moving an infant into a toddler room?

Okay so I'm having a bit of trouble trying to figure out where to keep the kiddo's. We have 2 rooms that we can use. One of them right now is the nursery--it has the twins cribs in them and all of their clothes, it's not a room they can play in unsupervised and doesn't have any toys in it. The other room is the playroom. It has a closet full of toys and the room JUST has toys in it. Since my youngest has been born (he's almost 2 months) he's been sleeping in a pnp bassinet thingy.
What I was hoping to do was to move Ethan (my youngest) into the twins room and just squeeze in a 3rd crib. But I'm having trouble trying to figure out when to do this. Should I wait till Ethan can sttn? I really don't want to screw up the twins schedule since they are sleeping so well these days! I was hoping to do it around 4 months when we could really stick to a schedule.
My other option is putting Ethan's crib in the playroom but it's the playroom and I really don't want the crib in there.
Has anyone else had to do this? I could really use some "been-there-done-that" points of view! Or if anyone has any better ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks!


ETA -- not sure why this was moved here... it could have been moved to the first year or the triplets and large families maybe, that's why I posted it in Parents. Are there a lot of parents of 1-2 year olds that have a 2 month old baby sibling? Just wondering..

 

Brigette, I have not been in that situation, but I think I would wait until Ethan was STTN. I would hate to mess with the twins sleep! I wonder though, to get him used to sleeping in there, could you maybe put him in there for some of his naps? Maybe in a PNP?

 

I think I, too, would wait until he is sttn. I did when I added any of my babies in with another child, too. I think if you plan to move him in at 4 months or so, he should still transition pretty well. But you can do what Becky suggested, and try naps to help him adjust.

 

I have been doing naps in there... The playroom and nursery share a wall, do you think I should put Ethan's bassinet in there at night, so they can get used to each others sounds, or is this just silly?
Thanks for the advice, keep it coming

Not silly at all. I would try it.

 

I would definitely wait a few months - I would hate to disturb the twins' sleep. But best of luck when you go for it!
