Would you consider putting Ella's crib in your room and transitioning her into her own room once the baby is born? Emilie still shares our room and sleeps with us less and less. She still wakes up at night and most of the time she goes back to sleep on her own. All kids are different with co-sleeping, most break the habit on their own. I am not sure I would get a toddler bed until she is about 2, but that is just my opinion.

i want to try to put her in one before the new baby is in the crib, so she'll be close to two. she wil be 18 months when the baby is born and we kept ella in the bassinet until hse was 3 months old, so shell be around 20 months probably. her crib wont fit in our room with out takin git apart to fit i9t through the door way. we tried her play pen, and htat didnt work bc she knew we were right there. i cant imagine being 9 months pregnant in august without air and ella sleeping next to me and my husband. sounds miserable.

I would not want to sleep with a toddler either if I were pregnant again. I know you don't want to co-sleep, but for now if it helps all of you get some rest then let her stay with you. Can you have your man put her in the crib after she falls asleep? if Emilie wakes up and doesn't fall back to sleep on her own I still go in and hold her until she does (usually in 5 mins she goes right back out) I think sometimes she just needs to know I am there. I have a noise machine and I also keep a light on in the bedroom after Emilie goes to bed, I think both of these have helped her. Also 18 to 20 months should be just fine for a toddler bed, I thought you were going to do it sooner. (sorry)
