How do I get her to get use to new house?

Question

I have a 2yr daughter and we have lived with my mother since she was a baby. She has always slept in her crib and in her own bed but we always shared the same room. Well we just moved out into our own place. She has her own room now but she wont sleep in it. Does anyone have any tips to give me to get her to sleep in her own room?

Its only been a week and a half. Ive been letting her fall asleep with me, then I put her in her own bed. But around 3am she wakes up and get cries. So I put her back in my bed. I just dont want to start a habit of her sleeping with me.

Answer 1

You won't help her to get used to her room if you're always bringing her into yours. Be tough and keep putting back into her own room. You can try the first few nights staying with her until she falls asleep, but if she wakes up and tries to crawl into bed with you, pick her up and back to her own bed. Try standing just outside her room if she's still awake and pop your head in when she starts to get upset or tries to get out of bed. It'll take a little while, but if you stick to it, she'll learn. She won't learn any independence if you continue to have her sleep with you.

Answer 2

give her time. how long has it been? maybe she needs to sleep in a bed in your room for a while like she did at your moms house. then after a short while you can try making her new room fun and exciting for big girls. she might get interested and choose to sleep there on here own. or there is always the old fashioned way. just put her there and let her cry it out. shell adjust. (i couldnt do it that way)

Answer 3

For a few nights, sit by her bed while she falls asleep. Every few days move a little further out. At 2 children tend to have some separation issues anyway, so be patient.

Answer 4

Lay down in bed with her in her room until she falls asleep.

Or let her fall asleep in your room and then move her to her own bed.

Put up a sticker chart and every night in her bed earns her a sticker. When the chart is full she gets some special prize or privledge.

Answer 5

you can try making a little bed in her room and staying there until she falls asleep (or you can sleep there). Then gradually work your way each night closer to the door and then you should be able to put her down with no issues.

Answer 6

surround her with familiar toys and items she likes. let her choose a special toy to sleep with. keep a picture of her grandma by her bed. you might want to start a bedtime routine of maybe a story and night prayers together to help her settle in and relax at night. take your time. its a process and change can be hard and scary for little ones. hope this helps.
