still sleeping in the bed

My suggestion would be to take it one step at a time. First, get him out of your bed. Then, after you accomplish that, start working on getting him to sleep in his room. I bought a youth bed and put it at the foot of the bed. Eventually, I moved my daugther to her room. have his room "ready" for him. Have him sleep in his bed during the day for his naps. This will help him to get used to being in a different room. Give him something special to sleep with when he does sleep in his bed. Give him his favorite teddy or buy him something that you can give to him before he falls asleep. It will give him something to cuddle up to and he won't feel so alone.

This is a tough one. Babies are so smart and they have us trained sometimes ha ha.

I would just move him to his own room. Have a nightly routine for him example: dinner, bath, story, singing, and then sleep. Do the story and singing in his room and then kiss him on his head and leave the room. I kept a little night light on for our son. You can expect him to cry because it's different than what he is used too but after a few nights he'll be fine. I think it was harder on me than it was on my son. Every time he cried I caved and jumped up, ran to his room, and brought him back to bed with me. But I realized that if I ever wanted my bed back and if I wanted to spend quality time with my husband my son had to sleep alone. I also came to realize that although he cried (and yes you're son is going to cry) crying never killed anyone so it may take a while for him to fall asleep but he will. Just be patient, consistent, and don't cave.


Good luck and keep us updated

My daughter is over a year old and still sleeps with us in the bed. She used to sleep in a cot and somewhere along the line we lost the plot and put here in the bed where she stayed.

What I have done now is take the mattress from the cot and put it next to my bed on the floor, between the bed and the wall. I've put pillows around her so she won't hurt herself.

I make a big thing about her sleeping in "her own bed" and rant and rave to her grandparents when she does. She talks alreadya nd understands evrything we say. I put her down, lay at the edge of the bed, so she can see me. The I hold her hand and swith the light off, talking to her making sure she knows I'm there. Seems to be working. It will get worsr before it gets better.

Then the next step will be to get her into her own room!

I have my 2yo daughter & by now she sleeps in her own bed....
I started teaching her to sleep on her own bed gradually when she was 1y & 6m....
Explaining her why she should sleep on her own bed. At first it was hard because she always wanted me beside her & cries a lot but after explaining her that I should sleep on my own bed then she agrees with me so by now that she's already 2, she sleeps on her own bed already.

Someimes I was hugging her before she sleeps she told me to go to my bed because it was her bed & she wants to sleep.
