my husband and i have finally decided to transition our 2yr old daughter into a toddler bed.other than her getting out of bed more what else should we expect?
we've been via this additionally. its a discomfort. some suggestions I actual have (and ones I actual have heard from different mothers and fathers): a million. baby protection Gate: she would be ready to hate it for a night or 2 then learn. then take it down and after that it may want for use as a 'danger' or 'punishment' if she gets out of her room 2. some mothers and fathers placed a lock on the exterior of the room. i comprehend its sounds terrible yet optimistically after some nights you wont could desire to actual lock it, she would be ready to easily learn how to be comfortable slumbering with the door closed. 3. be sure you have a series bedtime ordinary.occasion: comparable time, brush the teeth, examine 2 books, sing 2 songs (we consistently end with Twinkle Twinkle Little celebrity that way he's conscious its time to sleep) 4. especially situations you are able to could desire to make he pass decrease back to mattress all by herself. this way she isnt getting the luxurious of having mommy or daddy tuck her in returned. i wish it gets extra effective for you quickly. keep in mind it quite is a point and we gotta comprehend that faster or later they gotta be in enormous woman beds. I recommend we'd all placed young babies in cribs if we could!
She could tumble out, but she's probably not going to get hurt at all. Just make sure it's lower to the floor. Expect missing blankets. Milky pillows. Missing items of clothing under the fitted sheet. Missing books and dolls, and animals. You will find them under the bed.
It honestly depends on the child. My son was so excited because it was a Big Boy bed so he was all for it. He got new bedding and a new pillow so he was ready to jump in. Some children don't like change so it's hard to transition. There are some books about getting a new bed out there and I would just praise her for being a big girl and maybe get her a bed buddy to sleep with.
My son transitioned from a crib to a toddler bed around the time he turned two. Other than getting out of bed for a few nights (we just put him right back), he did fine. Every kid is different, but I don't think you should expect too many problems, besides getting up a bit. And, as long as you put her back right away without making a fuss, she should get over that pretty quickly too! Good luck!
Nothing really....Getting out of the bed is really the biggest deal. My 16 month old has been in his toddler bed for about a month and I don't have a problem out of him. The other morning I heard him fall out of the bed...he jumped up and came in my room but that just told me i need to move his guard to the middle of the bed instead of the top because he is a wild sleeper... Good luck!
