children sharing a bedroom - suitable for a baby?

[sotough]

We are tight on space and at some point would like to move our baby daughter in to share a bedroom with her big brother.
we were thinking of doing it later this summer, when she will be seven/eight months, but i am wondering if it would be safe. Their room is right next to ours and of course we'd have a baby monitor on all the time.
DS sleeps very soundly - always has done and never gets up in the night. She is a lighter sleeper but in a good routine (at least for now, touch wood)
Are there any issues I should consider, apart from them waking each other up at ungodly hours? is it madness?

What do you mean by 'safe'?
Is your ds in a cot or a bed?
All sounds ok to me, why don't you try it and see what happens.

Lots of kids share a bedroom,of course its safe

Hiya, we did the same thing - dd1 was 3 and dd1 was about 7 months - worked fine and they love sharing a room. Hope it all goes well

My two DSs are 15 months apart and have shared since DS2 was about 8 months. They are now both in beds and have never really woken each other up, not even in the mornings! I am hoping they get the hang of waking up and playing and not bothering me too early on weekends

My 7 month old is in with my 2 year old and 4 year old. It works fine. How old is DS?

ok, perhaps daft to be worried about safety i suppose i had ridiculous paranoid visions of DS shoving a pillow on her head or something. (in fact he is brilliant with her and has never shown any sign of any such behaviour) . Obviously millions of babies all over the world share tiny spaces with their siblings, never mind a nice double bedroom...

Our two have shared for the last two months, since DS turned 6 months. DD is 2.4. He has never woken her up, although she has recently sometimes woken him when she's had a nightmare. It can then be tricky to get them both back to sleep - we generally settle DD first and then once she is properly asleep take DS back into their room.

They love sharing in every other way. Whereas DS used to wake up crying he now wakes up and chatters at DD, who will be telling him something long and involved about her cuddly animals. She also puts his cuddly animals back in his cot if they've fallen out in the night... DS also goes to sleep much quicker and more happily now; I think it reassures him that she is in the room.

Can I hijack this and ask whether anyone has done this when older sibling has still been having lunchtime naps? Ds is 2..8 but still has 2hours sleep at lunchtime, while Dd (8m) sleeps doesn't sleep this long - am worried that if I u them together it will mean the end of his lunch sleeps...anyone experienced this?
Thanks!

dd2 (4)shares with her big brother(7) have done since she was a baby, they love it, they now share bunk beds, and occassionly ds will be down in her bed reading to her, they have a very close relationship and I think this is why.

Mine shared when ds was 6/7mo and dd was just turned two (he was in a cot and she was unrestrained in a toddler bed) no problems. They still share and dont like to sleep without the other one there (and sometimes end up snuggled up together).

It does depend a bit on personality too. Ds is a bit boistorous and inclined to climbing, so I am not sure if I would trust him with a baby (he is 3 now) but I suppose I would have 'trained' him better with babies if he had a younger sibling.
