Baby sharing a room?

Question

Hey ladies !  Im currently live in a 3 bedroom home ,   And expecting our third child. My question is , would you allow baby to share a room  with one of the siblings or just keep the crib in your bedroom? My other kids are 5(girl) will be 6 and  2(boy) will be 3 when baby arrives.  I just don't want the new baby to disturb the others while sleeping . I feel bad not being able to give our peanut its own room, but until we move into something bigger I'll have to make it work. I don't have an issue with putting the crib in my room , I like to co sleep until 6 months anyways , but just wanting your opinions .

If you are sharing room with the baby , are you buying a separate dresser for the Baby's stuff or just using the one you have ? I'm trying tofugure out how I'm gonna do this.

Answer

I'm the oldest of 3 kids. When my sister was born I was 5. My parents kept her in their bedroom until she could sleep through the night and then moved her to my room. We shared a room for 13 years, and while it was rough at times we also formed a lasting bond.

Answer

I'm in same position as you my girls will be 10 & 4 when baby is born so we're moving older girl into smaller room & 4 year old will share with baby. All babies wardrobe dresser etc will be in that room but baby will sleep in my room until about 6 months then move into his/her cot & hopefully bedroom sharing will commence 😬

Answer

I an the eldest in my family and when my mother fell pregnant with my brother she asked if he could be put in my room, i never minded and i felt like it gave us a close bond, (also a three bedroom house with two parents and 4 children, so my sisters share a room also)

Answer

My two girls have shared a room for most of the youngest ones life. When my baby was born, she was in my room for the first couple months and then we transitioned her into her crib in the kids room.

We will be doing to same with baby #3. Unfortunately we are stuck in a two bedroom for now and will have to have all three kids in the same room. I've seen some cool things on Pinterest with putting a crib under a loft bed, which I plan on doing.

Answer

We're setting the baby crib/clothes etc in a shared room with our daughter but she will be sleeping in our room initially esp while nighttime nursing. Our daugher slept in our room for 10mons then moved full time to her room.

Answer

I would put babies stuff (dresser with clothes, extra diapers, ect) in whichever sibling is the same gender. Have baby sleep with you with a basket of essentials in your room. Then when you think baby is ready to move into the shared room, make the switch. I shared a room with both my sisters growing up and it was a blessing and I wouldn't change a thing.

Answer

Baby will be sharing a room with my husband and I until we find a house. Our son (5) will continue to stay in a room by himself.

Answer

My son always slept in our room. This baby will sleep in our room till probably about 6 months or so. Then he/she will have its own room
