Suggestions on Getting My 3 Yo Out of My Bed

What we did is my daughter got to pick out her own sheets. She absolutely loves elmo so we got her elmo sheets. She still comes in our room sometimes but it has worked rather well so far. :)

use babysteps first try a toodler matress on the floor in your room and then when he is doing well with that (staying there all night)you can then put the mattress in his room say for naps (if he still takes them) eventually you can put him there at night and then you can put the matress on it's frame

Please don't let anyone let you feel like you made a mistake by cosleeping and know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We co slept with our oldest becuase she woke frequently at night and there was no way we were going to let her cry it out (and I wanted sleep at some point). This is what we did with her to help her transition and she has now been sleeping in her own room (most of the time!!!99%) for almost a year now. we are now cosleeping with our 9 month old ( for the same reason but she uses the crib for naps)

I am a 26 year old sahm of 2 girls one will be 3 in April and the other 1 in April. My DH and i will have been married 4 years in June

If you think of the children a hundred years ago, they had to either sleep with siblings or with parents in some instances or they would freeze to death. Or he see's you and your husband sleeping together and he wants love too. I would think that maybe he comes in during the night, that he doesn't start there? If not maybe you could try a fun go to sleep ritual. Read a story, say a prayer, you and your husband sit in his room with the light off talking low while he falls asleep. I think we need to love them all we can.

Hi J.,

This is normal under the circumstances. Have you tried switching beds? Let your son sleep in your bed and you & your husband sleep in your son's bed :)

Good luck,
ET
