That's going to be hard. Your 2 year old will probably be jealous of the baby. Maybe you should get a bassinett that the side folds down and you attach it to the side of your bed. Your 2 year old will eventually grow out of it.
You could try the 'big kid bed' he may get excited and want to sleep in it.
Or lay with him in his bed until he falls asleep.
I know it's torcher, but one day you'll look back on all of this and laugh.
But whatever you decide to do, don't let anyone make you feel like you made the wrong decision. Different tecniques work for different families. That's what makes us all unique.

My daughter is also 18 months old. The only was i can get her to go to bed at night is to put her in her crib turn the lights out and put on a kids movie for her. She likes the disney sing alongs. If she is very tired she will go to sleep before the movie ends. If she is still awake i will play with her for a little bit and give her a snack and drink. Then try it again. After she goes to sleep i go into her room cover her up and turn her tv off.

Why do you want him to sleep in his own room? It might be easier to just keep him with you at night. If you do, though, be sure that he isn't sleeping next to the baby. A toddler doesn't have the maturity to know where the baby is and not to roll over on him.
If you want him out of your bed, try a sleeping bag or mattress on the floor next to the bed. Then he'll know that you're right there, but he'll be far enough out of your way that you're not bumping into each other in your sleep.

It was SO hard to get our son to sleep in his own room and not in our bed. First of all, I wasn't always sure that I really wanted him to move out of our room, and he screamed his head off when we tried to leave him alone. It just took time and reassurance and a good routine. It also helps if he's really good and tired. He still wakes up in the middle of the night and cries for us. If he gets out of bed and knocks on his closed door, we'll get up, change diaper and put back to bed. Many times, he just whimpers a little and puts himself back to sleep. Don't just go in there for any little thing. Good luck to you and congrats on the new baby.
