Behaviour/development

I know it's been done before, I know I'm probably not posting in the right topic, I know I could just search the archives, but I can't be bothered so humour me, OK? Please?

We have two bedrooms.

We have two boys.

We have one who sleeps through (usually, except for dreams about buying fireworks and brief scares with "monsters in the bed") and one who doesn't.

However, I wonder whether one of the reasons DS2 doesn't sleep well is that we disturb him. For "we" read "DH snoring"

So I'm wondering about putting him in with DS1. DS1 was able to fall asleep by himself by this age, and slept a bit better...so...just hoping there's something magical about the back bedroom? [wishful]

What do you think? The boys are 2.6 and 9mo.

Give it a go - what have you got to lose? My 9mo ds is going in with my 9 year old dsd at the weekends. In fact, we had all three of them in one room for the last 5 months - poor them. They usually sleep through any crying even though it wakes me up at the other end of the house - two rooms in between!!

my dd3 didn't sleep through until she was about 21months - this was 1 day after she moved into a room on her own. my others were all in rooms of their own earlier (and dd1 and dd2 went into shared rooms) and slept through the night earlier. I definitely think dd3 was disturbed by us, and we sleep better since she is out of the room too.

I think its got to be worth a try.

I had this doubt - we were lucky enough to expand to a further bedroom upstairs. However, when on holiday this year my two had to share a room and actually, neither disturbed the other. In fact DD scraping DS's cot across the marble floor at one point to find her "pooh bear" didnt wake him up and he is SUCH a light sleeper.

His crying late evenign didnt wake her either.

Try it - can't get any worse, can it
