My little boy has been in a toddler bed for about 8 weeks.
He’s recently (3 weeks maybe) started taking everything off his bed to go to sleep.
Now, for about a week had been preferring to sleep on the floor?
Any suggestions as to why?!

Hey I’m Mel a holistic sleep consultant.
To be honest I don’t know why your little boy is doing this but I must admit I don’t know why toddlers do any of the things they do! 😂
What about trying moving the mattress onto the floor for a while? Or make it more enticing such as a little den? Depends on your little one and what they like!

- we did wonder if he was doing it because of the heat, when it cools down if he is still doing it then we are going to move the mattress into the floor and see if it makes any difference!
Thanks for your reply x

Does he go to nursery? Maybe he sleeps on the floor because it’s familiar?

he does go to nursery but I’m sure he’s still in their cots x

it’s worth a try! If he does start sleeping on the mattress leave it for some time then you can always try it back then on the frame. Good luck 🤞

My toddler actually chose to sleep on the floor for the past 2 months.. some nights in his bed, but mainly on the floor. I have no clue why. I read that they will grow out of it.
But I was thinking of buying a floor toddler bed with the rails around.

My LO has been on a floor bed since 11 months, never had any problems. But the last few weeks while it has been hot she has been Purposefully getting off and laying on the wooden floor! Figure it was to cool down
