Does anyone have any advice for me? DS is 2.3. He is very rapidly growing out of his cot. We don't have a toddler bed due to lack of funds, so he is going straight into a single bed (with bed guards) we were given that is already in his room. He will snuggle down in it for a story, but as soon as I leave the room, he's out and rattling the stairgate, calling for me.
I try to put him back, and the same story. When I put him down in his cot though, he goes straight off to sleep and usually sleeps the night through.
I don't want to force the issue as he is, by nature, a bit of a contrary child and I think that if I force it I will just put him off indefinately.
Is it better to just give up trying for now as he's not ready, or should I keep on gently trying in the hope he will fall asleep there one night?
