Oi. My first hated sleep so much. This article was really interesting, as was the book Bedtiming as it goes over cognitive development and all the ways it fucks with sleep. Good luck on TTC!
There is a great book called Bedtimming by Marc Lewis and Isabela Granic. It details what kids are going through cognitively at different stages. From the teaser page:
28 months - 3 years - Not a good time to sleep train
Why not now? A tricky combination of a capacity for intense jealousy and a willingness to push boundaries makes for a determined yet irrational little boy/girl. By this age, though, children's development becomes quite individual, so follow your instincts as to what is right for your child.
It goes on to state that 3 - 3.5 years is the last real time to repair sleep habits with ease. Kids at this age are motivated to be to a valued member of the family and you can use that to your advantage. Stuffed animals or cuddly items can be great tools for comfort and, as everyone has said, consistency and routine are key.
It's a wonderful book, that is easy and fun to read, while being packed with technical info.
