Our 2 ds (almost 1 & almost 3) have just started sharing a room. We wanted this to happen, as everyone we know who shared a room as a child said it was great. Neither dh or I did, so we're a bit unsure how to manage bedtimes. What do other people do? Do you put them down at the same time or stagger. We tried the latter last night but younger ds wouldn't go to sleep and kept crying and waking older ds. In the end we left both of them crying for about 6 mins and then they dropped off, exhausted.
DS2 then woke at 5.30 this am extrememly excited and I eneded up taking him into my bed so ds1 could get a bit more sleep.
DS2 has always been a good sleeper but just wouldn't settle last night.
All adive appreciated, as DH is away with work all week and I'm not sure how I'll cope on my own if tonight is like last night!!!!
