Tips on getting 2yo in own bed

Hi everyone,

So I have co slept with my DD 2yo but now it's time to get her into her own bed, she's sharing a room with older DD and we have bunk beds.
I'll go through the normal night time routine:
Bottle upstairs on Mum or Dad then she will be carried into our bed, then when I come to bed I will move her into her bed but, she will only last about couple of hours then wake not happy. So back in our bed she comes.

How can I make the transition a positive one for her and encourage sleep all night if that's ever possible.

TIA for any advice or suggestions.

I'd start off with a temporary bed in your room. So not Cosleeping, but still room sharing. And get her to go to sleep on that bed, not yours.

Once that's accepted, move temp to other room, then into bunks. But settling in there from the outset.
