moved to big bed!!

[nulnulcat]

last night was the first time in nearly 2 1/2 years dd tried to escape from cot she got stuck with one leg over either side at about 4 am this morning! have put her in a big girl bed tonight for the first time had a bit of a problem getting her to sleep usually i put her in the cot wide awake she chats to her toys for 10 mins or so then goes off to sleep, tonight i had to lie down on the bed with her until she was asleep. worrying i am going to have to do this every night i dont want to create bad sleep associations! part of me is worried she is not ready to go into a bed yet and im preparing for a night of getting up a lot to put her back to bed!

We put ds in a toddler bed at 2 months ago when he was the same age as your dd. The first couple of nights were a bit tough, but he has done pretty well since then.

have you tried leaving her with her toys?

DT1 has gone into a big girl's bed, but DT2 is still in his cot.

You should sit by the side of her bed and gradually get further away if you can.

When ds went inot a bed he kept getting up. had a couple of nights standing outside his door for about 30 mins each time. He got the message and now we only have the problem of him getting up at soem ridicualous hour and wondering about the house!

she used to sleep with loads of toys in her cot - is slightly obsessional and would notice if any were missing and when i made her bed up to day i got her to help me put all her toys on it just to make sure i got them in the right order! ocd anyone!!! has been in bed an hour now think i heard her stir a bit but sounds like she went straight back to sleep fingers crossed! have cancelled my girls night out as worried about it all!

oh honey... I'm sure all will be well. Rearrange your girl's night out for next week. Prepare to stand outside the door for a while. It will come good.

10pm and im doing well still not a peep out of her! am off to bed myself now so hope it will last and dp has been warned with painful death if he makes a sound when he comes in! if he wakes her up then he will get up all night with her hangover or not!!

My little girl climned out of cot at 2yr. She ws always very active at night and so she fell onto the flooe. Make sure you put some balnkets on the floor just in case.
