Sinblings sharing a room but one waking the other one up.

[MrsTriangle]

The DCs (18 mo and 3) have been sharing a room but the baby is waking the older one up atr about 6ish and she seems very tired.

Any tips? Should we split them up / earlier bed?

We would love to keep them together if we can.

can't you jsut take the baby out at 6 before s/he wakes the older one up?

I have three boys in a room, they get up and leave the room quietly when they wake, and the others do sleep through it.

We try to get to him but the older one is a light sleeper, so one yelp and she's awake.

You say 'you would love too keep them together if you can'
May I ask why?

They used to sleep seaparately until about a month ago and the older one has specifically asked if they can share a room and every day asks if she can sleep with him. She used to wake alot in the night and now sleeps through so I think she finds the company reassuring.

No advice, but loving your word 'sinblings', presumably meaning kids who are partners in crime. I shall adopt it ASAP.

lol - damn typos

Anyone else?
Do you just go with it and keep them in together or split them up?

Difficult, mine had to sleep in the same room as we only had 2 bedrooms!
As with yourself one used to wake the other up.

We then had an 2 storey extension built, and they had their own rooms, they thought it brillant they didnt have to share any more, they were 8 and 5 then.

Our dd's (3.10 and 2.8) share a room. Dd1 usually wakes in the evening, and dd2 early in the morning (5.30). They tend not to wake each other up, but dd1 does have a habit of coming into our bed at about 4ish, and I'm sure it is so she can not be disturbed when dd2 wakes up chatting and bouncy, and one of us staggers downstairs with her!

One thing that did help a lot, was to have a cd playing all night (on a loop), we would turn it down so quiet you could hardly hear it, but i think the white noise helps ditract their ears to other sounds.

HTH

Mine have a similar age gap but are older now.

If one woke the other I'd just take them into my bed and we'd snooze for a while, no lights/ tv/ radio.

We do have space for them to have separate rooms but they still share and love it. They are so close.
