Would i be mad/ wrong to consider doing this? My 15 week old is the noisiest sleeper in the world, she snorts and grunts all night long and i just cant sleep. Have had a major meltdown this morning at the thought of dealing with 2 under 2's with no sleep again. We only have a 2 bedroom house so they will have to share at some point but i was initially going to wait until the youngest was 6 months. I just feel at the end of my tether at the moment. We have tried saline drops, nasal aspirator and snuffle babe but it makes no difference

I don't have anything constructive to say, sorry, just my sympathies as I know exactly what you are going through. Mine have a 2 year gap and we were in a 2 bed house until the baby was 10 weeks old, then we we were with relatives and had baby in with us til he was nearly 8 months old. We are now renting a 3 bed house so we're ok now. But my sister had 2 children, 2.5 yr gap, 2 bed house, and the tales of woe re bedtime arrangements make me really feel for her. Neither child great sleepers, they had every permutation going - her, DH & baby in her room, both children in her bed and DH in children's room, her and baby in children's room & DH and toddler in her room, nightmare - everything but her in the cot!

I honestly don't know how the family managed it but they did somehow. I hope you find a way to make it work and (all) get some sleep.
