Is it ok to have your 1 and 3 yr olds sleep upstairs while parents are down?

Question

Im just nervous about my kids sharing a room now. I just think they are too young yet. We only have 3 bedroom with 2 up and 1 down. Our 1 yr old is still in our room in his crib. 3 yr old has his own room now.

Answer 1

If it's child safe, then yes.  A baby monitor may be helpful.

Answer 2

as long as u hav a baby monitor u should be ok  

Answer 3

hiya i have 2 boys 16 months and 3 1/2. they have been in the same room since the youngest was about 10 months. i think as long as they have a safe environment and you are able to hear them then it is no problem. since moving them into the same room i have found their relationship has changed as well. they are a lot closer and love playing games together. if you are unsure of what to do, why not have a trial period for a few days and see how it goes. you wont be losing anything by trying to see if it works.

one thing i will say......never underestimate them!! lol

Answer 4

I personally would not feel comfortable having children that young upstairs by themselves, but if you must.... a VIDEO monitor, not just a regular baby monitor is an absolute necessity.

Answer 5

It's fine. Our house is set up that way...with the kids' bedrooms upstairs and the master downstairs. We have a 1yr daughter and a baby on the way and both are/will be put upstairs. We have a baby monitor and keep some bottles in her room so we don't have to go up the stairs and then back down inthe middle of the night.
