I'm the same. I have a 15 month old boy who still wakes up twice a night so he's in his own cot in our room. We just moved to a new house and I need him to be in his own room before the next baby! I wish you the best of luck! I'm sure it's possible. I'm hoping that by the time the baby comes my son will be able to understand a bit more

Like any problems, reguardless how you handle them, you need to remain consist. You need to talk to him about being a big boy and sleeping in his own bed. Don't let them in anymore period, maybe go and cuddle in his bed for a while. Or maybe sit in their room until they fall asleep. Pick a method and stick with it, you'll start to see results when they learn reguardless of how hard they try it's not going to happen:P.

Hi there.  This is a hard one. Many parents opt to cosleep.  I didn't because I'm a light sleeper and found I just laid there awake being even more behind in my sleep---  so my kiddos were always in their own room right from the beginning.  I have friends who coslept with their kiddos.  Now, it worked for them early on but will tell you they had a horrible time as the child got older.  Once it becomes the pattern, normal comfort, routine of the child---  ripping that away becomes really hard.  Kids didn't take well to it at all for my friends and it was a long drawn out process.  I fear this is what you are in for.  I'd really begin working on it especially with your 15 month old straight away to break the habit with less stress.  For your 30 month old, you'll need a great night light and maybe a toddler bed that you can build a 'nest'.  This is when you put blankets, pills and stuffed lovies around their upper body which makes them feel safe and warm.  Sounds a little crazy but this was recommended by a child psychologist who was helping with some sleep issues of a child staying in their bed.  so, try that.  

so, it is hard to remove kids from your bed once they are used to it and you'll feel mean and terrible when you do (even though it is what you realy want---  or I should say my friends did).  But it can be done!!  I'd do it before your next baby gets here hon.  

good luck and if you need any more tips, I'll try to help.
