On a couple of occasions recently, my LO has managed to climb out of their cot on their own, thankfully when I’ve been there. Is it time to move to a toddler bed? Anyone else at this stage, or already been through it? Grateful for advice, what did you do?

Yes, I would be looking to take the sides off the cot - at least one side, or getting a new bed altogether. My little one looked like she might start doing this a while ago but has now seemingly forgotten, but I’ve still been looking around for a bed 🫣

Yes it’s time to move to a toddler bed or convert your cot to a cot bed. I transitioned my LO to their cot bed on Wednesday and was a success. I put them into the cot bed with a book and granted they do play with toys for 30 mins and just fall asleep in his bed. So you do have to go back in to put the duvet over them and remove toys from the bed. Just FYI mine cried for 30 mins to an hour the first night but since has been excited to go to bed.
