I would wait till you move, and then separate them – it will feel more natural to your eldest then. And we had the same problem – they will get used to the separation quite quickly and everything will be better.

I remember when I had my older two in the same room… It was a nightmare! They would laugh and take hours to get to sleep. Having their own rooms was a blessing, and as they get older they’ll want their privacy. I’d say you should separate them when it will be easiest, whether that’s before or after you move. But definitely separate them so they both can sleep the way they need to without one waking the other.

I too think that separate rooms is the best solution.

Okay not sounding too mean to your 6 month old, as trying to sound about abandonment, but if you could move a cot or bassinet into a hallway just outside the door, he could have his brothers comfort but it might suit them better?

Some great advice. We’re going to put our girls together at the end of the year but they will be 4 and almost 2.

Yes , i also think separate rooms are better

Separate rooms would be better

I suggest waiting till they are a bit older try reading maybe that might help good luck hun.

Separate them. Try reading the 3 year old a story when he goes down as a “special treat” just for him. He will get used to sleeping by himself.

My boys share they are almost 5 and 4. We had them seperate until around a year ago. There’s no way they would have slept well sleeping in the same room before that. So I’d say seperate them until bub is older. Have a night light in each of their rooms and let your 3 year old pick out a special cuddly to sleep with so he doesn’t feel so lonely.

how have the suggestions helped

I never had this problem as the age gap was so big but good luck you have some great answers that I am sure will help you with your future choice

Much much easier to have them separated. I would have the little one in your room so they aren’t waking each other up and try and get the older one into a routine first. I don’t believe in keeping them up all day to make them sleep at night.. It usually backfires as they get grumpy then don’t sleep well because they are overtired..

We have had the same problem. The little one would fall asleep on the loung and when the eldest wnt to sleep, I would put the little one in. It’s not ideal but you do what you can.

I would suggest waiting until they are a bit older to put them in together. My two are 2 and 4 and it is much easier.

I would move the baby into your own bedroom and get your toddler into a regular routine.

Separate when they move. Make your 3 year olds room really ‘cool’ so it’s somewhere he wants to be snfmd wants to have to himself. Goodluck let us know how you go

ALWAYS separate if possible! So much easier. Do it when you move.

seperate them when you move … new house and make it exciting for your older son that he has a new room. kids quickly adjust and it will be better for you

New house new rules. Make a big deal about the older one’s room. Have a routine bed-time. Dinner all done, Say 7-7:30pm bathed and ready for a story in his own room. I sent my little one to bed after a small cup of warmed milk as there is advantages. A cup of warm milk or a milk-based drink is traditionally used for sleep induction. A small night light away from the child’s reach helps with anexiety. Baby can sit up with the other parent until you settle the older one. This could be cuddle time or last bottle for the night. If baby is not sleeping through a couple of spoons full of rice cereal fill his tummy. Darken the room, lower all noises, no stimulating just quiet time OR that parent puts Bub to bed too. Good luck and enjoy your boys.
