Extended room/bed sharing with baby?

Question

Have any of you shared a room with a baby beyond 3 months. We moved June baby to his own room at 3 months when he started rolling in the bassinet. 
What was your experience sharing a room for longer or bed? Or can a 2 year old and an infant share a room with out disturbing each other?
I am trying to plan for baby #2 (due in June) Our original plan was to create a big boy room in the spare bedroom/office for June baby #1 but that is no longer an option right now.

Answer

June baby was our 3rd and she didn’t have her own room until we moved house when she was 1. So she was in our room till a year old and it was fine! I liked having her there actually. My older 2 shared a room from 1 & 4 until they were 4 & 7 then they got their own rooms. They really liked sharing a room though and sometimes sleep in each other’s now

Answer

My June babe stayed in our room until 15 months when we bought a house and she got her own room. Our transition worked awesome and she went to bed no problem in her own room on that first nignt

Answer

All three of my babies went into their own rooms around 3-4 months of age. My boys share a room (my oldest is 3.5 and my youngest is 7 months now). They’re pretty solid sleepers and rarely disturb each other. My youngest sleeps through the night, but on occasion he’ll stir around. Fortunately, my oldest sleeps right through any noises. If my daughter had to share a room with him though, she would wake up to the slightest bit of noise. Highly recommend a noise machine if you go sibling room sharing route.

Answer

My June baby is 20 months younger than her brother. The idea was for them to share a room when she was 6 months, but he wasn’t ready to give up the crib yet. She stayed in our room until a year, and then she got the crib and he got a big bed. they actually do really well sleeping in the same room. They’ve gotten to the point that they don’t wake if the other wakes up for whAtever reason. She was NOT sleeping well in our room before we moved her, and I kept pushing the move off because I didn’t want her waking brother. But I think because she could see us/ our snoring/alarms would wake her up, she slept terrible. Once she moved rooms she slept sooooooo much better.

Answer

My June babe slept in his crib in our room until 13 months before we moved him to his own room

Answer

Well she WAS sharing a room with our 3 year old up until she saw us put the crib up for baby brother due in a few weeks and has refused to sleep in her toddler bed ever since. We have a bassinet for him though so I’m not really stressing on it.

Answer

Ivy still comes to sleep in our bed from about 6am every morning. We didnt put her in her own room until almost a year old.

Answer

I really struggled with this since we are turning our guest room into a second nursery. We were going to have our June baby and our December baby share a room but decided against it. We don’t want her sleep training and wakings during the night to mess with his sleep. I know they are little and don’t spend anytime in there rooms except for sleeping, but I think that them being different genders also played a part in it, I think if they were both boys we may have kept them together. She’s going to be 3 months tomorrow and is still in our room. We bought a big boy bed for him but decided we rather give him a twin bed instead of a toddler bed since he’s on the bigger side so she will probably be with us for another month or two, maybe longer

Answer

My June babe got her room at 1 and my son will be getting his own room at 1 as well

Answer

I have no actual experience yet but I worry our June ‘21 baby will wake June ‘19 toddler so we’ve just bought a full bed for our toddler’s room for him & dad to sleep in together when June baby arrives. This is the only way June ‘19 toddler will sleep through the night. June ‘21 baby will sleep in a bassinet to the right of my queen bed in the master. We think this arrangement, however odd, will allow all 4 of us to get the most sleep.
