Whatever happens we'll be downsizing to a 5 bed (6 bed is out of our price range) and I'm expecting #7.
DH and I are here unable to sleep so thinking of room arrangements so we can tick it off our list.
What are your room arrangements and can you help us agree?
Ds1: 5.10yo, deep sleeper, sleeps through the night. Roughly 8pm-6am.
Dd1: 3.3yo, strict night routine due to years of night terrors. Sleeps through but has to be woken around 10pm to prevent a NT happening. Roughly 7.30pm-6am.
Ds2&3: 22mo. Twins, deep sleepers but unable to sleep seperately except when napping. Share a cot and have seperation anxiety when apart. In sync sleep patterns. Roughly 7pm-12am (dreamfeed) 12.30am-5.30am
Dd2&ds4: 9mo adj. Twins. Ds4: Horrible sleeper with sensory issues, wakes 1-2 hours, on home 02, sleeps in hammock. Dd2: sound sleeper but unsettled by ds4 constant crying, wakes 1-2 times a night, cosleeper. Both fed bf on demand - Both will remain in our room until #7 arrives.
DH thinks we should keep both sets of twins sharing but I think dd2 & ds4 should be split and maybe have ds4 in his own room that we could double up as a sensory room. And put dd1 & dd2 together but DH doesn't want to disrupt dd1's strict routine with a crying baby.
All ideas, suggestions and experiences welcome!
