Hi Moms, I’m looking for options I can come up with to help my kiddos and me actually sleep through the night. It’s become kind of crazy; it seems like once my 2 yo outgrew his crib & we donated it, things have been really tricky. He only co-sleeps with me or cries incessantly 🙄; older one wakes up too right after asking to ALSO sleep next to me stating it’s unfair. Help! Any ideas on how to disentangle this?

I don’t have a specific plan for you but the Ferber book “solve your child’s sleep problems” goes through all kinds of sleep issues and tells you how to tackle them

This is easier said than done, but I would start by getting the younger one used to sleeping in their bed alone. This will probably involve crying, but maybe you can do something special to help them enjoy being in bed. Maybe some new bedding with a favorite TV character, maybe a new lovey, maybe a cool tent over their bed? But when it gets down to it, I think you need to just keep them in their bed and not bring them into yours.

We have two as well, so no doubt you’re concerned about your older child being upset by too much crying? If so, maybe as a special treat the older one is allowed to be in bed with you for a set number of nights, 5?, while your younger child adjusts and cries a lot.
