I have a two and half year old......?(she will be three in a couple of months)?

And I'm living In a two bedroom home my two year old sleeps in her own (toddler) bed and she sleeps in our room her bed is close to our bed. I've been thinking about moving her into the other room tonight should I do it? The other room only has a couple of dressers in it and I've been dreaming about the day that the room will be hers.Plus we have another baby that sleeps right by my side of the bed because I'm breastfeeding at night. She's very jealous of the baby. I'm afraid that she's not ready to sleep in a room by herself since she does have nightmares(which are normal for a child her age). Should I put her in the other room to sleep? Should I do it gradually? I've searched the internet and found nothing that can help. Please give me a few tips about what I should do. Only serious answers,no harsh comments, because there's nothing wrong about asking......

i also have a liitle girl about the same age (27 months) and she has been in her own room since she was about six weeks old. So I don't know your exact problem with getting her into her own room, but maybe if you make it exciting like maybe getting a cool new toy to go in her room and keep telling her she is going to be able to stay in her big girl room. ( maybe not a toy but maybe a picture she helps pick out or something along that line). I wouldn't do it gradually, I would just put her bed in the room and tell her this is the big girl room and this is where she sleeps now. it might be rough for a few nights but she will like it a lot. I also have a little one I am also breastfeeding (10 week old) and she is also very jealous of the new baby. I asked a question on here about it and it's helped a lot. People said to include her all the time. Like getting me a diaper for baby, throwing it away, getting the baby a new blanket, sitting on the floor with both kids and letting her interact with her little brother, etc.. She is now starting to interact with him like she will sit and talk to him and make faces at him and he will grin so I say look he loves you just as much as mommy loves you, stuff like that. She is still a little jealous but it's helped out so much. She isn't crying as often. Hope this helps and good luck with your 2 little ones.

I think she would love it. Paint it her favorite color and let her help choose some decorating.

I'd say go for it definately, tell her she is a big girl now

Just put her in her OWN room. It is TIME. She will be FINE all on her own. Don't make a big huge production out of it either.
