What are ways you got your child to sleep in their own bed?

Question

i have a 15 month old and a 3yr old who sleep in my bed plsu i am 4 months preggers. i am thinking of making a weekly chart for my 3 yr old (aiden) to show when he sleeps in his bed. I figured that if he sleeps in his bed 5 nights a week at the end of each we he and i can go somewheres special (mcdonalds or park) for an hour or two and he can have mommy all to himself.

what are some ways you got you child in their own bed. also he will be in the same room as us but his bed is at the foot of ours. the way our house is layed out would be very uneasy for him to have his own room not only for us but for him as well.

Answer 1

My daughter used to sleep with me and getting her to sleep in her own bed was not fun at all!! What I ended up doing is I put her toddler bed up against the side of my bed, so she was still really close and felt like she was still sleeping with me. Then once she got used to her own bed, I started slowly moving it away from my bed. Eventually her bed was where it was meant to be (the opposite side of the room) and she went to bed fine. It might take work but you will do it. I learned a huge lesson from this, I did not let my son sleep with me unless maybe he had a bad dream or wasn't feeling well. You should also start getting your 15 month old to sleep in a crib and don't let the newborn sleep with you either, it will be so much easier for you. .... If you are living in a one bedroom house and have almost 3 kids, maybe you should look into buying a new house.
