When do you put baby in bedroom with sibling?

my youngest who is now 17 months and his older brother who will be 4 soon have always shared a room. It didn't seem to bother him very often that his brother was waking up. I am due in 3 months so the third child will share the same room also. I have found that using one of those "white noise" makers helps drown out whimpers and cries for the other child. We have this thing that sounds like the ocean playing all night and it keep things pretty peaceful but my 17 month old still wakes up at least twice crying for a bit.

My two daughters share a room. The oldest was 5 when the baby started sleeping in her room. She loved having someone else in there with her - up until this she would want mom or dad sleeping with her. The youngest could wake up and cry loudly without ever disturbing her sister. The oldest sometimes has accidents and we need to clean up the sheets in the middle of the night. Usually this doesn't disturb the youngest.

I'm expecting a third daughter in January. The oldest wants all three of them in her room, but I'm changing our third bedroom into a baby room. It was an office / exercise room / junk room. I still don't know which two girls should share a room. I'm thinking the two youngest, so soon I'll have the same problem as you.

Your 5 month old may not be sleeping through the night because of sleeping in your room. My youngest daughter slept in a bassinet in my room until she was about 5 months old. Then we moved her and she slept more comfortably / longer in a crib. Also, do either babies go to daycare? You'd be surprised what they can sleep through. Somehow they manage to put 4 or 5 crying babies to sleep at or around the same time. It will probably take some getting used to, but your boys should be fine in the same room. Of course there will always be nights when one will wake up the other, but it will get fewer as they get older.

We have 3 kids...2 girls and 1 boy.

It goes Girl, Boy, Girl....

We lived in a 2 bedroom apt ( rent was stupid cheap...and we didn't pay utilities...so we lived there for 18 months ) We had 1 room and the kids had the other. Then I got pregnant with our 2nd girl. When she was born, all 3 slept in the same room. The 2 older ones in a bunk bed and the baby in the crib.

Our son use to terrorize the baby. He use to shake her crib..she was super stressed because of him.

Then we moved to a much bigger house ( by over a 1000sq feet ) and the girls share and our son, gets his own room...thank goodness.

We put all 3 in one room when the baby was 1st born. It worked for the little space we had back then.

We had no room for a crib either. But the baby was sleeping through the night at 6 weeks.

Put him in the bedroom with his brother....now is good as any.

Put him in the siblings room chances are he won't even wake up when his sibling does. If it does interfere with his sleep just have the crib in the Hallway or living room a 5 month old does not need there own room or a room to sleep in a crib is good enough. Since moving the crib isn't an option Idk what you should do Buy another crib if you need to.

Doesn't sound like you have any other options than putting him with his brother. (Assuming there is no other bedroom of course.)

You'll just have to hope your 18 month old doesn't wake up when the younger one does. I don't know what else we can tell you!

Either that or get a 3 bedroom place, or put the crib in the living area. I don't know what kind of suggestions you are looking for.

My sister in law's 4 month old is in the same bedroom as her 23 month old brother. She sometimes wakes up at night but it never bothers her older brother.

It nothing wrong with putting the 2 brother together at their age. It should work out great for them.You

said that the baby is growing to big for the cradle.
