I'd put them in the same room (if they're not already). That way you are right there with them both - its what I used to do with DDs 1 and 2. I would stay in their room for however long it took - and at the beginning it was looooooooooong. Otherwise, if I had to go between one and the other there was just no chance. Now I have to get DDs 1 and 2 to bed, and then tackle DD3 - usually involving the occasional walk back into 1 and 2's bedroom to tell them to be quiet and get back into bed while #3 is feeding.
They have beds in the same room. DS starts the night in there, and we are working on him staying there, but he often comes in to our room. DD generally stays there once she is asleep, but comes in to our room some nights.
I haven't had any success in DS falling asleep in his bed. I generally feed to sleep, or if DH is home he sometimes walks the floors.
When DS was easier to get to sleep, at least initially, I would feed him, put him to bed (in our room), and then I could feed DD (loungeroom) or read books etc in her room and then for awhile, we could leave her to fall asleep.
It just seems to have all fallen apart again. If I try to work on DD, then DS runs feral. And they can both outlast me, babysitters etc don't believe it until they watch them and we get home and they are still running riot.
They are dinnered, bathed, in pjs etc usually by 7 / 7.30, its just the next bit that stretches on forever.
