Is it okay for my girls to share a bed?

Question

I just want a little advice here.

We have a three bedroom house and we are expecting our third baby, first boy.

My oldest daughter is 6 years old and youngest daughter is 2 years old. We recently put a toddler bed in the 6 year old's room to transition the 2 year old into sharing a room. The problem is, our 2 year old will not sleep in her toddler bed. She keeps getting in bed with her sister.

Is it okay to let her do this? Should we keep the toddler bed in there or just get them a bigger bed to share?

Answer

I slept in the same bed as my older sister for pretty much forever when I was younger lol) I still like to cuddle with family members (like mom, sister, husband) and it's not weird at all. I think it's totally fine.

Answer

No, its fine. I spent half my childhood sleeping in a double bed with my little sister. Most of the time my big sister would get in too cause she didnt want to be left out!!

Answer

My daughters share a bed. They had bunk beds and would both end up in the same bed so we just got rid of the bunks and got a full size bed

Answer

Perfectly alright, I slept with my sisters growing up...I still do if they spend the night, and I'm 25 😆

Answer

It's fine my kids have their own room boy 6 and a girl 9. They won't sleep with out each other. So I say it's ok. But my kids are so close they are best friends, they tell very one that lol

Answer

If sister doesn't care. I slept with my sister until she moved away to college. :)

Answer

I think it will be fine until they start reaching they're teens... They're gonna want some privacy and space then.

Answer

I'm with cassandra. I will still nap in the same bed as my sisters. AND I shared a bed with a sister until I was around 13. It just made is really close. Even to this day my sisters are my best friends!

Answer

Bigger bed probably won't hurt but I think it's fine. I babysat kids (7 of them from age infant-16). Five bedroom house. All of the kids shared beds except for the oldest, since she was older by 7 years.

Answer

There is nothing wrong with them sharing a bed. My young ones do too.  I think most people have at some point. It actually use to be the normal
