it all starts with making sure you and hubs are on the same page... start the conversation with telling him that you don't want to fight about it but that the baby has to sleep in his own bed. He is almost two and i bet if you remind him that the longer he sleeps with you the harder it will be to get him to sleep on his own the hubby will see you point... i mean unless he likes the idea of a 10 year old sleeping in between the two of you... Just put him in bed after he is asleep and when he wakes up get up and try to sooth him a bit and lay him back down. it may take a while for him to want to be back in his own bed and not with you guys but it will be worth it. (also ask hubby if he is trying to prevent TTC.)

i would just say tough love- if u leave him in his room (and get ur hubby to do the same) eventually the little guy will get the point and saty where he is- he may cry himself to sleep a few nights but it will be worth it!!!

I'd go with staying with him 'til he falls asleep. It shouldn't take long, then you and your hubby can have some time together, in your own bed. My stepsons used to have trouble sleeping without me in bed with them. So I slept with them 'til they nodded off, got out of bed, and spent the rest of the evening/night cuddled up to my fella. :-D Also, should he wake up in the night, stay with him ''til he falls asleep again. Get him adjusted to his own bed, without you and your hubby in bed with him. If he's like my stepsons, he'll eventually grow out of it.
