my 4 YO won't sleep in his own room

Lily
HELP! My fiancé and I are so sleep deprived and not because of our 5 month old! It's our 4 YO. He was always good with sleeping in his own bed, wake up at 4am and jump into ours. Well, now with a new born, he can't just jump in bed with us. We are trying to teach him to sleep throughout the night. Waking up every night and walking him back to bed, getting him in bed and he WONT sleep unless we cuddle him and he falls back asleep. So he's been comforted to know that one of us at all time will sleep with him. Well this is the bad habit we're trying to break and nothing has worked. Suggestions? Tips?! Incentives are short live. He just keeps repeating "I don't wanna sleep by myself". As we sleep WITH him, he'll wake us up and make us hold him so he'll know we won't leave his side at night. 
On another note, he goes back and forth months at a time to his mom and stepdad's house. We live outta state so 3 months on and off til he starts school. But he just said "I wanna go there so I don't have to sleep by myself". They don't have a baby so he does the same thing, but can still jump in bed with them. 😒
Day 1 of true sleep training and I've failed. I'm laying in bed with him for 2 hours and he's now fell asleep. Every time I try to go back to our bed, he's cried and I don't want him to wake the baby. So here I am.
