1 year old dd sleep problems. She's still in our bed.

I have a 1 year old and a newborn and I currently have both babies in our bedroom. Dd has her crib one side and ds has his moses my side (opposite side of the room).

I'm awaiting to put dd in her room but as this is the house my brother committed suicide in, all his possessions are here and we put them in dds room until my parents could collect it. Obviously, it's hard and they don't want to. So I'm putting it in the shed today. My dcs are disturbing each other at night.

My only other problem is dds sleeping habits. Whilst I loved cosleping when she was little, she's in our bed now still and I wanted her in her own room by 1 year. Dp is certain he still wants to cosleep. I deal with ds every night and he deals with dd as she's still having two bottles at night. She eats lots in the day, drinks enough etc. I'm desperately trying to wean her off it but she just screams for it. I'm too tired to do anything other what feed ds because I'm living on two hours with them both each night. It's becoming unbearable for me as they're both up crying at different times. I don't know what to do about the bottle situation. It's not formula, we give her oatley milk.

But she will sit up now in her crib and scream as loud as she can until she's in our bed and until dp cuddles her. Whilst this isn't a problem for me, I'm starting to feel like she needs the independence now. If she needs us because she's frightened etc, I don't mind. But I feel like she's doing now because she's used to it. She doesn't like her crib at all and she's too young for a toddler bed. Not only that, I think maybe she would sleep better in her own room with no disturbance from crying ds.

Any advice? :( I feel like I'm in a mess. I'm so tired.
