Can kids sleep in the same room ??

[Hyppogriff]

We’re having to move back into a smaller flat with two kids (a boy and girl who will be 3 and 1 at the time). Will it be feasible to have the kids in the same room at this age? I think not but am trying to make it work! Has anyone managed this? Any tips?

Yes.
Or 1 year old in with you.

What are you concerns for thinking they can’t op?

Are they good sleepers?

If one is and one isn’t that’s the only reason I’d try to keep them separate

Yes of course it'll work. Whilst they were little my girl and boy preferred to bunk in together. Once my DD, the eldest, got to 10 she wanted her own space.

Yes! Mine still refuse to sleep apart even now they are older. They would share with us if they could!

Honestly, I think the push for large houses with young families is overrated. So long as you have storage for toys and clothes, go for it.

Worked for mine, but my second was a really good sleeper. Had he been as bad a sleeper as my first, I’m not sure that it would have worked! But nearly 10 years later, they still like sharing so it must’ve been ok. Things that helped - facing the beds away from each other so they couldn’t see each other when they were lying down. Or putting a chest or drawers between the beds - anything that meant they couldn’t see each other. Good luck!

Millions of families for thousands of generations have done this. You will be fine

Mine (3years apart, b/g) have been sharing since the youngest was 9mo.
Will only be putting them in separate rooms when we move next year and my oldest turns 10.
They have loved sharing.

My 3 year old and 1 year old (g&b) share a room. Never been an issue so far

My two share, they're 4 and almost 8 ..they love it at the moment, I'm sure that will change over the next couple of years as the eldest will probably want their own space x

If the 1 year old tends to sleep through, it will be fine. If you have a bad sleeper (I do) then I'd keep her in with you so you don't have to resettle them both in the night. You could still keep all her stuff in the kids room and even a bed for when she's older so it's already her room and not a big change to the other child when she starts sleeping there.

My 4 year old, 3 year old and 2 year old share a room. Not a problem.

Oh thanks so much everyone it seems I shouldn’t be worrying so much! They are both pretty good - they both have the occasional wake up but are pretty good - so we’ll give it a go!!
