[quote=Anonymous]Realistically before the child "needs" their own bedroom?

We both grew up in the city so we aren't foreign to city living and small spaces but also want to be fair to our new child.

We have one bedroom and we want to room share until at least 1 year but can go until 2-3? Until they ask for their own room? I imagine not much past 4?

Our living room has space to play but we can't convert it into a second bedroom or carve out sleeping space. But will have lots of toys. We also have a play area in our building and two parks across the st and a big grassy field.

Our bedroom can comfortably fit a mini crib that converts to toddler bed and a rocker and little shelf, wall shelving and some floor space to play

We know eventually we will need to move but we would love to maximize this space for as long as possible especially as I plan to take substantial time off until she's in school full-time.

Any thoughts appreciated. Except I don't really want to hear how I should be putting my 3 month old down the hall in her own imaginary room and she needs independence or something. I don't have the luxury of anything else right now but I want to think even if we had a big house we would still room share for safety and closeness. I grew up in an Indian household and we lived in an apt and I shared with my siblings but cousins who were back home and in large houses had sleeping rooms whee everyone slept and then play rooms..[/quote]
