Advice Needed for P_Rican_Mami04
"Ok, I have this friend of mine Piggy is what we call her. She has two kids. I have one on the way. We're gonna move together. Piggy is thinking about putting all the kids in one room. We are trying to move by June and that would mean a 17 month old, a 7 month old, and a newborn soon to be in one room. That would be 3 cribs, and I'm not sure if I should put the baby in the room because of the fact that the baby will need sleep. I don't mind, but I'm trying to do this in the best interest of my baby. Should we (as in Me and My boyfriend) just keep the baby in our room until it gets older or would it be alright to put in the room with the other babies? It's been eating at me all week and I don't know what to do!"

"Alright, so here's my advice. If you are uncomfortable with letting your baby share a room with the other two children than don't do it. But.. if you let the baby sleep with you and your boyfriend for too long it maybe hard for you to be able to break the habit. I know my younger sister slept with my step dad and mom for the longest time and it was unbelieveably hard for them to get her to sleep in her own room. Also... maybe you and your boyfriend should start trying to find a place of your own. It seems where you're living now is rather crowded, it may be in the your child's best interests as well as your own. ".
