There is nothing bad in your little boy sleeping With you and your husband. He will stop when the time comes. My last child is almost two now and he has been sleeping with us since he was born. Now he always cry when we are going to bed because he now wants to be with either the older brother or the two big sisters without us forcing him. so, you see, it is time just give him time especially when his sleeping pattern changes. It is just that he will be the first person you will alway see early in the morning climbing your bed to feel the warmth he missed during the night. And more so, he can't disturb your hm mm you know what I mean. So, take it easy with him.

Try putting him to bed in his own bed and you stay with him until he falls asleep. When he's asleep, you can return to your room. If he comes to your room in the middle of the night, return him to his bed and stay with him until he is asleep. After a couple of nights, instead of laying on the bed with him, move to a chair. As he gets used to this then you can move out of the room completely. But never let him sleep in your bed again and this includes when he's sick. If you need to be near him, ALWAYS go to his bed.

Try carrying him to his own bed when he is sleeping for a start.

You are probably going to have just let him cry it out...it's a hard habit to break. You can try putting him in a toddler bed in his room and laying next to him for a while...

You have to keep walking him back to his bed, the first night maybe ruff, but stick with it. Also, make a bedtime routine one that is different from what you have now so he gets into a different pattern.

you son needs to learn to self-soothe. and it won't be an easy process. you'll probably have several (2 to 3) nights of him screaming and crying, but you need to suck it up. Eventually he'll just cry himself to sleep and you'll have what you want. I'd suggest starting this on Friday night. Good luck.

all you can do is take him to his room and when he comes out walk him back. I went through the same thing with my little boy it took me till he was 3-4 to get him out of the bad habit. BEST WISHES

make bed time in his bed "story time" read one together, or make one up together. do this until he falls asleep in his own bed.
tell him repeatedly that big boys sleep in their own beds. and that he is a big boy.
put his favorite stuffed animal "to bed" with him.

Keep putting him back in his bedroom until he learns to stay put and don't give in to his crying. Or call Nanny 911.
