When can Siblings share a room?

[bagshaw]

I have 2 DS, 2years and 1 who is 6 months and I live in a 2 bedroom house. DS2 currently co-sleeps with us but I have been toying with the idea of putting his cot in DS1 bedroom so that nap times are a bit easier. DS1 naps in the morning and I try to put them both down around 11am but it is really difficult usually ending in a screaming match (not good). They both need the sleep at this time but I wondered if they were both together I wouldn't have to keep running between the two and upsetting each one in turn. I worry that DS1 will try feeding DS2 something small and nasty...?? I just don't know. Any advice?

Ours shared when ds was 2.10 and dd was 8 months. Worked really well and they love sharing now.

We have 22 month age-gap. Ds2 has been in with ds1 ever since he was 6 wks old.
He'll be 7 (yrs) in May
Works well for us!

We have a dd who shared with ds (4 then) from 6 months. We have now moved house so they can have their own room. DD really missed DS but DS did not give her a second thought when he got his own room. It is easier with two boys, no need to worry about puberty as they get older

dd is 3.6 and ds is 15 weeks and have been sharing a room for about 3 weeks and its fine.
