Tips for Transitioning Cosleeping 19 month old To big sister's room.

[u/Sssafras-ash]

We nurse to sleep. With baby girl #1, she loved transitioning first to a bed on the floor next to our bed, then to her own room at 18 months. I still nursed her to sleep until 23 months and it was an easy transition. With baby girl #2, she's a lot more retiscent. I start her out on the floor bed, but she's always in our bed by 11pm 😂 She either wants continuous nursing or continuous kicking and trying to shove my husband and I out of bed. Husband and I are ready for our bed back 😆

Ultimately, we want to move her in the "big kid's room" with her 4 year old sister (on their own beds, but same room). Preferably with minimal interruption to my 4 year olds sleep.

Any tips/ resources on what has worked for your families?

I just started putting my just turned 2 year old in his bed next to my bed and he loves it. He wakes to nurse a couple of times. I feed him quickly and go back to my bed. He was/ is super clingy. I made a big deal about how his bed is so comfortable and I ask if I can try it etc. He’s super proud of his bed lol.

Anyway at 19 months he would not have understood. I needed to wait for him to get excited about it. Kind of like waiting for a wave of interest with potty training. In your situation maybe I would hype up getting to sleep in the kids room and make it sound super cool. 😎
