Co-sleeping with 2

[stargirl30]

Ok here's one for the AP / co-sleeping crowd.

DD is nearly 2 1/2 and sleeps in her own bed now but needs me in there to settle at bedtime and sometimes if she wakes in the night.
DC2 is due at the end of May and am just wondering what to do as she doesn't seem to be getting any better. Should I encourage her back into our bed? I'm not going to want to keep getting up to her when baby arrives.
Any tips / positive stories?

(crosses fingers for good sleeper this time.......)

Erm.... get used to sleeping on the edge of the bed??? Sorry - just that my DS (2.3 when DS2 came along) actually got worse at staying in bed for a while after he sussed his baby brother was often in with us being fed or settled or whatever. DS2 is a poor sleeper and co-sleeps more often than not. It's not unusual for toddler to creep in with us early in the morning too. Ah well, keeps us all warm
You can keep trying to encourage her into her own bed but be prepared for her to possibly regress a little with arrival of a new sibling - it's a big change in a little life!
Good luck - having two is lovely though

I would keep her in her own bed and get DH to sort her out if she woke up in the night. 4 people in one bed is horrible and you would be exhausted. Unless you have a 9ft by 9ft bed of course!

I was worried this would be a problem when DS arrived (DD was also 2 and a half) but it worked out fine and she stayed in her own bed. If possible you could make a bed for her in your room for a while so she is close to you but you still have your comfort?

she's not keen on DH sorting her out at the moment although I'm hoping that change. Am preparing myself for a bit of a regression. Perhaps me and kids can be in double bed and DH in her bed!!!
Am sort of hoping she'll get fed up of getting woken up by the baby and decide she doesn't want to be with me any more. Either that or the new one will sleep through from 6 weeks (hopes......)
