How do you handle it if one wakes up early?
That's why my new baby is out in the dining room and the other 4 have been in the living room. All the established kids sleep 2-3 hours and the new baby sleeps 1 1/2-2 hours. I put a fan in the door between the two rooms for white noise so the 4 children don't hear him babbling away to himself now that he has finally stopped screaming and it's working great. The fan is pointed away from the children by the way.
