I'm losing the plot with this a little. DS2 has double bed in his bedroom and, since sleep regression and for one reason or another, we have ended up lying down with him to get him to sleep. This can take over an hour, leaves little time to spend with other older DS, and because he obviously expects one of us to be there, when he wakes in the night alone, one of us has to get into bed with him.
Also, DH won't work with me on any sleep training so it seems we are stuck with this approach. So, my question is, how long will it take for a 2yo to teach himself to self soothe? If at all? Will we be doing this for years?

If you routinely lie down with toddler to get them to sleep, do they ever learn to self settle?
