Co sleep to own room

10 replies

Mum2two2022 · 01/10/2022 21:03

My daughter is 2 years old and we have co slept since 4 months. I have recently had my son (2weeks ago) who sleeps in the next to me crib and in the bed is me , daughter and husband.
I am struggling massively with her in my bed at the moment, will not go to sleep, and when she does the baby wakes her which causes her to have a melt down.

Me and my husband regret so bad not putting her in her own room sooner, we never have the evening together as she goes to bed when we go to bed around 8:30/9.

We have tried her in her own room so many times and it results to her screaming for hours on end.

Any tips on what we can do it's super hard

I have no advice as I can’t get my 15 month DS out of my bed. Sending solidarity and following for tips.

Get her a 3/4 double bed and Daddy sleeps with her in her bed. Buy her some lovely bedding and cushions.

Does she nap?

@Flopisfatteningbingforchristmas she has a lovely single bed we brought for her back in January I wish we waited to get the bed as felt like she was a bit young at the time and it wasn't exciting for her where as now I think she would of Ben excited

Yeah she naps in the afternoon unfortunately in my bed...

Sorry OP no advice but my 17 month old still co sleeps and getting her to sleep in just a side cot is impossible so my solidarity to you! I'd love a second child but worried about DD still being in my bed!

I’ve got a co sleeping two year or at least she thinks she is. I put her to sleep in my bed then go and sleep in her bed. Usually she sleeps through.
your room is her room as that’s where she has always slept so the quickest way to sort the problem is for you to sleep in a different bed. Leave your husband and toddler in the double and you and baby (in next to me) head for the single.

I would get her a single or 3/4 bed for her room and at with her into she falls asleep then get out and go into your bed. It won't be long before she learns.
Good luck x

Get into her bed with her and start reading books until she’s asleep. I’ve got a cheap fold out bed beside my bed which my dd can sleep in if she’s wanting company. So if she wakes she can come through. Fairy lights and nice little accessories. Otherwise bribe her with a new toy if she starts the night in her own bed.

If it was me I would just get a bigger bed. Cuddle her to sleep, if she wakes then Daddy hops into bed to resettle her.
You won’t get your evening back until she no longer naps I’m afraid.

Defo might have to invest in a put me up bed and try that!
