One of my goals is to get my two oldest (8 months and 17 months) napping in the same room by next May and I’d love to hear any tips you have!
For me I just had to bite the bullet and do it. When we moved houses I went from separate rooms for all to one nap room. Everyone who is on the same schedule goes in one room. For me that is everyone over 12 months and my 8 month old still has a separate room. It was easier for me to do the older kids first then add the younger ones or hard to get down. I've also found (with my current group) that they'll largely ignore the 14 month old that fusses her way to sleep.
I used to worry and over think putting everyone together, but once I did it I was pleasantly surprised.
