Toddler bed

We tried it but he didn’t want to go to sleep. He kept coming out of the bed and was staying up

He would fall asleep on the floor in his room.

As long as she’s not climbing out of her crib and is unsafe, keep her in there for as long as you can! 😂 developmentally, kids aren’t able to understand staying in their beds until closer to 3-4 anyway, so do what you can to keep your sanity and her safe. My daughter is 2.5 and still in her sleep sack and crib and loves it, so we’ll be keeping her in there until she figures out how to climb out.

I just transitioned my toddler because I’m expecting next month and wanted to do as many transitions before the baby comes since that will be a transition itself. We potty trained in November and just did the toddler bed and still working on it. I had to sleep on the floor night 1 and 2 but dad started doing the bedtime routine and he stayed a little longer. There were a few nights where he came out at midnight or 2am, but we just told him to go back to sleep and there have been many nights where we just put him back in, but don’t stay and it’s rough. Ive had a lot of friends who don’t transition until 3 because there’s no need (they aren’t climbing out of the crib). At 3 they’re able to understand and listen a little better (from what I’ve heard). My friends who did it at 3 do the red light green light with the hatch and tell their kids they have to stay in the room if the light is red and when it’s green they can come out and that has worked (at 3+ y/o).

It’s definitely a process I thought it was a good idea but she discovered newfound freedom and would just play, take a lot of patience. I tried for maybe four months when she turned two went from taking her side of her crib off during the day and let her nap without the side but at night put it back up. Now she’s two and a half and goes in her own bed no problem. Of course she will still get out sometimes but you just gotta remind her to go to bed and lay down. Took a really long time.

Mine started hating her crib at 7 months so we coslept for a while until she turned 1 and we put her in a floor bed which she loved. Now she’s 2.5 and been sleeping on a regular twin bed with a bed rail, she’s done well!

I regret this so much. My 2 year old slept soooo well in his crib then like back in Oct we moved him to a toddler bed and since Oct he will not sleep in his toddler bed with out me or my husband. Then after he falls asleep in his bed, if he wakes up and we’re not there he just comes and gets in our bed. If they sleep good in their bed and she can’t climb out don’t rush it. I regret it so much. I never sleep anymore. My son sleeps under me or on top of me. Sometimes I wake up and panic cause he’s stuck his head under my pillow and I didn’t even know he was there and I freak out and check his breathing.

Mine switched to a toddler bed at 14 months with a childproof door knob on the inside then she got a twin size bed for her 2nd birthday. She’s now 2.5 and no longer has the childproof knob on her door so if she needs my husband or I she can leave the room and wake us up since she can clearly communicate if she needs something. I can’t imagine her in a crib at this point. Just keep their bedroom child-proofed with all furniture mounted ☺️

We just bought her a twin mattress it arrived today! At this point she can get herself in and out of our queen beds no problem, can open and close the doors and walk up and down the stairs fine. She is very adept at climbing. I think I took the front part off the crib a few months ago but she’s changed so much the last 3 months we totally trust her now with Stairs and doors and getting in and out of bed
