How to lure cosleeping child into toddler bed

[ReallySpicyCurry]

Have reached end of tether with non sleeping 26 month old. She's just gone to sleep even though she is absolutely shattered. She's still in bed with us and it's not working anymore. Have impulse bought a toddler bed and numerous board books about big girl beds.

How do I do this? Part of what has put me off for so long is that her bedroom is the floor above me (though it's an attune not a full sized stair case and I can see her door from mine) I've also bought stick on sensor light things for the stairs and Bing bedding

What about a gro clock? Any use? And night lights? I heard the plug in ones weren't thought to be safe any more

Start the books a month before you introduce the bed. Put the bed in a room where she'll explore it and get used to it (or put all her toys in the room with the bed and spend lots of time in there together).

Does she still nap? If she does maybe try that for her first sleeps in the bed.

It's not just a new bed you're introducing, it's a new room and totally different sleeping arrangement: that's 2 big changes.

If there's space you might find it easier to put her new bed in your room for her to get used to sleeping in before you move her room.

Without knowing exactly why it's not working for you anymore though it's hard to give targeted advice. Eg if it's because you need privacy for sex maybe think sofa.

She's not sleeping in our bed any more, she's pushing us away and seems to be wanting more room, to go on her tummy etc, also because she's expecting us to be in it too she's not going down easily at all until we go to bed for the night (previously was going down until 11) and in general we seem to be disrupting her when she does sleep - she's a very light sleeper and when we come in she's straight back up.

No room for the bed in our room. She is used to her own bedroom as a playroom, as that's basically what we have it as currently, and she asks to go upstairs during the day to play
