But I’d suggest locks so she can’t come to your room everything
We do a crib as long as possible. Unless they’re constantly climbing out, you don’t need a toddler bed yet. But if you stay consistent with taking her back to bed, staying calm, and just keeping with it, she will get it. I would child proof the door though. Not lock it, in case of emergency.
I was afraid of this when my girl transitioned and it’s been 5 months she’s gotten out of her bed 2x. We do keep it very dark still and still do sound machine. I’d put a child proof lock on the knob so she can’t turn it (if you have knobs but hope you know what I mean, the child safety things for doors). And we give her a minute then go in and say it’s bed time, back in bed, tuck her back in kiss goodnight and she goes to sleep. Id also say as long as she’s not in danger, if she’s playing in her room then maybe just leave her but she shouldn’t be getting out would be my boundary if this were me.
I do a baby gate, here my son is also 2 still in the crib but he’s tall enough to climb out. He has quite got used to not having the guard rails so I’m going straight to a full size just so he has the space to roll. The baby gate allows him to still open his door but not roam the house. That may work better and also help you sleep longer.
I’ll have to try the gate or something. She has books in her room that she could always go play with but she would rather come get me lol when she does come get me I tell her let’s go get back in bed and she gets back in and goes back to sleep for a short amount of time. Thank you everyone!
@Margaret going through the same thing currently. She only wants to sleep with me and she scream cries until I get her. We have books and stuffies in her room but she doesn’t care for them
I have baby proofers on my toddlers doorknob on both sides so if it’s closed he can’t get through ( though in a tantrum he has hung off the door knob and popped the plastic thing off). But it keeps him in his room at night. When he’s really upset we still go in at night to calm him and soothe him.
Give it time but also put locks on their door. We only have a knob lock on our son’s door. But the point of a toddler bed or floor bed is for them to have the freedom. Put some books in there and let her roam. My son would get in and out of bed a lot when we first did a floor bed but he’d be quiet playing. Now he stays in bed. We started a floor bed at 16 months ish and now he’s two and barely gets out.
