What are your feelings on kids (babies) sharing rooms? Can it work? Bad idea?


Hi all,I posted on here a while back, asking for advice/suggestions from parents with two under two. We have an almost-6 month old, and I'm currently pregnant with #2. The babies will be 13 months apart, which is stressful to think about, but we're dealing and preparing!Anyway, I'm posting again to try to get feedback on our plan to try to have the little ones share a room. Obviously when the baby is first born, (s)he will be in our room to sleep at night, hopefully for the first few months. But after that, we'd like to transition baby #2 out of our room and into big sister's room (who will be ~1.5 years old at that time).Are we crazy? Can this work? Has this worked for you? Why or why not? Will it be impossible to get both kids to sleep, ever?I imagine the baby will wake up to feed, probably alot in the beginning, which runs the risk of waking the older one up. Our bedroom will be only a few feet away, so we can hopefully intervene quickly and feed baby before everyone in the house is awake and crying!Alternatively, we could keep the baby's crib in a little hallway alcove in between both bedrooms (so basically, right outside our door). That way, we could hear baby wake at night, and hopefully the older baby won't be disturbed! Then maybe we can transition baby into the room with big sister once their sleeping improves (but who knows how long that'll take.. Baby #1 has been a great sleeper but I know it's unlikely we will get lucky this time around). via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2rAjZen
