Q:
I have 2-year-old twins and am expecting another child. Because we don't have much room, is it OK to have the baby sleep in the same room as my twins? Or should I put the baby in the room with my husband and me?
A:
Start off having the baby in your room until he or she can sleep through the night. Do not bring the baby into your bed; this is dangerous because of the possibility of you or your husband rolling onto your child in the night.
Instead, bring the crib into your bedroom. Once you baby is sleeping on a regular basis you can move him or her into the room with the twins.
