perseverance and maybe a week of not alot of sleep for any one.
you are the parent and if this is what you want them to do then persevere. it will be hard at first as they will wake each other up I'm guessing, but within a few days they will get use to it and shouldn't wake up to one another anymore . you may have to do the whole cry control thing by putting them to bed then going in and out and putting them back into bed every tI'me one or the other gets out . yes i no this sounds like a night mare but im telling you inside of a week it will work . try a reward chart for the older one it may help him to see what big boy he is and maybe you can also tell him he is the big brother and having the baby in his room will help bubby out and mummy and daddy . i just no from experience they can cry for the first few days for ages but eventually if you stand your ground and dont give in they will learn that's how things are.
good luck

well if you can't put the 2 month old in a bassinett in your room or living room i guess you'll just have to deal with the 2 year old getting awakened by the baby. but really this is pretty unfair for your 2 year old. that child needs her sleep. a 2 month old is usually still waking for feeding a few times a night. i would wait until the baby is on a better sleep schedule and will sleep through the night. then it should be easier. if you can't do that, well not much else you can do but deal with it. it's not like the 2 month old can help that they are getting up and waking the older child.

I'm not real sure why you are wanting them to sleep in the same room but its just a fact of them both getting used to it. There is really not a whole lot for you to do.

Try putting your two yr. old to sleep first. By letting your older child go to sleep alone in the bedroom it will be more like going to sleep before the baby came along, and this will also reduce the temptation to play with the baby and stay awake.
