children sharing rooms

Well, I have a 13 month old and a 3 month old. What we do is that we keep the bassinet in the master room and the crib in the other room. Now, we have a monitor for us to hear our toddler. Why do you want them to share a room if your 4 month old is so little?

For me, kids sharing rooms is ok. they will be more bonded and close to each other. but since the other is a light sleeper, i think you have to separate the other one, put it in another room. My 7 and 2 year old sons share a bedroom. And my 7 year old loves it. He loves to cuddle with his brother early morning before he goes to the shower.

I do think that you should try to monitor your little four month year old baby yea ... after it is better for him to sleep with you all , when he cries , you can immediately attend to it isn't it ? anyway you should let you 2 year old boy have more sleep in that case yea

SEE ONE WHO IS OF 4 MONTHS LET HIM SLEEP WITH U BECAUSE AT NIGHT IF HE WAKES UP AND CRIES WHO WILL SEE TO IT THAT HE STOPS CRYING AND SLEEPS WELL

My children share rooms now but they are older, when they were younger I didnt put them togather until about 1 year, I kept the baby in my room instead, I just felt more secure that way. If your 2 year old is a light sleeper it probally wouldnt be a good idea unless the baby is sleeping all night. I would at least wait until then, if the baby is sleeping all night then go ahead it shouldnt matter and if the baby does wake up in the middle of the night the 2 year old can always come in and let you know. Good Luck

I don't think it's a good idea to put them in the same room right now. You are going to have to wait until the baby is much older b/c he needs attention, food, etc. in the middle of the night.

The older boy may actually like it and be reassured by the company in his room. I think he will learn, just as we all do, to be selective in the sounds that are disturbing. I would probably wait until the baby is a bit older, but I do not think it is harmful. My son slept better after his sister was born. They did not actually share a room, but were in kind of adjacent alcoves. I am not kidding, Vince did not sleep through the night regularly and soundly until Sam was born.

I had five sons, three of them very close in ages. The three shared a very large bedroom for a number of years and they never had any problems. They are close-knit and all are quite fussy about keeping things in order. I think if you had one that was untidy and one tidy, things could get chaotic, but otherwise I think it is better for them to share. I realise you are not considering putting your sons together just yet. Time will tell and you will know, which way to go.

I am not sure what to say, but we were in the same type of set up while growing up and my older brothers got through it as I did and my next younger brother did when Neil, the last one, was born. 4 boys all in one big room, with the crib over in one corner with the baby. Your son will survive.

No, for me ,he is too young to let your baby sleep without you...At this age , I think it is recommended for you to be always close to your baby to avoid any harm ...It as safety precautious coz he is a little too young.... Any way , you may still let your baby sleep in separate room but it must be not far from your room & you can see & hear his voice if he starts to cry.. http://www.babycenter.com/expert/baby/babycare/newborns/9950.html

I think you should give it a try, you might find your older son will get used to it and become a heavy sleeper. When my youngest went into a room with my daughter, she woke up when he did for the first few nights. After a few days she stopped waking up when he did. I have found that they really bonded when they started sharing a room. If you try and it doesn't work, then at least you gave it a shot. Your older son would probably love to have his little brother in his room.

I'm so sorry that I have no advice to offer you. My 7 and 8 year old share a room and it is pure torture. My 7 year old would just lay his head down and go to sleep if the 8 year old would just leave him alone. I can't put my 7 year old into bed earlier than his brother because world war 3 would break out right in my home. I'm at my wits end. It was much easier when they were younger.

My kids do not share a room. I have a 5 yr old boy and a 2 yr old girl. My little girl sleeps in a crib in my room. My son has his own room. The reason they don't share a room right now is because my daugther wouldn't go to sleep if she knew someone was in the room with her. I put them to bed at the same time and she wouldn't go to sleep. I have tried to go to bed in my bed at the same time I put her in the crib and she won't go to sleep. We are going to move soon, though and HOPEFULLY they can get their own rooms so she can get out of mine. My niece is almost 5 and she has a 1 yr old brother. They have separate rooms; however, she wakes up every single time he does in the night. Is that the case with you? maybe try to put them in the same room for a night or two and see how it works...your 2 yr old may surprise you.

Luckily, we have enough bedrooms in our house to all have our rooms. My 2 boys aged 7 and 12 wanted to share a room but as they have a love/hate relationship, it never eventuated. Even if they did share a room, there wouldnt be enough room in the bedrooms because they arent very big.

I have a suggestion. you can make the children to sleep with you and neednot hinder their emotional growth in the name of independantly growing up.Whenever you feel that you two should meet for biological needs, can go to another room and can return to bed ,after that actions. Why not imlement in your life.We find it very homogeneous for family life and our children will not build up unnecessary emotional attachemnt with their friends and lead to diversions in their life.

My sister and I shared a room until I was about 10 years old. It was fine. We actually became really close!

I would not worry about it and go ahead and let them share a room. Back in the olden days, kids did it all the time. There was much lesss house space then. I think it will be ok, but you know what is best.

My nieces share a room, now. Not because my sister wanted them to, in fact she wouldn't let them at their old house. But at their new house, my 5 year old niece would get up in the middle of the night and go sleep in the floor by her sister's crib. Finally my sister gave in. And moved the little one's crib into the 5 year old's room. She didn't want them to share a room before because the 2 year old has a breathing problem and wakes up in the middle of the night a lot of times. Mackenzie, the 5 year old, was always a light sleeper too so she was also afraid that Savannah would keep her up. Now that they are sharing a room, though, Mackenzie only wakes up when Savannah cries and can't get back to sleep because of her breathing. And then Mackenzie will just go help her get out of her crib and they go together to get my sister or brother in law. They both love sharing a room. I would talk to the 2 year old about it. Ask him if it is okay if his baby brother comes in and sleeps at night. If he says no, give it a few days and ask him again. Maybe try to make it something fun. When my neighbors put their boys in the same room, they told them the first few nights that they were having a sleep over! The boys loved it. Then they wanted a sleep over every night so it worked out great. They were 17 and 28 months old at the time.

hey no problem over it i don't think there would be much problem as they are still too young to quarrel or argue so u need not worry much about children sharing rooms no need to worry.

i dont think that childrens from such a early age should be left alone in a room at night...there are so many things which always go around their growing mind , they moght me taumatized of something unusual happens ...so i would suggest not to left them alone in a room till they grow up a little and be bit mature
