Co-sleeping 2 year old with newborn?

[bethandfreyaruby]

Hi all.
Title kinda summaries. I've got a (nearly) 2 year old DD who we have been co-sleeping with for around a year. I have just had a newborn DS 3 days ago via an emergency C-section so co-sleeping has gone out the window as I can not bare the thought of sharing and her catching my stomach.
We did discuss putting her in her own room before I gave birth, and my DP staying in with her the first couple of nights (spare bed) and then gradually reducing the time we spent in the spare bed until she was fully happy with the cot but due to all of the chaos of the last few days, our plan has gone out the window.

I don't know whether putting her in her own room will help her, or make her feel even more left out! (she is very independent and is an amazing little girl, but since DS was born, she has found it difficult- I don't want to make the sleeping situation even worse for her.)

Has anyone had a similar experience that they can share what they did? Or anyone know anywhere I can look for any kind of help?
Please be kind! Thank you!

Anyone have any thoughts?

I don't think putting her in her own room right now with a new sibling is the best idea like you said, is your room big enough to accommodate her mattress on the floor next to your bed or a blow up bed? So she's still in the room with you but not in your bed?

Then when she's more settled with her sibling etc you can do the transition to her room

Congratulations on the baby

Wakeup-
Thank you for your response. We did actually end up bringing mattress into our room and my partner slept with her in that. It didn't go too well. She didn't tell until gone 10pm and then woke some point between 2-3am and then did not give in to go to sleep until she came and joined me in our bed at around 6.20. Meant we all got around 2 hours and she's still snoring her head off now! Don't know whether I can go through another night like that! But we will see!
Thank you
