I REALLY need tips on getting my almost 3 year old to sleep in her own bed all night. We've bedshared her whole life (please don't judge her dad messed with my mental health until I did it) but I recently got a 2 br apartment with my current partner so she has her own room now. We decorated it nice she has her own bed and she picked her bedding. But she has to suggest me to fall asleep and some nights won't go down until 10-11 pm. I've tried a routine I've tried lavender baths before bed and reading and nothing will work. I'm at my wits end and it's getting tough because I have to get up early for work.

Try sleeping in her room until she adjusts herself, thats what I am currently doing with my 7y old. I know it’s hard to give up on ur bed sometimes but we do what we have to do sometimes

Put her down in her bed with a routine let her cry 5 min of her own then go in and just pet her back put back in bed but no eye contact no talking then get out the room let cry for 10 min and then 15, 20 until goes to sleep in middle of nigh same. After few nights she should take less time.

What we do is bring his mattress in our room and put it next to our bed and when he falls asleep stick him on it. He’s starting to climb on it when it’s bed time, that’s just what we do though. ❤️

My almost 3 year old sleeps in her own room since 1 but I’ve always sat with her til she fell asleep. Now that she’s getting older I’ve been able to just tell her to go to bed and leave after a few minutes or after tucking her in. Sometimes she whines and I’ll just say go to sleep from wherever I am in the house. Sometimes it works sometimes I gotta go back n sit down til she sleeps

I put a small tv in my son's(3) room so he could fall asleep watching a show he chooses. But he is free to come to my bed if he wakes in the middle of the night. It's a big adjustment for someone so small and unable to fully understand what is wanted. Sometimes I let him go back to sleep in my bed but most the time if he comes to my bed I get up and say let's go back to your bed. It's a process for sure.

I’m no help here. I’ve been sleeping in my toddler’s room for nearly a year and I absolutely love it there! Lol
