Sharing a room?

My girls still do not share a room but its just no working anymore. We have 7 people in my house (DD 19, DS 17, DS 4 and the twins plu my H and I). I have Libbey in a small room on the main floor but I have to be the noise police CONSTANTLY during 3 naps a day and from 7:30 pm - 7 am. They had surgeries on the 5th and I know as soon as the bandages are 100% off I'm going to have to have to transition them but I'm scared. I just know its going to be tag team wake-ups

 

My twins share room from birth and they learned to fall asleep and stay asleep through each others crying or "talking ".
I think the sooner you put them together in the same room the better.And don't be scared, it might take awhile but they will adjust.

They'll do okay, mine share a room and pretty much sleep through each other's cries. :hug:

 

My 2 have always been together & they can sleep through the other's cries, talking, moving around, etc. It might take some time but they will probably surprise you with how quickly they will adjust! :hug:

 

Same here and totally agree :good:

 

My two have always shared as well. With that many people in the house, I bet they are more used to noise than you think! It might take a bit, but I bet they will adjust fine. GL!

PS..What was the surgery for? :hug:
ETA...I just read your post in HI. :hug:

 

Same here. I'm worried about moving them to separate rooms next year. LOL!

 

mine have never had seperate rooms. i think jazz could sleep thru an earthquake

 

Mine are the total opposite. I slept them together from the begining and at 7 months couldn't take it anymore. They pretty much STTN but my one son would wake up talk and put himself back to sleep. Then it would wake up the other one. Then the other one couldn't go back to sleep and start to get fustrated then wake the one that woke up first. I still don't know why they never go used to each other, but I think it is because my one son is an extremely light light sleeper and can't have any noise or else he wakes up and get's fustrated. I hope you have better luck and I think down the road I will try again since I would really like them to have that bond.

 

My girls have been together since day 1. They learned to ignore each other's cries and there were many times that one would wake up crying and I was sure the other would wake, but my other darling would never stir. It may take them a few days to adjust since they have never been together, but I think you may be surprise at how well they will be able to tune each other out.

 

I agree with PP that the earlier you do it the better. Give it a month or so before calling it quits. My two have shared a room since the beginning and sleep through cries too. They sleep through a ton of other noises too. I vacuum when they are sleep (b/c they are scared of it) and my house is never quiet when people are over and the boys are napping. I agree with Becky that I think you'd be surprised how much they will be already used to sleeping through.
