If you’ve got a huge bed, I guess it’s okay for all of you to stay in the same bed. Just make sure that you and your hubby act as a barrier between the two kids. If your bed is positioned against a wall, better put the baby on that side so he won’t fall. Otherwise, put a small cushion or a big pillow that could break the fall just in case.

Since I gave birth, I’ve become a light sleeper so I haven’t really experienced sleeping too deep that I accidentally squished my babies.

Another option is, consider transferring your son to his own mini-bed but in the same room. Eventually, when he’s adjusted, maybe he can get his own room. This way, you’ll have more space for the baby. I think, at this point, it’s more important for you to co-sleep with your baby than your toddler.

If your 5 year old refuses to sleep on a separate bed, last option would be to have your husband transfer to his own bed, but of course in the same room. This is our setup now. We have a separate cushion inside the bedroom for my hubby because the four of us can’t fit in the queen bed anymore. But once the girls fall asleep, I transfer to hubby’s side.

Surprisingly, my girls manage to occupy the whole queen bed. Hopefully, when they’re seven years old, they would agree to sleep in their own bedroom.

This got a bit long winded but I hope it helps.

Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving a comment. Feel free to drop by again soon.

I’m thinking though that they can each have their own rooms when they reach their teens especially if they have opposite personalities. I’m sure both of them would want the freedom to style their own bedrooms. Still that’s quite far from now so I’ll have to wait and see.

Thanks for visiting my blog and hope to see you here again soon

I agree that 7 may be a good age to start letting them sleep on their own. I’ll have to wait and see though if my girls would agree too.

And don’t worry about “squeezing” the baby when you co-sleep with your little one. Trust me, you’ll mostly be just half-asleep anyway trying to make sure the baby is okay and sleeping soundly so “squeezing” will be the least of your problems.

Try to enjoy as much sleep now as possible. Once your baby is born, even just 4 hours of straight sleep will suddenly become a luxury.

Here’s wishing for your safe and smooth delivery.

Take care!

Just a thought.

I think 7 is a reasonable age for them to get their own bed, room, if possible. It may be too “grown-up” for some, but then again, how long do you think would your child want to co-sleep with you? Once they start to get a grab of their independence, no matter how much you wanna keep them close, they just won’t relent. better let them be there long as they want to.

oh! but i don’t know! we are due soon and I still dont know how our set-up is going to be. Im afraid that if I let the lil thing in the same bed as ours, my hubby or I might end up squeezing her flat as a pancake.
