my son is 22, almost 23 months and we want to start putting him in a bed instead of his crib. Hard to do because he is a GREAT sleeper for both naps and nighttime...just hate messing with his routine. However, I'm due in April with twins and we really need the crib. I'd rather do it now while I'm still mobile and the babies are still (god willing) far enough away that he won't associate the change with them.
We bought a twin bed (mattress/boxspring/frame) over the weekend and plan to start with the mattress on the floor, eventually adding the other pieces as he gets used to things.
Any tips for making this transition? Should we leave the crib up for a few days? Its a small room, but we should be able to fit both comfortably for a short time. Moving the changing table out helps with that.
I appreciate any advice BTDT's can give!
TIA!
