DSs sharing a room- how to start?

[Tupperwife]

We're just about to move house with DS1 (33 months) and DS2 (7 weeks), and want the boys to share a room. DS2 is still breastfed, so will be in with us for another few months at least.

I'm about when, and how we start them sharing. I'm particularly nervous as DS1 didn't night wean until he was 13 months, and was generally a nightmare sleeper until 18 months. I don't want DS2 in with us that long, but also don't want him waking DS1 for weeks on end! DS1 is also feeling a bit pushed out by DS2, so how do we sell this to him as a good thing and not an annoying little brother bugging him in the night as well as during the day?

Has anyone managed this without tears all round?

No answers other than to say am in same predicament

My DSs share a room, but they didn't do so till after ds2 was night weaned at 13 months. They actually started sharing a room whilst on holiday and when we came back, we just moved ds2 in with ds1. It has been very good for both of them to share the room actually - it makes ds2 feel more secure to have ds1 close by and it makes ds1 feel he more "responsible" to be there for ds2. I'm not sure I would have wanted them both in the same room till ds2 was sleeping through the night though, that sounds like a nightmare scenario for disturbed sleep! (DS1 and DS2 are a similar age gap to yours btw, at 37 months difference).
