Crib Bed
Crib Bed
What do you think is the average age or most appropriate age to move a child from the crib to a bed?
My son is two and a half and still in his crib. I can't remember when exactly I moved my daughter to a bed, but I know she was at least two and a half. She seemed so ready at the time though, and he really doesn't. I just feel like we should start making the transition pretty soon here, because of his age, but then he's never even attempted to climb out, so I'm wondering if maybe I should just leave well enough alone for now. What do you think?
I think You Are right. Leave well enough alone- for now.
Does the crib you have turn into a toddler bed so you can take the idea for a test drive?
If so, I would try that. I transitioned my two oldest out of their cribs around 18 months because they were little monkeys climbing the bars every chance they got.
If you don't feel he is ready, give him another month or two and test drive the idea then- if you do not have access to a toddler bed, just take his mattress out and lay it on the floor- made up like a bed, and see if he takes to it.
Good luck!
Does anyone have any good tips for changing my babe from crib to bed?
My girl is 15 months...and I would love for anyone to give me some good tips in changing the crib to a bed. She moves around alot and loves to play a little in her crib before she falls asleep. So will it be difficult to switch her to a bed, because then she will be able to run around the room. I am not doing it right now, but would love some tips for the near future.
I changed my girl over at 13 months, i didnt make a big deal about it, and it worked out fine. At first I let her play on it (toddler bed, low to the ground.) I usually rock her to sleep then lay her in her bed. At first when she would wake up at night I would her her whine, and I would find her leaning over on the bed half asleep, I just put her back in it and shes fine. And in the morning she walks to my bed and we sleep a little longer.
This worked for me, because at the time she would wake up all night and not let me put her back in the crib. So this way she was able to walk to mommy if she needed to.
We gated off the kitchen and make sure the bathroom door is closed, its a straight shot from her room to ours.
Every situation is unique, you just have to do what feels best for yours. If she's older you CAN make a big deal about her BIG girl bed, and get cute bedding, let her pick out. At a young age though they dont notice that stuff yet. I think it worked out better doing it at 13 months, than it would when shes 2 or 3. good luck
