Advice on getting 2.8 sleeping in own bed!

Tinks15 · 04/03/2018 08:07

So expecting dc2 in July DD 2.8 sleeps in our bed from first wake up (always has done), she doesn't simply sleep all night once she gets in with us she still wakes - really not sure why sometimes bad dreams etc.
Last night was the first night in her 'big girls bed' made it all cosy for her & explained everything etc. After the first wake up she woke up for 2 hours she would just chat & sing she would NOT settle unless we got in her bed with her which then ended up me sleeping in their all night (we couldn't just leave her & tuck her in as she would just scream & cry).
As you can imagine we really need to crack this before dc2 arrives as we can't have DD not sleeping in her bed. Today I am tired as I didn't sleep until 1am then I was getting up for a pee every 2 hours Sad.

So can anyone help or give any advice as we really need to sort this? I am aware this was the first night but I just can't see any light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks

Well done for keeping her in her bed last night. It’s a big change for her! Hope you get a nap today.

I'm in the exact same Boat

Tbh I've given up and I'm just going to keep my son in the bed with me and have baby In a co sleeper crib with my partner in the spare room
Not ideal but I have such severe spd that I can't physically get in and out of bed without awful pain so doing that every few hours all night is not an option
He's finally started sleeping for more than an hour at a time so I don't want to rock the boat if you know what I mean!
No advice as I've failed but you're not alone 😭😭

Thanks 'user' makes me feel a bit better knowing someone else is in a similar boat to me.
Sorry to hear your suffering with spd. Must be awful!
So will your husband do all the night feeds with baby?

Nooo I will be breastfeeding hopefully so will do night feeds! Hoping spd completely goes after birth so I can get toddler into his own room once I'm recovered from the birth! Or he could potentially sleep in the bed with my partner! Will probably end up doing that TBH!
As the midwife keeps telling me I just need to take each day as it comes and cross each bridge when I get to it!
Will see how I cope with the two kids in with me, if it's too much then partner will step in! Hoping my toddler is sleeping through by that point tho (wishful thinking)
