I don't see any harm in it myself, They will both have to get used to it if they are to share a room and like you said the sooner the better. My son and daughter share a room. I think Joey was about 3 months old when I put her in with Jay. My concern at the time was he would wake her up as he doesn't sleep well yet she did. I suppose in the long run thats why I did it so early so she got used to him waking in the night and learnt to sleep through it.
In so saying that though I also took both mine out of their cots and into a bed between 9 mths and a year which I am often slatted for. I was surprised when I found out how many 3 year olds are still in cots.
The way I see it is so long as you are not indangering them you do what you feel is best.

What's the harm in trying? If it doesn't work out then you can just go back to the way things are now and try again when you feel the time is right
Good luck!

Hi Hunnybeanz and RM24UK,
We put our little one in her cot in her own room when she was 4 months. At the time we did it because she is a long baby and she outgrew her moses basket, but it was the best thing we ever did! She loved it from day 1, we had better sleep at night as she wasn't snoring in our ears and she has slep through for 10 hours every night since! We put her in her cot straight after her last bottle and she just knows its bed time and gets herself to sleep. She is nearly 1 now and has always loved being in her cot (apart from when she has been poorly etc..).
I know it's different for everyone but it worked for us!

I think you've made the right decision, after all she's not a baby anymore. Just be sure to be extra strict on Charlies bedtime routine to keep it as normal for him as possible and try your best not to jump at Jamies every wimper in the fear that she might wake him. Its easier said than done but will save you so much time and energy in the long run. My kids got into bad sleeping habits through circumstances beyond my control, same with a friend of mine and we are now struggling to put it right.
I also understand what Rob is saying about leaning on the side of caution, its difficult when they are young and fragile especially when they have been ill, but unfortunatly you have to let them grow.
