toddler sleep!

my baby girl who is 2 next month is currently still in my bed at night time. Any ideas on how to settle her into her own bed? i’m due baby number 2 in june and i can’t see this working out with a newborn baby in the bedroom. i’m also feel super touched out at the end of the night and the constant having to be on me isn’t helping and im getting no sleep from it 😩 i feel horrible for wanting to put her in her own room but id rather her get use to it now rather than her feeling pushed out when the baby comes! does anyone successfully have both babies in the room with you? I feel like that would definitely wake her during the night.

I've just had a second baby and YES transition your first into their own room if you can. I didn't do this and am now paying the price. It might feel cruel but do it in plenty of time before you give birth and little one won't connect that you're doing it before the arrival of their sibling

@Noshin thank you! ☺️

Ahh bless you! Sorry no advice apart from my nearly 2 year old still co sleeps in with me which I love however I don’t have another baby on the way like you.. it will be fine I’m sure, you have got this xxx

@Lucy i usually love it! but i think the pregnancy hormones mixed with her being very clingy during the day isn’t helping 🙈 i feel bad but it’s definitely for the best i think xx

We used to cosleep a lot and he got so kicky we had to call it quits. We started letting him pick a teddy to go to bed with him and read a book in his bed and then we used the back to bed technique (put them back in their bed every time they get out). Not gonna lie first few nights it took hours but when he realised we weren't giving in it got way easier and now we have to lie him down once or twice and he puts himself to sleep.
