co-sleeping mom's/new bed?.....
I've been co-sleeping with Julia since she was 2 months old, DH and I went out and got her a "princess" toddler bed, and Julia was so excited, so I really thought I wouldn't have any problems, and her new bed is right next to our bed.
Well after my DH put it together she wanted nothing to do with it, she jumped right into our bed. I moved her into her toddler bed once she fell asleep but she woke up an hour later crying, and would not stay in her bed. Now I have a new toddler bed in my room, with no child in it--lol
Any suggestions on what to do? I need some help!!

I think you just have to keep trying and be consistent with putting her back in her bed and soothing her in there, not bringing her into your bed.
We haven't coslept in a while but we were on vacation for 2 weeks and had a real struggle getting Miranda back in her room and we just stuck with it. She would cry and we would soothe her in her room and put her back to her sleep in her crib. I think at this age they adapt less easy so it takes a lot more work and patient. Good luck!

I've been doing that when she falls asleep, and she will stay in her bed for like an hour our 2, but then she stands up on the bed likes shes going to fall, and wont let me put her down, she just starts screaming and reaching for me.... I'm so not use to having her cry at night for me.
I guess I will just have to keep putting her back into her own bed at night when she falls asleep untill she gets use to it, I guess its going to take a while....

I would move the bed to her room and just start making her sleep in there. You will have a few nights of crying, screaming and kicking, but eventually she will learn and you can have your bedroom back and she will be in her own room.

See thats the problem, she doen't really have her own room, we are moving this year and her room now is too small for her bed and crib to be in it, I dont have any room to put her crib some place else, and I really dont mind that she's in our room, I just want to get her out of our bed now--lol

Sounds like you need to resort to bribery! How about a sticker chart for every night she stays in her bed and then after 10 stickers she gets to pick a toy (I tell my kids the Dollar Store is the toy store!)

That sounds like a great idea, except I think shes to young to understand that still, she just turned 2.
