This may not be the ideal space for these questions but being it has to do with sleep I’m going to try you ladies!
I have 5 children N(f10), G(f9), L(m6), M (m2), Q(5 months). N&G share a room. They have been sharing since N was 4 and G was 2.5. They have been on a similar schedule being so close in age. I love hearing them talk to each other at night, about their day, their friends etc. it’s very sweet. L & M have their own rooms. Q is still in our primary bedroom. We have a 5 bedroom house. 4/5 bedrooms are upstairs. All the big kids plus the primary. The room I have designated for Q is downstairs. He has yet to use it, being he is sleeping in our room still. He is starting to STTN and I can tell he is waking up being with us, plus he’s getting too big for his bassinet. It’s time to move out!
Im nervous to move him, to have him downstairs all alone all night. During the day it’s actually great, because he will be close by and he & M will be on separate floors for naps. But Im anxious about night time. Husband is suggesting moving M into L’s room and give Q M’s room so we are all upstairs. (Ultimately I’d like Q & M to share, but not until they are 4 & 2 ish like my daughters.) … it’s a good idea in theory, but I have my doubts. First of all L wakes up to use the bathroom during the night every so often, I don’t want that to wake M. Also, maybe this is me being too sensitive, but I feel sad for my 2 year old! He’s a GREAT sleeper, always has been, he asks to go to bed at night and take his naps. He’s very happy in his room and knows it’s his. Then all of a sudden screaming baby comes in, steals all his solo mom time and now his room?! He doesn’t seem resentful about the baby at all but this is just what I am imagining. He is still my baby too!!
What would you do? Help me please.
