Should I do these simultaneously or separate? Re: Bedsharing & paci

SO and I want DD out of our bed before our new baby arrives in September. We also want her completely weaned of her pacifier. Would it be better to do these at the same time or paci wean first then bed transition? Or vice-versa?

Also, right now we live in a one bedroom apartment. DD's toddler bed is in our room but is mostly used for blanket storage. We are moving in June where DD will have her own room that we would like her to sleep in. 

She needs me and her paci to fall asleep for naps and bed. I hold her to sleep for naps and then lay her down, for bedtime, I have to lay next to her with her head on my arm before she will fall asleep.

Sorry this got long. This might be P&R also as it's almost bedtime. TIA!

    I tend to lurk on this bored and have never really posted but, I would do one at a time and you may want to wait on one until after the baby has come and she is more secure, she may need something to help comfort her. I would do the bed first if it was me and I'd do it when you move so she starts out in her own room in the new house, just make a big deal of it. I don't know how old she is but if she's 2-3 it might help to let her help you pick things for her room and stuff, just a thought. I also wouldn't necessarily just go cold turkey and put her in the bed and walk out of the room, when I moved my son from my bed to his I started out sitting right next to the bed and slowly every few days moving a little closer to the door eventually I was out of the room and it worked out, but every child is different so you'll have to go off your own instinct with your DD. Hope that helped and congrats on having another little one!

    We did paci wean first, move into his own bed second. I figured it would be a pain to get up and find his paci if he couldnt find it at 2am. Worked fine.

    Thanks ladies. SO and I talked about it last night for a little bit and decided we'll wean her first then transition her when we move. DD will wake up a few times a night still and it's usually for her paci. 

    She is 18 months BTW. I don't think she'd have much fun picking out room decor. (Thank goodness because I never got to do my dream nursery for her, now I can!)
