My belief is to never have my kids sleep in my bed, except for the occasional nap to cuddle. I have had my newborns in the same room in a bassinet but they quickly were moved to their crib as they knew I was right there and wanted me, lol. But since you've had the child in bed with you for so long, the only thing I can think of going cold turkey and keep the child in their bed. Go in and comfort if they wake and each time you go in stretch the time out longer and longer. I can take time but it's worth it, not only to the child to have their independence, but for you and your husband as a couple! Married couples need their time and intimacy (not just sex) especially with a baby in the house when things are stressful. Couples need to keep their connection when times are stressful. Let's face it, we love our kids and will do anything for them, but kids come and kids go! They'll eventually move out of the house and you'll want to be alone with your husband enjoying life rather than catching up on everything you lost during the child raising years.
