How do I get my 2 year old daughter to sleep in her room. She rather sleep in the bed with me and her father. When she falls to sleep we put her in her bed however when we get up in the morning or the middle of the night she is wedged between us. Any advise is helpful. Thanks.

What we did was start a routine at night and have her follow it every night. We do dinner, bath, lotion, pj's, teeth, books, night night. Having her go to sleep in her own bed might help. If she feels comfortable in her own room, enviroment she may stay there all night.



This did not work for us in the beginning. No matter how many nights she fell asleep in her own bed she always ended up in ours.lol So I started putting bells on our door. When the bells rang as she entered our room I would get up and take her back to her bed and put her back in, get her comfortable and hugs and kisses etc and then went back to my room. The first week or so was not easy on anyone cause it happened like a thousand times a night (maybe 3 or 4 but it felt like a thousand). Soon it did start to slow down and before we knew it she stayed in her own bed each and every night.

Hope this helps.. Good luck!

I just had to take it slow with my son. let him fall asleep in my bed then put him in his. After a while he started staying in his bed longer and then I started making him go to bed in his bed. This worked pritty good for me sometimes its a lot of work thought.
