toddler bed?

My daughter loses her mind in the crib so we started co-sleeping. I did buy the toddler bed conversion for when she is ready. But not sure when we will start yet

My babe has always hates the crib and refused to sleep. So we’ve been cosleeping for 20 months, essentially. We switched to a floor bed with a higher bed frame so she can’t roll out, about 6 months ago, and we still co sleep for a majority of the time - she still needs me to lay with her to fall asleep but she’ll get through naps without me next to her the whole time and she’ll go at least 6 hours without me at bedtime. The best decision I’ve ever made

I went the montessori twin bed frame route. And we nap happily together in her bed. 🥰

We did the crib until she hit 10 months then she refused to sleep or calm down in it. When she did she woke up with bad night terrors for hours at a time. The night terrors have gone away since we started co-sleeping. So we gave in.

She used to love the crib but hated the bassinets and pack and play. Then she loved the pack and play and crib. Now she wants the bed only. But I feel like she is too young for the toddler bed.

But maybe your son would benefit from a toddler bed or a mattress on the floor with rails. It worked for my nephew at 1.5 to 2 years of age. But it was a queen size so his parents could join if needed.

We switched our son to a toddler bed at around 17 months old. He loves it! He really enjoys getting into his bed every night on his own. We use a baby monitor with all the notifications for peace of mind.
