Room sharing is intimidating so I procrastinated for a long time, but now we need to do it because our new baby would sleep better in a different room a so we were really motivated to do this. These are our tips for putting two young kids in one room, we will probably have more to share after this transition is finished. We found a sound machine to be helpful and we planned for the first few nights to be more tiring than normal.
Let us know your tips! We would love to hear what has worked for you! Do your babies share a room? Twins? Toddlers? How do you do it?

Not a mom but I love watching your videos🥰 preparing for later in life 😅
All the crying children makes me want to hug you! You're doing so great and all of you mums are💕
My sister and I shared a room from babies right up until we moved out in our early 20's. My mom made sleep seem so easy. I have a baby now. Sleeping kids (or lack there of) is enough to drive someone crazy. I hope everything worked out well! :)
Hey, not a mom but I am watching all your videos because I really like your personality and your approach to parenting. And as I am kind of early today I thought I might use this opportunity to tell you what I think about your channel! I love that even though your focus is on motherhood, you don't make your kids the protagonists in the videos! Also, can we talk about how you always look pretty and somehow like 21? (Even younger with this beanie!) Do you have a special secret haha? Thanks for making your videos real, but also encouraging and positive! As I said, I am not a mom yet, but I already feel prepared pretty well by your channel :D Keep going! Greetings from Germany!
I don't have kids but I just love your spirit, Jessica, and like to watch and "like" to support you. Thanks for sharing your light with the world!
Ha oh my gosh, calling a crib a cage 😂 I mean in a way I guess? But it’s comfy and cozy and safe lol. ❤️ Love your videos! I hope the room sharing only gets better for you ❤️
So glad we made it look how far we've come my baby Wilson..
I wish I had had one of those bed tents when I lived in the dorms, seems like a really good idea.
You are fantastic btw, thank you for the energy you put out in the world ❤️
It’s like you knew I needed this!! I’m about to transition my 19 month old into my almost 4 year old’s room and man, I am scared lol. Hoping for the best but prepared for no sleep 🙏🏼🤞🏼🤍!! Hoping and praying for sleep for all of you guys too, keep us updated!
I’m in the same situation we are getting ready to move into a new house and my 20 month old will be sharing a room with my other son who turns 4 next month
How did it go?
I’m in the same boat! I would love any tips and tricks!
Yes!! So excited to watch this! Tips I need right now with baby #3 on the way!! 😊😊
I want to see wilson talking!!! Omg so cutee
I love your videos so much- so helpful! 💕 From Melbourne, Aus
We have the same nite light situation and what we do is we turn off the light when we go to bed. It's gone well so far.
Am a mom and want to try get my 8 month old and my 8 year old room to share just haven’t done it yet thanks for the video helps a lot
If loads of people give advice on having small children share, could you collect them and make a new video with them? I’m about to have a new baby and that one and my current baby (15months older than the new one), will share room and I’m kind of afraid that the older one will hurt the little one somehow by accident 😳😳
Thanks!
First!! Love your videos
Yay!!
Hi
Can you make an update for this video and tell us how it's going? I am going to have my kids share a room and I am very nervous about it.
Of course! But it’s going GREAT. Just so you know :) they love sharing a room and they play together in the mornings after they wake up. I’ll update this video though!
@@jess_hoverso curious too!
Do people really think cribs are like cages? Really?? Lol love how you roll with ridiculous criticisms though
I will be interested to see how it goes with opposite sexes while almost 4 years apart in age with one of them school age with those stressful, exciting experiences that are worlds away from the realm of the toddler with all the attendant emotional upheavals. I cannot imagine this working well. And Eloise will need her own space separate from Wilson more often than not. Twins are an entirely different set of emotional, developmental needs. We don't do room-sharing, but keep their bedroom, study space, play area their own unless in the family room. We keep some things in the family room we can all do together. They are welcome to go to one another's rooms to play something they share an enjoyment of. This works well for us so they can do their own thing, have privacy, bring friends home. They interact in the family room, when appropriate: meal times, after school, needing help with homework, watching movies together. But they have their own place to sleep, have friends over, do homework that requires any concentration, have privacy, be sick, practice their own sleep patterns. It depends what sexes they are and how close in age they are and if they are already being heavily influenced by the outside world, like in daycare, preschool or K-12. We await some good outcomes and advice.
I shared a room with two of my sisters for almost six years. Our family did not have the luxury of allowing each child to have their own room. Children adapt. I'm not trying to bash you for valuing your children's privacy and giving them that option, but for many family shared rooms are a necessity. :)
@@annarocha3254 She did not ask what we recommend. She asked what we do. I told her what we do. We have very few children, so it is not a matter of luxury. We numbered our children partially by how many we could provide privacy for as well as support financially and have plenty of time for each. I, too, shared a room as a child, as we all did in my family and at times the age and sex pairings were not ideal, but they worked. They had to suffice, as did one bathroom and a tiny kitchen. I was not being stupid or critical. And I had a similar experience to yours in my own childhood in this regard.
@@philippapay4352 I certainly didn't think you were being stupid. I just wasn't sure if you had considered other options. But it seems that you've had your own experiences that led you to the way you do things with your children and I totally understand. Not bashing. :)
@@annarocha3254 Nor was I criticizing anyone else's rational choices, but rather just sharing what we had chosen to do for now.
