We have three kids. Our youngest, who is now 16 months, stayed in our bedroom
for her first 6 months (approximately). We didn't want to rearrange our two
year old's room right away and we were worried that the baby would wake her
up. We didn't want to have to handle two bawling children at night!

Any way, I think it worked out fairly well. It was easy to get to her when
she had a problem at night. Privacy isn't a problem for this young a child.
After all, they can't sit up and stare at you at this age. Besides, the
real loss of privacy brought on by a baby will happen no matter where they
sleep.
