Anyone have an older baby/toddler in their room still

[xxxJess123xxx]

Evening all. I have a 14 month old little boy and a 4 year old girl. He is still in my room in a cot atm but will share with sister eventually. Plenty of room in there.
I'm putting it off putting him in there though. He sleeps well mostly, sometimes he wakes to give him his muslin or turn his ewan back on sensor if he stirs but he self settles back to sleep
If he is teething he can be up crying but it's not often.
I'm just in the mindset if it works atm dont change it but his sister wants him in her room (shes going through a scared of the dark phase and being on her own). I'm just worried as they both sleep well atm and if I change it I could have both up in the night or silly oclock in the morning.
Does anyone else still have toddlers/9older babies in their room? Hes probably my last too and a NICU baby so maybe it's me not wanting to let go too??
What would you do?
Thanks!! X

My son was in a cot in my room until he was 2 as it was easier if he woke up in the night.

He wakes up probably a couple of times a week (woke just now, moaned then put his ewan sheep on and he went straight back off) but I could end up having both of them up if he goes in there! Or he might not go straight off again?!
But on the other hand, she really wants him in their as she is in a frightened stage at the min being on her own xx

My 12 month old is still in with me.

He starts out in the cot before waking at about 1am looking to migrate in beside me in bed.

DH is still in the spare room as a result. It’s the opposite to what we did with dd- she was booted into her own room the second she turned six months!

Lol I'm already trying to look at putting my 7week old next door with a breathing sensor on 🙈🙈🙈🙈

That's sweet that she wants him in there. You could give it a weeks trial I guess and see how it goes. I only had one child so it was a bit different.

It's so sweet isnt it I just dont know what to do for the best x

That is really sweet. Maybe look upon it as one of the joys of being able to have a second child and let them start to 'depend' on each other a little.

If it's an absolute shitshow you can always move him back in with you. Agree make it clear to DD that it is a one week trial.

We kept our son in with us until he was 16 months. We only moved him then as we were putting him in a bed at 17 months and wanted him to be used to his own room first.
It was the hardest thing to do for me I hated it

She really does love him to bits and I know she will think having him in there is great bless her. Maybe a weeks trial for both of them is the way to go x

I have a 20 month old in a cot on one side of my bed and an 8 month old on the other.

I'm lucky tho my 8 month old sleeps through anything, my older DD is a much lighter sleeper so any noise during the night wakes her up.

I also agree with pp about letting your DC share on a trial basis. It could work out brilliantly for everyone.

4 year old is now coughing her guts up so the trial session is cancelled for now! X

@cherry85 please don't put a 7 week old in their own room. Staying close to you keeps them breathing and reminds them to regulate their breathing. If they are next door and a sensor tells you they're not breathing it's often too late. Don't do it it's a huge sids risk

My twins are 18 months and still co sleeping with no plans to change our set up anytime soon.

@Cherry85 Please don’t put your baby in their own room. The guidelines are six months and a breathing sensor makes no difference!

I love him in with me
