Need some advice from someone with 2 or more kids! I'm 31 weeks along with our first son, we have a 2 year old daughter that still sleeps in the bed with us. How do I go about making her sleep in her own bed? (which I doubt she will) or how will that go with a newborn sleeping with us? My husband is already prepared to sleep on the floor lol

It's will be easier to train your newborn then your 2 year old. It may seem like a huge deal but before you know it they will be all grown up. I would get another bed and maybe put it in her room. Have hubby get her to sleep and then come back in your room. It'll be a slow adjustment but it's possible
lol I'm pregnant with twins and son is still stuck in my bed. I keep saying your gonna have to learn to sleep in your own bed. but I do plan on having the twins sleep in a sleeper next to me. he's got his own bed. spider man. very cozy bed. but wants to sleep with me. my husband is fine sleeping where ever as long as we're under the same roof.
Buy your daughter sheets for her bed of her favorite character. Read her a book before bed make her feel like a big girl and excited that she has her own bed.
we just let our youngest fall asleep in our bed and carried her to her bed. she would wake up in her own bed she was pretty annoyed at first but eventually she got used to it
but you can do it! It's a tough battle but it's worth it
Honestly, the transition is so hard, especially when they are around that age. My ex husband and I tried to work on it throughout my pregnancy with my son Aaron. It was a NIGHTMARE and so easy to want to give up and let them continue to sleep with you. I suggest a cool night light and some sheets/blanket your kiddo picks out. Then get your kiddo on a routine. My kids go to bed between 8-9:30, depending on when they wake up. When I was working on getting Blake to sleep in his bed, I would put him down when the yawning and eye rubs started. He would fight and scream at first, but we talked it out, read stories, and even did a little singing. I still leave my phone on in my boys room with orchestrated lullabies, they love it.
Honestly, it's going to be tough and you're going to hear crying and screaming, and you're going to be BEGGING your toddler to please sleep in their bed, but you can do it. I'm teaching Aaron to sleep on his own before Harper gets here. He usually comes in my room around 5 or so and I let him cuddle, we wake up around 7 anyways. Otherwise if it's still the middle of the night, I walk him back to their room.
&& we did have to buy a king size bed 😂!
We co sleep, our daughter slept with us until she was 2. Her brother was born when she was 18 months old. They both slept in the bed with us. Currently our 2 year old and 1 year old boys co sleep with us. Don't rush it, she will do it when she is ready :)
I had my daughters bed next to mine. over time she learned to sleep there. but I'd let her fall asleep with me and moved her over. she's 18 months now. I think I transitioned around 9 months. I know it was way early. but her crib didn't fit in our apartment at the time.
Make it something fun put her little bed beside yours then put toys on it , my sister did that with my nephew she would give my nephew rewards every time he slept on his own bed and now he's so use to it .
Thanks, I will definitely try some of these suggestions!! :)
