How do you get a two year old to sleep in their own bed?

I guess my first questoin would be did you co-sleep? but assuming you did not and she/he is just coming into your bed at night. what we did with our daughter was started to allow her in our bed I would make a little nap bed on the floor( nothing too fancy or fun just plain and simple ) with pillow and a blanket for her and told her that if she didnt want to sleep in her bed that she could not sleep in ours and had to sleep in the bed I made for her on the floor it was right next to our bed so if it was about safety she would have settled for still be able to sleep in our room... and after a couple nights she figured her bed was better than the floor.. becuase it was just kinda out of habit.. but if you co-slept.. it may take more of a transition to get her/him to sleep in his/her bed... like you could start with putting them to bed in their bed and if they wake up let them finish the night in your bed or vice versa until eventually they will get used to waking up in the middle of the night in their bed and not need to get up and come to your bed.... Also you could make a big deal about being a BIG boy/girl... and get something special for their bed like a pillow or blanket but you have to stress that it is only for big boys/girls that sleep in their own bed and if they arent doing well with it.. maybe take it away.. just to inforce it... good luck.. keep us updated on how it's going

Try sleeping in their bed at the beginning of the night. When your child falls asleep, then you can go into your own room. The transition has to be done little by little because it is not going to happen in an instant. I would not say it's the parent's fault because I know with our first child, we had him sleeping in our bed because we need to sleep. However, this is something you do to yourself without realising it will be hard to get them in their own bed. Sleep in their bed to start and go to your room when they are sleeping. They're probably going to wake up and find their way back to your room but that is understandable. They will eventually stop this at some but you have to be persistant and get them in their room as much as possible. If there was anytime you needed to be patient, now is the time. Good luck.

with my son I had to lay down in his bed with him the first few nights until he went to sleep and then I got up and he slept in his bed, the first one or two nights he woke up and realized I wasn't there so he cried until I came back in there with him, then he went back to sleep. Every now and then he still tries to slip into my bed with my husband and I and sometimes my husband will let him stay if he doesn't wake me up lol, im the mean one haha. If there is bad weather or something I make him a pallate and let him sleep in the floor in our room just for security. Good Luck
