Should I let toddler sleep on floor in our room?

For the last few nights our 2 and half year old has been coming into our room and sleeping on the floor. Neither myself or my husband have even noticed him coming in.
We recently had baby no. 2 (5 weeks ago) and moved house (2 weeks ago) and I’m not sure if these changes have anything to do with this.
I feel we should be taking him back to his own bed but my husband thinks if he’s sleeping we should leave him to sleep on the floor. I woke up for the baby at 1am tonight and noticed him sound asleep with a pillow at that time so it would be a long time to have him sleeping on the floor.
AIBU to think we should be waking him and taking him back to bed every time he does this?

I hope he has a matress and blankets to sleep on.

I think it's whatever works for you and your family, there are no rules. If toddler is warm and comfortable and you think it is helping them at this time of change then that's great, if you think they should be back in their own bed and you / dad can take them back then do that.

You also have the option to give it a couple of weeks to see what happens before deciding etc

Make him a little bed in your room. He's just experienced two huge upheavals. He wants the comfort of being close to you.

I'd take him back to his own bed, every single time.
