Tips on getting your 2yo to stay in bed for bedtime?

Samantha

I’m due in April with my third little girl and the main issue I’m foreseeing is nighttime.... My 2yo will not stay in her bed on her own, I will lay in bed with her til she falls asleep and then I leave.. The issue will be that with both of my girls I had them sleeping on my chest for the first month or so (the only way me and baby could get a good stretch of 5 hours of sleep at night) This will definitely be difficult especially if I have to lay with my 2yo for 30-45 mins for bedtime each night and baby daddy can’t hang with the baby since he’s asleep early for work...

I wanted to work on this sooner rather than later so there are no issues when the new baby gets here! Any advice is appreciated 😊
