With our daughter...who transitioned nicely...she was in her own crib and sleeping thru the night from day 1...she came home at 11 months. However, once we brought Alex home...she was about 2.5 years old, she regressed a bit and I have been lying down with her in her bed each evening and when she was taking naps...at nap time. Now it is a habit we both enjoy...
Alex, oh baby Alex...he came home at 8 months and did not transition nicely...we have tried everything...we initially started off with his crib in our room...he was waking 8 to 10 times per night....we tried co-sleeping which did not work for him for some reason. What has worked best for him is for us to come to him and reassure him when he wakes during the night. He has been much better as of late...I have started sitting in his room and just hanging out with him until he settles down...it *seems* to be working.
It is so hard to know what will work...are both kids going to be in the same room? That may help if they are...or having them in your room...just not in your bed.
Good luck and congrats!
