looks like we are gonna have to do the 2 in one room thing as well. not many houses left in chch for rent at the moment!

I've been a bit worried about it but our elder daughter likes the idea of having baby in her room. Our room will only fit a bassinet, not a cot, so as soon as bubs outgrows that s/he will be in with DD!

I guess if there's not choice then they'll just have to adapt And if we have any probs then bubs will sleep in the lounge or something! ]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2011 09:57:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1369859&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1369859 <![CDATA[2 bdrms - 2 children? : We have 3 in a bedroom (8yr old,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1369462&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1369462 Author: fadeless

We have 3 in a bedroom (8yr old, 5yr old and 11mth old) and 2 in a bedroom (6yr old and 3yr old). They have always shared rooms and they just adapt. ]]> Sat, 30 Jul 2011 22:36:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1369462&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1369462 <![CDATA[2 bdrms - 2 children? : I know a couple that have 3 kids...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1367453&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1367453 Author: CrazyCass

I know a couple that have 3 kids in the one room - and the oldest is a terrible sleeper! - no issues, they get used to each others noise and adapt really well ]]> Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:13:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1367453&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1367453 <![CDATA[2 bdrms - 2 children? : my girls do occasionally wake...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1365848&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1365848 Author: Raspberryjam

my girls do occasionally wake each other - but really its fine - as long as they go down at different times - its easy to sneak one inonce the other is asleep

we have 3 rooms but in winter its way to expensive to run 2 heaters! they have been rooming for about 2 months - so since the little one was about 10 months old - my big girl is three]]> Thu, 21 Jul 2011 22:55:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1365848&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1365848 <![CDATA[2 bdrms - 2 children? : We&#039;ve got a 2 bedroom place...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1365801&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1365801 Author: Mum_mum

We've got a 2 bedroom place and can't afford to move since we own the house so will just have to make do! I think it will be kind of nice for them to share a room and hoping that the next one is a bit better at sleeping than DD was! Bubs will be in with us for the first few months. My problem is more how the hell am I going to fit the bed and cot in the room and the toys, drawers etc since its so blody small ]]> Thu, 21 Jul 2011 20:58:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1365801&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1365801 <![CDATA[2 bdrms - 2 children? : I&#039;m planning on putting the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1365724&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1365724 Author: mummymonster

I'm planning on putting the boys together when DS2 is old enough to leave our room. I'm hoping DS1 just gets used to it.
I'm sure it used to be the norm for sibblings to share rooms from day dot.]]> Thu, 21 Jul 2011 19:22:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1365724&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1365724 <![CDATA[2 bdrms - 2 children? : Oh good, it sounds like they would...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1365688&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1365688 Author: DzinerGirl

Oh good, it sounds like they would just end up adapting to having another little person in the room.

Thanks ladies!

We have a 3 bedrrom house, but the third room is the computer/guest room. Mason was in with us until he was 5 months old then went in with Hannah. They sleep through eachothers noises/wake-ups so it's been fine ]]> Wed, 20 Jul 2011 09:45:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1365010&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1365010 <![CDATA[2 bdrms - 2 children? : I&#039;ve got 3 rooms, but plan...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1364919&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1364919 Author: T_Rex

I've got 3 rooms, but plan to have bub in our room until around 6-8 months at least, and then move him/her in with DD rather than into the spare room. The only thing I'd worry about is DD currently likes to tuck her dolls into the dolls cot and 9 times out of ten covers them completely, including their face. So I won't put them in together until I think she's big enough to understand that she's not to tuck baby in/add things to baby's cot. I shared a room until I started highschool. I think it was a good thing.]]> Wed, 20 Jul 2011 00:46:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1364919&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1364919 <![CDATA[2 bdrms - 2 children? : Ours was in our room with us till...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39954&PID=1364912&title=2-bdrms-2-children#1364912 Author: crakars

We had a similar situation so built a new bedroom, as you do - sorry no help for you tho.

Perhaps baby will stay in your room for longer and then transfer into the same room. I guess it might be a couple of not so good nights and then when they get into a good routine/used to each other they will settle down.

I would love to hear from anyone who's managed this?

I'm not UTD with #2 yet But would love to be at the end of the year problem is we've really only got our bedroom and Noah's bedroom as my sister is in the 3rd room.

How have you managed if you've been in a similar situation?
