I'm planning to move my 9 month old son into my daughter's room and I'd be very grateful for any advice on this matter.

My son's been sleeping in our guest bedroom since he was 5mo, he really likes it there but as summer is coming so are the guests. So I'm being forced to move him. It was always the plan that he will be sharing room with his sister and I'm quite keen to do that just I'm not sure how to make it work. I'm worried that my 2yo daughter will disturb him as she never falls asleep straight away.


Any tips???


Thanks

I've just moved our 7.5 month daughter E in with our nearly 3 year old eldest daughter P. We took the view we would trial it and it has gone better than expected. We started last week.

I held off as E has never slept through, relies on her dummy to soothe her and I was also worried that she would wake P and then we'd have to deal with 2 crying little ones.

In fact, E seems to be sleeping better, or maybe she's sleeping the same and I'm sleeping better; I don't wake up every time she grizzles, turns over etc as she is in the other room. And I'm surprised how P sleeps through E waking up - I had not expected that.

E still does wake early-ish and gets in with me and her dad, but I don't mind so much as I've had a decent sleep.

And tonight I've put them to bed together and it has worked - again!

Oh - and it's lovely to have my room back, read with the light on (I could go on with more reasons...!)

Good luck.

oldnewromantic you are responsible for baby no2. It was meant to be a girl. Must keep trying... ** kidding!


I have a 6 month old boy and nearly 5 year old girl. I think we may have missed the boat on them sharing... By the time boy is old enough my daughter will probably not want to share her very girly toys and space. But lets wait and see.


In terms of noise etc as long as baby goes down first it should be ok but you could do some trial runs before moving the them in same room.

    • Farage has done nothing but divide and diminish this country, all in the name of his ego and his bank balance. Brexit has made us poorer and has damaged our influence in the world. He supported Trump who is directly threatening our interests and he supported Liz Truss' disastrous budget. He has done his best to ensure our country's decline and now people too proud to admit their mistakes and the deleterious impact of UKIP / The Brexit party / Reform Ltd are again voting for him to finish the job / nail down the coffin lid. Yes, he is a plastic patriot.
    • You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again. 
    • I'm not going to claim 2 old men arguing on line ISN't boring - but it's on a thread about the viability of(or otherwise) of Reform winning power in this country. If they do take power, it will because people like jazzer get away with making claims like they do without challenge I'm challenging him, and like most reform voters, he starts crying I'm twisting his words? do YOU think I'm twisting his words? if so, how? Because it's important if Reform do win power it won't be boring, it will be very bad for the country and I will know who to blame
    • I think it's a false dichotomy. Lift maintenance is a priority and I doubt the delays in fixing them is to do with lack of funding. Whether they go ahead with this scheme of not, will make zero difference to how lift maintenance is being managed. There seems to be general opposition to any form of change across this forum.
