[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2 year old is in our room because we live in a 3 bedroom and she still wakes up. We don't want her to wake up her sisters that both have school. She is in a pack n play because it's smaller then a full size crib but if we had more room would have gone that route. Eventually, she will transition to elder siblings room. I feel like this setup has maximized rest for our dual working parent family. [/quote]

Everyone has different sleep needs and preferences and tolerances. I loved having my baby in our room with us. It was more convenient for nighttime feeds in the early months, and later I just found it cozy to have us all in the same room together. But I could never sleep with our toddler in the same room -- she is a noisy sleeper who moves around a ton and when we do it occasionally on vacation, I get awful sleep. But that doesn't mean NO ONE should sleep with their toddler, nor does it mean everyone should keep their baby in their room. It means that people should make choices based on what makes sense for them, taking into account everyone's sleep needs, sleep safety, etc. It's a very individual choice.[/quote]
