Sleep training toddler

Can anybody help please. My son is 2.5 years old. He sleeps in his bed for about 2 hrs then wakes up, he falls asleep on me no problem but then I can’t get him back into bed. I can try this over 10 times and he just won’t go back even though he is fast asleep. My question is how do I sleep train him when my husband is in the room and needs to sleep and step daughter is in room next door and she needs to sleep as they both work full time. Any advice would be very much appreciated thank you

Watching this thread as I'm in same boat. He screams the house down during the night too if I don't bring him in with me. And I feel stuck in this pattern. He is very very strong willed. Doesn't help that he goes to his fathers for half the week and he doesn't do anything to help reiniorce a robust sleeping pattern.

Hopefully you will find some help from my post if someone comments. It’s so har isn’t it? I’m exhausted and I just want to sleep but because of other people in the hour o don’t feel I can sleep train as they work full time which will disturb their sleep but my son will be 3 in June and he sleeps on me on sofa every night x

Well I would do Super nanny back to bed routine at that age (considered very controversial with some mumsnetters who hate Jo Frost!)
Yes could be noisy - even all hell let loose! But do it at a weekend, perhaps even get any workers in the house to book a Monday off, which would give you three nights. And make your partner take his turns too! 100 % consistency and nerves of steel will be required! Just concentrate on the long term benefits for him as well as the rest of the family.
