We did the same thing with our kids right down to the same bed. I made it a very cozy space for both kids. I put some curtains up around the bottom bunk using a tension rod and we used the tent from Ikea on the top bunk to give each kid their own space (that I let them, for the most part, do what they want as far as stuffed toys and decorating).
One thing that seems to work for my guy is emphasizing that he is a big boy and how special that is and that means he gets a big boy bed and what ever else that comes with in your family.
I think that you are on the right track, making sure you get them back into their beds if they wake at night, I think it's just going to take some time, but it's a bit of pain now for a lot of gain later.
I love Esme's little personality! "Let's get to the fun stuff" (runs to sheets) Hahaha
Gah! 😍 Esme saying I love you guys and glad we like her moms channel just about melted my heart!!!! What a doll!
Love all the bedding! It's so THEM. The room looks great! 😊
We are transitioning too- I really feel you on this. I had to wait for some communication milestones with my son to happen before I stopped co-sleeping and that didn't happen until he was a few months older than Jack is now I think. It really started to come together when he became motivated by wanting to be a "big boy". I was able to explain that big boys fall asleep alone in their own beds and lavish the praise on him for doing it in the morning. Before he could understand this I found it impossible to avoid a giant hours long saga of a melt-down and would eventually give up and continue to lie with him until he fell asleep. He still gets up in the middle of the night (it's been about a month) and I still have to walk him back to his room at least once a night, usually 2 or 3 times. Like you say - it's exhausting!! I take it night by night and try not to beat myself up if I just can't get up to take him back to his room. Rome wasn't built in a day! Best of luck to you guys!!
I just can't get over how similar our two oldest kids are. I just love watching Esme with her exciting personality. And Jacks duvet is incredible!
I have never been more excited for a Tuesday than I am in this moment. YAS SLEEP EXPERT FACEBOOK LIVE!!
Oh yay! I am excited for your Sit Down Mum this week!
love that bed! we bought it for my one year old, and so far he's just doing naps in it, but it's wonderful.
That skeleton duvet cover! I will be setting up my soon to be three year old in bunks with his older brother later this year. IKEA here we come!! Love your channel Amanda. Have been watching you since the Malaysia days :) Always loved hearing your pregnancy updates (you have a soothing voice, lol) and now I love hearing you keep it real with two kids!
Can't wait till i become a mother. love these videos Amanda. such a beautiful family!!! blessings!!!!!
Hi Amanda. First of all, I love you and your family. I found you through your weaning videos when I was struggling weaning my daughter (4 now) You were so helpful. We coslept for 3,5 years with my daughter. She wanted a room for herself but she wasn't quite ready. What I did with her is; I slept with her in her bed for 3 days. Then I started to go back to my room after she fell asleep. Since she wasn't naping during the day she was being so tired to wake up at night but She was coming back in the morning. And sleeping an hour with me. She still comes and now she doesn't sleep in my bed. Only a little snuggle :) that worked fine for us. Hope that helps loves and kisses 🤗
Nesibe Karatas me too! That is idea was so helpful. I found that about a few videos before she went back to Canada 💕 my biggest one is 4 too xxx
Hello! Recently came across your channel and LOVE it. Have gone through and watched a heap of your videos. Love how authentic and real you are x
+Renae O'Neill thank you 💗
We have three boys and now have them all sleeping in the same room. They love all being in the same room, and it has helped them with bedtime, and oddly they all sleep better than when they were alone. It may take some time, but Jack will get there!!!
I'm super excited! I've been sleeping with my parents (on a different bed) and I'm already 10! I'm getting my own shared room with my brother soon!
omg. Esme 😍 that girl is gonna go places! So cute!
Putting ikea together must be like a walk in the park for Dean!
We did the cosleeping transition too. It was so hard! I find she falls asleep in her bed if I lay with her and rub her tummy. She sometimes sleeps through the night or sometimes comes and crawls in with us. If I put her back in her bed she comes back every hour and it's a battle only the sleepless can win! I will say though my husband recently came up with making her bed a fort (we have a sort of similar IKEA bed that you have, he hung blankets down the sides so her bed is completely enclosed). She LOVES it. We refer to her bed as her fort and that makes bedtime so much easier. She also has her quiet time in her fort with her iPad every day as well which I think helps with her comfort level. Sleep changes are soooo hard! Sending you some sleepy magic and mama high fives
I'm late to the party, but just wanted to throw my advice in: I would just wait. Keep doing exactly what you're doing, maybe diffuse some sleepy essential oils or add some soft lullaby instrumentals, but otherwise just wait it out. When we transitioned my oldest at age 3 to her own room it was a lot of back and forth. But after a few months she started sleeping longer and longer on her own. It's just about consistency. And I FEEL YOU on the sudden difficulty sleeping yourself. It's been almost 2 years since we moved my oldest out and I still sleep way better on the odd nights that she finagles her way into our bed. Something about being sandwiched between my little baby and my big baby is just more secure. I guess because I know for sure that they're both safe?
We're getting ready to start putting my just turned one year old in her own little bed in our room. She's starting to get really restless in the bed and I think we're disturbing her. So we'll do a year or two in our room but in her own bed and then start her in her own room. Fingers crossed it goes smoothly.
Love! Hang in there. We just went through moving our twins from cribs to beds and survived so you can do it. I am looking forward to hearing what the sleep expert says.
Oh thanks for making this video, I am thinking about baby 2 so its nice to hear/read some tips on transitioning this way. How did you go when your second came along, had your daughter already moved into her own bed? :)
So awesome! Yes sleep training the kiddos means no sleep for mama! haha but for a short time! Goodluck to you!
We are doing the transition from crib to big girl bed and it was going great for about a week but now like clockwork, the 1:30am sprint from her bed to ours takes place and I'm too tired to take her back to her room so I'm letting her sleep the end of the night in our bed...but she got a new Frozen pillow case today to stay in her bed at night, lol. Not sure that'll work so I'm pumping myself up to taking her back to her bed tonight when she comes in...You're right, the getting lots of sleep to interrupted sleep is rough! Solidarity!
Gentle Thrifty Mama my son wakes at 1.30 too sometimes if we don't take him to go on the potty a few hours after him falling asleep for the night. That might help? 💞
I would like to suggest not starting in your bed and transferring when he's asleep. He needs to learn that this is his bed, this is where he sleeps. With my daughter the expectation was I could "make" her stay in her bed, the sleeping part was up to her. Books, toys,Fisher Price tape recorder (yes, it was that long ago) all up for grabs. But no getting out of bed. Sure, there were midnight renditions of Aristocats. But I didn't have to get out of bed. She was in control, within her boundaries.
katee bee also think about how freaked out you would be if you woke up in a different place than where you fell asleep!
I'm all about kids sharing rooms! so fun😊we transitioned our 3 earlier 6-12 months old... So no tips from me... I imagine it's a lot harder now as Jack is set in his ways and used to being with u. good luck!
love the babies room,,sooo nice💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I know it sounds crazy, but we are a family of 5 in a one bedroom! It works for us right now, as we're saving to buy a house. My 3 year old (former co sleeping/ nursed until 2 years old) climbs into our bed about once a week. Sometimes I'm too tired to put him back in bed and I get kicked in the face 😂 But I just think it takes time and eventually he won't wake up and move into our bed. Good luck! Bunk beds & IKEA are the best!
I moved my two daughters into the same room (7yrs and 21months) and they sleep together in a full size bed. It was honestly the easiest way to transition them out of my bed. I still get my 7 year old waking up and wanting to get into bed with me but for the most part things are going really well.
Did you put slats or anything to support the mattress on the floor?
Your set up looks a lot like ours! We didn't co-sleep quite like you did though. The kids would be put down in their own bed and they'd end up in ours in the middle of the night. When we transitioned our eldest to a real bed, we ended up just using a double bed we already had, so when bébé numéro 2 came along, hubby would go into his bed while baby and mama stayed in the master bed. But my kids share a room now (5 and 2,5 years old). My son is still in his double bed (on the floor), and daughter is still in her crib (they've been sharing for almost a year now I would say), but we'll have to transition her eventually (she actually randomly asked for a new bed a few months ago). They have a shared dresser, a bookshelf and a few toys in the closet (mostly puzzles and some blocks). I've thought about bunk beds, but I worry about my oldest falling out in the middle of the night since he's used to a bigger bed, or tripping down the ladder. You haven't had any issues with that? When the youngest has trouble falling asleep, her brother tries to comfort her, and it seems to help. We rarely have to go back in once we've left them for the night (DD has always been a better sleeper than DS). We had to stop staying until they fell asleep because both of them (separately) went through a phase of taking over an hour to fall asleep because they just kept talking to us! Our set up works for now, hopefully yours will work for you too!
Ryan actually told me I had to watch this for the Esme blip "Don't listen to him. He's a cutie but don't listen to him." He said "Her daughter is way too cute." :)
"My name is Esme! Respect me!"
HAHA
I'm dead!
I must know...from where did you get that gorgeous shirt?! 😍😍😍 Looking lovely as always!! 💛
What is the tidying up method you mentioned?
sorry not sure if your answered it already where did you find the hack to convert the bed into a bunk bed? thanks in advance
Your daughter is so cute! You guys have the same personality, it's adorable!
We really really do, sigh ;)
Very smart hack! Also, I love your hair!
Thank you!!
Hi did you buy slats for the bottom??
oh i loove this blouse!
+Anna Shatsky thank you!
Our transition went over about half a year. But she was just 1 1/2. so she napped in her room first twice a day later once a day and than we cuddeld her to sleep at night time. It went soooo smooth.
something i found super helpful is laying with my child in her bed till she is asleep, lol like you i have fallen asleep in her bed a few times, but my child is now super exited to go and even hangout in her bed
I've preparing myself to transition my 9 month old from cosleeping to his own bed. He still wakes up 2-6 times a night or more wanting to be rocked or nursed back to sleep. So for over a year I haven't gotten more than 3 hours in a row of sleep, bc when I was pregnant I was waking up to pee all the time! Needless to say I'm exhausted, my last vlog was actually about this. I think we're going to have to do Ferber.
Mommy Etc ooh try ahaparenting for how to get your baby to sleep on his own. It's gentle 💕
They need to fall asleep in their bed. transferring them after they've fallen asleep doesn't work
I know this is an old video big I’m wondering as I’m looking into this bed- did you use any type of slats/support for the bottom bed?
We did not, but I’ve seen other people do that. Not a bad idea!
You're skin looks flawless. Are you still using Fancl?
I feel like sometimes a sound machine helps, a fan, with our kids it's just a very strict: 6pm everyone starts getting into baths and pajamas, 7pm daughter goes down, then the boys depending on who is more sleepy lol and my husband travels a ton as he works in the news business so I usually have to do it alone so I can't be lax about it. I'm hoping when my baby is older he will share a room with my daughter because they are both amazing sleepers!
"Just move to the fun-ness!" She's so cute omg🙈
+Sarah C ☺️
My four year old and 9 month old both sleep in the same room with that exact bed. My kids never liked cribs so we used a Montessori floor bed and it worked for both kids. I try to put the baby to sleep first but it's not always the case. If we put them to bed at the same time I feel the key to a having them really accept sleeping in their own room is having them fall asleep without me there. The 4 year old is used to this, but of course our 9 month old still has a couple rough days. I'm a found believe in sneaking out of the room in any way you can. Ninja your way out. Also a camera to watch them does wonders. You don't have to buy one of those expensive baby monitors. If you just buy a simple security camera that run maybe 40-70 and have someone in the house who is handy, you can set it up so you can view it on your phone. That way you know if they really are behaving. Just because they are quiet doesn't mean the are doing bad things. Our 9 month old still wakes up every night at least once or twice, and our daughter is just used to his noises so she doesn't wake up, even if I trip over something as I come in. I really love them sharing a room, it has established such a loving relationship, one night my 9 month old woke up and I had to use the bathroom before running in there and helping him, and I found my 4 year old cuddling with him and trying to calm him down with his favorite toy. There were many sleepless nights in the beginning but we are really happy with the choices we made.
I have a 20 month old and I'm almost ready to wwan him off co sleeping. The only thing that was keeping me from doing so was that at night we connect him to a feeding pump and he tangles himself around the line, sometimes around his neck. SO I felt like I needed him near me so I can feel him move around and monitor him but now we are trying to schedule his feeling so we don't have to connect him during the night while were sleeping. I've been looking at that ikea loft bed for 2 weeks now because my daughter would LOVE to have sleep overs when he starts sleeping in his room.
Esme said "go to the fun part!" 😂😂😂
Jack is the cutest!! So funny how much he likes skeletons!
ooo who is the sleep expert for the Facebook live??! I used someone local TO before and she was amazing. We will need to do something similar to what you did in this video, but with another layer of complexity (extra kid!). eek!
Thanks so much I've been looking for videos with those as bunk beds ... I want to get those ... with toddlers I really want to keep beds lower ... Did you put those slats under Jack's Mattress as well?
+plussizemommy2B no slats for Jack's bed. It's a great little bed though!
I know I love them and I'm sure they are so much easier to make the bed because you can actually reach over. if I had an Ikea closer I would have them. I have to drive about an hour and a half to Ikea and I haven't made the journey in a truck yet. did the boxes fit in your mini
I LOVE Jack he is SO cute omg, when he dances to your song, cuteness overload ❤ How about glowing stars, those which glow in the dark, here in Denmark you can get all types, stars, skeletons, planets, princesses and so on, maybe that will keep him there because of the small amount of light?I'm not an expert my boy is still sleeping in our room and only 22 months 😊
We don't cosleep, so I don't have any experience here. Do you encourage Jack to have anything to snuggle in his bed? We started forcing a lovey (super tiny blanket) on my son when he was 9 or 10 months old, and now he sleeps with that every night and for naptime. He didn't care for it at first, but now it's his favorite thing. Maybe having a stuffed animal or something that Jack can snuggle will help him feel a little more comfortable when he wakes up during the night.
We need a tutorial on your makeup please!
When we moved our son (at 2yo) to his own bed we put those glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling. He loved it and every night when putting him to sleep we would talk about the stars. Even now, every time I turn off his lights I says "look at the stars". He loves it. Maybe some glow in the dark stars under the top bed?
Barbara Fotesco I love that idea. I'll have to remember that.
I had those glow in the dark stars as a kid as well. I loved them. I still linger and stare at them in the store, wondering if it would be ridiculous to put them in our room now (I'm 28).
Hella Green go for it. There are some really pretty ones I've found on amazon ;)
Such an awesome top & video too :)
Try a nighttime routine. When it's getting closer to bed time. Try spending the last hour or more in his room. So he can feel safe and comforted as when he is in your bed. Finish it off with a book and kiss him goodnight
Esmé is so funny!!
That's how we did it. Same bed :)
No sleeping tips to share, unfortunately. But your hair looks great! I really like that length on you!
The girls' room has slanted walls/ceiling as well, so I've looked at that same IKEA bed. Looks like it works well for y'all! Wishing everyone lots of rest during this transition!
We just got this bed for my 3.5 yr old - and what you left out was that this bed is a pain in the bum to assemble!!
+SimplyStacyL that's the worst part of IKEA...the assembly 😅
We have the skeleton too my son loves it.
We have same bed for our biggest kid who is 4.
I love this bed for my daughter but really can't afford it😃
I'm working on getting my youngest (3) to sleep in his room with his older brother (10). He has co-slept since birth, so it's been rough so far. He has to have his Mama all the time!! They will be sharing a bed, so hopefully it will stick soon!! We have baby #4 on the way, I told my husband that I'll have him sleeping on one side and the baby on the other, nursing all night! lol
I know Jack snores at night, and even though sometimes it's cute seeing them with their mouth open while sleeping it's not normal for a child to snore. I recently went to a CE course and learned about Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, check out this blog post.

no help with co-sleeping, but we do have both my girls sleeping in the same room. SO much easier!!!
when their a bit older we plan on changing to bunk beds to give them more space and open it up more. Any tips on getting rid of stuff/purging down?
Elizabeth Fontenot if it doesn't spark joy, it's gone 😎
So i co-slept with my oldest sho is now 12 ans now with my two younger 3 and 1 yr old. when it was time to transition my 12 yr old i firzt let her pick her own bedding but then to get her to stay and feel lile i was there ahe got to pick something of mine to take with her. so she would sleep with my robe. you could try pillow, anythibg that smells or is like mom".
I should say I transition my 12 yr old when she was 4..... not 12
