To wonder how I'm going to get DD into her own room?

DD is 6 months old and I'd really like to get her into her own room soon.
However to get to her room you have to go through my DSs (age 2.5) room as it was 1 large room it's now parted by a wall but it's a thin wall.
She's also a really clingy baby, with d's I could put him down to play while I got bits done but DD will scream if I leave her and needs to be held alot. I think if she wakes in her room alone she will wake DS up. So basically I'm screwed aren't I because i can't see how were going to do it.
I supposed it's only like when 2 children share a room, how doesthat work?
DS was such a chilled baby and DD is total opposite.

I'm sure you must have a reason but why not move your son into the room that doesn't need to be walked through?

You might find she sleeps better away from you. You might also find that even if she does cry it won't wake up her brother, my 6mo hasn't once woken her 2yo sibling despite screaming her head off at times.

My DH made our sons bed and it can't be dismantled and moved to the other room it's a pain but we can't swap them.
Thank you she's not a bad sleeper but I do think we disturb her and she's getting bit snug in her next to me.

Move your son and Let her “grow into” your sons bed

Didn't you consider this when you did your DSs room? In the long run I would consider rearranging things.

Silly Question but you you give the baby your room for a bit and the two of you take her room? It's only for a bit.

Just to get her used to be alone in a room

Giving up our room may work we could squeeze in here for a while. It's not really a case of didn't we think of this it was our only real option to have things how they are also ds settled in his own room alot better than I think dd will

Put her cot in the living room while you wheen her out of your bed and then move her into her own room once she is sleeping through . Trust me much better to do it now than when she can get out of bed herself.
