Sleep issues b/c of our small house

[secundus]

I've recently switched my 8mo to a 2 nap schedule it's about 2.5/3/3.5. She goes down awake & independently for her 1st nap and always sleeps 1.5hrs. This nap is in her older sisters room where it's very dark & sound machine of course. There is always zero crying- she loves sleeping in there. Now the issue is for her 2nd nap I don't have anywhere else to have her nap except the living room in a packnplay. When she was on 3 naps she would sleep there, but fussed a bit and never connected sleep cycles, I always had to hold her for the 2nd half of that nap. Now that we are on 2 naps she is completely refusing to fall asleep in there and I have to hold her for the whole nap. I hold her and she falls asleep almost instantly. Does anyone have any ideas for me? I so wish I had a separate bedroom for her.

@secundus Is the issue because older sister needs the room during her 2nd nap time?

Anywhere else you can put her? Your own bedroom? A closet? A bathroom?

Get a slumberpod for the living room packnplay?

Can the older sister play or do quiet time in a different room and give the little one the room for nap?

@knowledgeisnotignorant Yes, older sis just turned 2 and ill have her napping as long as possible lol I tried putting them in there together and it didn't go well.

Other bedroom husband wfh in. I could maybe try and squeeze the packnplay in the bathroom...

Have an Amazon knockoff slumber pod but it's not very dark and she gets hot in there

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Might try the bathroom lol
