What is your sleep set up like postpartum with baby and toddler?

A

My husband and I have been sleeping separately with me in our bed and the new baby in the bassinet, husband downstairs, toddler in their room. My husband has been downstairs so that the baby wouldn’t wake him up in the night and he can get up early in the morning with our toddler. However it’s been a month and my husband wants to move back upstairs but I don’t want our toddlers monitor waking the baby and I up in the morning. I was going to move into the nursery with my baby so that I actually have a nursing chair and changing table to use since I hate doing those in the bed, but that would mean I have to sleep on a twin bed on the floor, also not ideal.

I’m just wondering what other people have done so I can come up with the best set up until I am ready to sleep in a different room than baby.
