep overs every now and then where one stays on the spare bed in the others room.
