S2E24 Siblings & Sleep: Room Sharing, Bed Sharing, and Making It Work
Description
Thinking about having your kids share a room—or even a bed? While sibling room sharing can be a beautiful bonding experience, it also comes with its own set of challenges. In this episode, we’re diving into everything you need to know about making the transition as smooth as possible. We’ll discuss when and how to introduce room sharing based on age, development, and family space, as well as key safety considerations, including AAP recommendations and the Safe Sleep 7.
We’ll also cover practical tips for setting up a safe and functional sleep space for multiple kids, managing bedtime routines, handling night waking, and preventing disruptions. Plus, I’ll be sharing my personal experience with my daughters sharing a bed—what worked for us, what we had to adjust, and how we made it a positive experience for everyone.
Whether your little ones are just starting to share a room or you're wondering if bed sharing is an option, this episode will give you the tools and confidence to create a setup that works for your family. Because at the end of the day, sleep solutions should feel good for everyone—not just fit into a one-size-fits-all mold
