Before combining siblings in one room, make sure each sleeps well alone first. Space beds far apart, use a sound machine between them, and try staggered bedtimes so one child's routine doesn't disrupt the other.

Before you put them together, I would make sure they're both sleeping well separately. So once they're both sleeping well, then you can put them in the same room. Consider things like how you set up the room. As much space between them as possible is going to be really helpful. I also would put a sound machine between their two sleeping spaces. Consider staggering bedtime. So, for example, maybe you put the baby down and then you and the toddler read bedtime books together. And then we're gonna sneak in like a quiet little mouse and go to bed. After stag green bedtime. Then it's about consistency. If one wakes the other up, just be like, we're gonna go right back to sleep. It takes time, takes a little effort, but it can be done.
