We are having another baby and the rooms are set up, not really good, HELP!?
Question Details:We are expecting our second child sometime in September and the way our house is set up, its hard for us to decide whether or not to move our 2 year olds room upstairs. Please Help somebody, Our house has 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs, we can't decide whether to put his room upstairs or put the baby's room upstairs along with a playroom for the both of them. Our bedroom is downstairs, by the way. What do YOu think?

thanks you guys, um to answer a few questions I saw, We're not sure what the baby is( im only 5 weeks along) and I agree with the journey up the stairs n the middle of the night that would be hard, but i worry about my son up there at night by himself, theres a bathroom up there to and he likes to play in the toilet(for some odd reason). But im look ing in to it keep answering.

I'd move the 2 year old upstairs and make a big deal about decorating his bedroom and keep the other room upstairs as a guest room. I doubt your 2 year old will want to play that far away from you for quite some time. Keep the baby nearby so you don't have to trek upstairs to do late night feedings.

Personally, I would keep the baby on the same floor as you. I hate having to get up to feed the baby and check on him in the middle of the night, and the further I have to go, the harder that is.
As far as some of the comments about your two year old getting jealous if you move his room, I think a lot of that may be in how you approach things. We just moved our two year old's room so the new baby could be in his previous room. For a couple of nights he wanted to visit his old room but he adjusted quickly and now he is just as happy in his new room as he was before.

I would keep you son downstirs for right now and put the baby in you r room, too many changes wil stress your child out, plus what happens if you r child wakes up in the night and tries to walk down the steps by his/her self. Is the baby te same sex as you rfirst cild because I would just have them share a room until they can both move to ther eown bedroom upstirs.

I think you should either move the baby upstairs or move your room and the baby's room upstairs. The two year old might feel displaced if you move him out and give the baby his room, and it's not worth it for a lifetime of sibling rivalry.

Put them in the same room, then you can all be on the same floor together, have a playroom, and a spare bedroom for guests.

downstairs. the newborn should be close to u and not closer to ur other child bc the other child might try to help out and hurt the baby
