Ok, Moms, I’m in desperate need of some advice. My daughter, who is now 17 months old, has always slept in our bedroom out of necessity. We eventually turned her crib into a cosleeper bc it was easier on everyone. (She would scream to the point if waking our neighbors, so cry it out never worked). We are moving next week, and she will finally have her own room. How do I start to transition her into her own room? Any help is much appreciated.

17 months? She is such a baby I wouldn’t not allow my baby of that month to sleep alone. Would hug her tight till she’s around 3 years or more!

Good day everyone, am here to testify about the greatest spiritual healer that helped me believe in life again after my husband had left me for another woman.
Life has been so difficult for me these past few months and I had given up on myself knowing that I will not find love or true happiness again. My husband left me for another woman of whom he was working with at the same station and this really left me with no more reason to live and i even once had thought of giving up on my own life but decided to give myself another chance to live, so i decided to contact my elder sister and tell her of what i was going through. My elder sister told me to contact Mama TINA after Mama TINA helped her bring back her husband who had left her for one year and went and stayed with another woman but when Mama TINA did a love spiritual for her, the husband came back in 2 days and from that time they are so happy and so in love and we all see it. So my sister sat me down one day and talked to me as woman, to woman and told me I should do everything in my power to get my boyfriend back because he had also broken up with me after I caught him with another woman. I was so hurt when I knew my boyfriend was having an affair with another woman but my sister told me not to cry and be strong and that if I still love my man I should make sure I get him back from that woman. I contacted Mama TINA and told her my problem and she made a love and binding prayer for me and in one day of the prayers my boyfriend called me and begged for my forgiveness and promised never to hurt me again. We are back together so much in love and recently he proposed to me and we are getting married soon. I thank u Mama TINA for doing a strong love spiritual prayer you made for me.
You can call or whats-app Mama TINA on +27673788758 in case you need any spiritual help for am sure many of you out there are in this same situation or even worse.
Slowly! Move her bed away from yours. Start a couple ft, then the doorway, out the door, her doorway, in the room

Start off still letting her sleep in your room, but in her own crib/bassinet. Then once asleep, move her to her own room
We transitioned at 15 months my son was trying to climb out of the bed we started with nap time during the day then after a week of that would put him in his crib after he fell asleep worked great for us . I would play around with a few ideas you will find one that works for you guys good luck momma also my son is now 2 and sleeps in a toddler bed and still comes to our bed 
but we enjoy cuddle time
Cant help sorry as mine were quite easy but i hope you find something that works
We have never cosleeped with our children. We did keep a bassinet or pac n play in our room for the first year and then put them in there room with a baby monitor. This way we knew they were waking up before they got too loud to wake everyone else up.
With my oldest we had to do the same thing and honestly found it was so much easier for her and us that when we moved she transitioned from our room to her own and from a crib to a toddler bed and she did extremely well! Granted I put so many pillows and couch cushions by her bed incase she fell off but she didnt and she didnt wake up during the night she was so happy to see me in the morning though as she came and woke me up in the morning
Complete dark, white noise, a fan going but not directly on her, only one nap during the day and not too late in the day and she should sleep through the night.

Just something to think about: my son slept in his own room until we moved and his whole world was messed up. Maybe think about keeping her in your room after the move until she gets used to the new space.
Then transition to her own room.

I would start her straight out in her new room in the new place. Make it fun for her with having her bed decorated with things she likes and her toys or toy box in there so she knows it belongs all to her. Kids are very smart at this age and there is nothing wrong with her being in her own room either as long as it’s not on the opposite end of the dwelling than mom and dad - she might just surprise you and really like it…if she is walking well enough I’d maybe try her with a toddler bed instead of the crib so that she knows she can get up like a big girl does…just an option here. Good luck with this and congrats on the move you sound excited.

If she still takes naps during the day start with that in her own room for a week. Then move her in her own room for day and nights.
When you move into your new place. Get her excited about her new room and big girl bed.
Get a bedtime routine.
Bath
Pj’s
Read a book
Kisses night
Than tuck her into bed. Leave door cracked, hall light on.
This will take persistence. DO NOT GIVE UP!
Wait in livingroom. If she comes out. Take her by the hand. Tell her its bedtime sweetheart. Lead her back to bed.
If she comes out again. Say nothing, just take her back to bed. Repeat this step until she goes to sleep.
She will ask for a drink. Ask to go potty. Eliminate all of this prior to bedtime. If she plays with toys. Remove toys from the room. She will learn you mean business. Eventually, she will give to sleep. The next night will get easier. So forth. Look up Supernanny on YouTube.
Patience and firmness. It’s going to be a difficult process and giving in is easier than pushing her. At the same time, don’t give up if you mess up a few nights. Try giving her some one on one time before bed. A bath, then lotion, and a story. Make sure she has a nightlight and explain that mommy and daddy are just down the hall. It’ll be a lot of back and forth, but like I said it just takes patience.
We let our little one pick out her own bed. We skipped the toddler bed and got a normal twin bed. But she got to pick her own bedding. And we got a princess tent off Amazon. She came in and out of her room but that’s to be expected. But we kept the crib mattress and slid it out from under our bed at times .
Start by letting her play with her toys outside of her bed and get used to her room. Then move her to her room after she falls asleep. Then try nap time. When that’s a success move on. Baby steps!
I sure don’t have any answers . Mine would go to sleep in my bed all snuggled up with me . Through the night I would put them in their own beds. That went on until they were about 6 and 8 years old .
I would start with naps I feel that once she gets use to napping in her own room it will make it easier for night time. Make her room super cool talk it up at how great it is. A nightlight is a must staying strong is the key and you never know she could be ready for more than you think. Good luck
I started out sleeping with my kid and once he fell asleep then I would get up and go to my bed, the next morning I would tell him what a big boy he was!!

I slept with my daughter she fell a sleep I went and got in bed with my husband it’s how it worked for me
Since you’re moving and it’s going to be a completely new environment I agree with Ashley and start out with naps in her room.
We had the same situation but he was always in the crib in my room and we moved less than a month before he turn 2 and I just put him in his own room straight away and there were a few tears for the first couple days but he actually loved it and slept better
Mine does great with her toddler bed. She crawls in bed and we hand her her milk and we leave her in her room with the camera on. Sometimes she’ll get up and play with her toys but eventually she’ll crawl back into bed and fall asleep when she’s ready
My little girl stayed in mine & my fiancé’s room until she was two .Than I just put her in her room & just sat in her room until she fell asleep. What helps us is she has a tv in her room & I put her a movie on or go to YouTube put on puppy day pals. All kids like different shows but sitting in the room & playing something on a tv might help
New house new room Don’t even bring her into your new bedroom go straight to her own room Clean slate for everyone

Put them into their bed and sit by their bed singing or reading a story to them until they fall asleep. This worked for me most nights.
Its all about repetition. Your going to keep getting up to put her in her bed. Make her new room fun and exciting
Just set up her bed in her new room & tell her she’s a lucky girl to have a room all to herself where her toys will be when she wakes up.
I would try letting her start out as taking naps . Maybe every other night put her in there.
Make sure all her toys are thete no toys anywhere else and that they stay in the room for play ,for quiet time, for bed
Start with naps or quiet time then acouple days after its the room for bedtime read her stories before bed
Let her pick her decorations
