How do you sleep with a 3 month old and a 2 years old together?!

[rufaidahtalib]

Hi guys, my name is Rufaidah...I have 2 children. My son Ubey is 2 years old and my daughter Mera is 3 months old. Before Mera was born, I co sleep with my son. Ubey is a very active kid. It seems like his mind never stops from playing. He even recite the ABC until he fell asleep. Sometimes laughing at nothing during his bedtime. I think he is imagining some cartoon he watch during the day that cause him to laugh.

Because of this he is very noisy for Mera to sleep in the same room. Can anyone share their experience in how you guys do this? I have my mother to help but I dont want to be to dependent on her since she is quite old. Any tricks to this or something?? I really hope there will be other solution than to separate room for both of them?

When my baby was that old I put her big brother to bed first and she came to bed with me at 9. Can you stagger their bedtimes?

My daughter sleeps 2 hours and then wake...so i try to get her older brother down while she sleep...but it takes longer time for my son to sleep...his sister wakes in the middle of it...at the end both of them awake.....my son wont sleep...he can sleep at 1am then wake at 6am....no sign of moody or cranky like he didnt get enough sleep...

Similar situation here. My youngest is now 6months old and oldest just turned 3 and we try to stagger the bedtimes and leave baby downstairs with husband whilst styling the oldest with bedtime stories.
If husband is at work and I'm doing the bedtimes alone, I tend to read bedtime stories with them both listening, then when it's time for sleep I feed the baby whilst stroking oldest girl's back. When she's asleep, the baby has often fallen asleep too, or I can carry her downstairs with me until I go to bed a bit later.

I know what you mean though, sometimes the rings just work out right, other nights it all goes wrong and you end up with th disturbing each other or both waking and needing you at the same time.

My eldest is now starting to understand when I explain to her that she would get a better night's sleep if when she woke in the night she stayed in her bed instead of coming to our room and everybody waking each other up.
