Bubs and sharing rooms
Hi Guys!
My littlies are now an almost 2 yrs old and a 4.5 month old. My eldest Aaliyah is used to having her own room and is a light-ish sleeper. She has a sleeping routine waking up around 8am in the morning, having one nap of 1.5-2 hrs long during the day over lunchtime and then going to bed around 7pm at night. Noise and the other baby crying can wake her up though and it is quite difficult to get her back to sleep (especially if she's been woken early out of her nap).
Now, Krystana (the 4.5 month old) is teething and quite grizzly at the moment. I am thinking of puting her in the room with Aaliyah (instead of keeping her in with us) so that my husband can get a decent night's sleep as he works all day, but I am also relunctant to do that as if she wakes Aaliyah then I'm really going to have it tough lol. We do have another room, but at the moment it's acting more like a store room for things we don't know what we're going to with yet (and have no where else to put). I would like to move Krystana to there but it will require a lot of "stuff" juggling.
I am wondering, what did you guys do in such situations? What age were your kids when they started to share rooms and how did you cope if one woke the other up (you can imagine how hard it is to get a 2yr old to go back to sleep lol)?
Any other tips/advice very welcome!
