Moving into a New House...

First of all, nothing is your "fault." Co-sleeping with your child is a loving thing to do, not something you did wrong. Millions (if not billions) of people around the world do this, this country is one of the very few that sees something "wrong" with it. So be easy on yourself.
Moving into a new place and expecting a 19mo child to adjust to that AND a new bedroom is asking a little much from him. Take it slowly.

At this age we always would lay down with the children until they fell asleep. Since you got him a full size bed, this would work quite well, I think. But I think the first few days you should bring him in with you. Imagine how scary a strange room is at night for such a little guy! Remember that this is a *transition* for him, take your time getting him used to the new house first, and introduce the new room to him slowly: play in there a lot during the day, let him nap in his bed, make it special and "his." But give him time to adjust. I know all my little ones would follow me around all day for a week every time we moved, as if I would disappear if I left the room we were in lol! It takes kids a lot longer than adults to learn the new "lay of the land."

we just moved to our new house 4 weeks ago. my girls (two yr old twins) back in FL used to sleep in separate bedrooms. when we moved here to MD i decided to make a few changes since everything was going to be upside down for them anyhow. and guess what? it worked, they love sleeping in the same room.
ok not exactly what you're wondering about., but i wanted to share that my feelings are kids are pretty ok with changes. he's almost 2, when you move into the new house get a few plush toys, something he might like and don't show him until he gets to enter his room, then put one or two or whatever new toys (i got my girls tigger each) and i put him in the toddler bed (until then they were sleeping in cribs) and i said tigger tired tigger need go sleeping now, hug tigger, and they just loved 'taking care of tigger.' so now NO problems whatsoever.
now as for the full size bed...the cribs they have convevrt to full size beds as well, we tried it at first but we thought those beds were huge, so went to ikea and bought these cheapo toddler beds for 139. it was an ok price for something they will use for a year or two and then when they grow up a bit then they will get the real beds.
these toddler beds we got well they're cute and all but couldn't see a way to put rails on them, so i put pillows all over the beds. in the beginning they were falling on the floor on top of pillows but that wouldn't even wake them up (granted i'd go in and put them back to bed) but this happened only a few times. now they don't fall, they stay put it's just awesome.
good luck to you

I have a perfect idea. Its in the Right Start catalogs I get. Its a small cot to put right next to your bed so your son will be sleeping by himself but also have you right there if he needs you.
