Are they going to share a room or are the two rooms going to be close together?
It might end up waking the 2 year old if the newborn isn’t chilled down quickly.Or, your two year old could be a deep sleeper and won’t even be affected by it.
I don’t think they should share rooms. Not fair to your daughter to get awoken by a crying baby. She probably won’t even hear him/her crying. I never shared a room with my brother. I don’t think kids should share rooms, but that’s just me. As long as you respond quickly it should not bother her.
My oldest daughter slept right through it most of the time. Sometimes she would get up with the baby and stay up to rock too.
My daughter is 4 and is a very heavy sleeper. She sleeps right through my son crying.
it did not bother my daughter. she was in a separate room. i have also used since day 1 with both kids, a fan for white noise in their rooms. that helped drown out any excessive noises, plus it was a good indicator of nap/night time. they knew/know when the fans come on its night time.
your in for 2 screaming kids not just one i also have no advice, HAVE FUN!!!
P O is on nobodies side

Are they going to share rooms? If no, your 2 year old shouldn’t hear the crying. My children never did. If yes, I suggest you rethink that plan. Maybe put the baby in your room until she sleeps mostly through the night?
My little boy is 15 months and being weaned as we speak. My 3 year old surprisingly sleeps right through his middle of the night crying fits. You in for an awesome big sister. I love watching my 3 year old daughter with my son. It’s awesome that they don’t share a room because that’s what I was going to mention next. Things will be better if they have their own space. Have fun!
My kids slept through the new one’s night-time crying, even when we were walking the hall with a screaming infant right by their bedroom doors. We did mostly keep the new ones in our room during the night, and once they were a few months old each had their own room, so that helped.
It matter how far apart the rooms are.
How heavy of a sleeper she is.
If she does wake up, she will get used to it.
But really it won’t be as bad as it seems.
They won’t notice. They only cry for a short second for you to get there. Keep the two year olds door shut.
