Not sure what to do, any advice welcomed!
DS is 23 months old, small for his age, and throws himself around a lot in his sleep.
He's still in a cot, hasn't started climbing out, and used to settle easily.
We have a high single bed in his room, with a trundle under it, which he's meant to move in to.
After bath, he loves to tuck himself into bed in our room, pulling the duvet up etc. Now he's started to do the same in the single bed in his room.
Recently he's taken ages to settle, screaming for ages, and if I'm stood there cuddling him, he's pulling and reaching for the big bed.
If I put him in the big bed he tucks himself in happily.
Longwinded explanation, sorry! but, does this mean he's 'ready'?
I worry that he'd fall out of the big bed, it's really high up, and he wriggles all around in his cot. Even with side guards added, I'm not sure he'd be safe.
Options are;
Leave him in the cot a bit longer.
Adapt his cot into a cotbed (DH is a carpenter!)
Put him in the big bed with guards and hope for the best.
Dismantle the big bed, and try him on the trundle?
Whaddya reckon?
