Anyone else have their kids share a room?
We live in a 2 bedroom house and we can't upgrade to a 3 bedroom just yet so we are re-signing our lease. As soon as we decided this, my 9 month old son has taken to waking up in the middle of the night for a while, just chatting to himself and then eventually crying. We like the "cry it out" approach, but my 4 year old daughter sleeps in the room and wakes up. We have all been up since 3:30AM!
What do other people whose kids share a room do about this problem?
Thanks for helping!

My twins share a room. When I wanted to do CIO with my ds I set up a pack n play in another room. When he woke up I quickly picked him up and moved him to the pack n play and did it from there. Maybe also a sound machine for your dd. good luck

When DD2 was waking at night we just put her in a pack n play in our room until she was past it. We also have a radio on in their room so DD1 doesn't always wake

Mine share a room. They have white noise, and DD usually doesn't wake up when DS cries. However, this week we are sleep training DS so DD and DH are sleeping downstairs in case he cries for longer periods of time.
Can she sleep somewhere else in the house with your DH until your 9 month old gets his sleep back on track?

Mine do. They don't wake each other up most the time.

Thanks everyone. I do the white noise as well. I really like the idea of the pack and play in our room and I think I may try that tonight. Hopefully this is a short phase and we can all get some sleep again.
