I think we need to move our 16mo twins from cots to beds. For the last couple of months they climb the outside of the cots and try and hang off them. Two accidents waiting to happen and it means I can't leave them unsupervised in their bedroom (my last sanctuary when I wanted to go to the loo etc). Now they are trying to climb out when in the cots too. Only dt2 I think is big enough to actually do this, but they both manage to climb up a little by wrapping their feet round the bars. So far, it's still ok whilst they're in growbags, but it's just too unnerving, I feel the cots are no longer safe.
BUT... how on earth do I persuade them to move to beds and stay there? They understand most of what I say, but don't have any words of their own yet, so communication isn't going to be easy. I also can't imagine how they will stay on their own bed and sleep, I think they will be off to play with/annoy the other one. And when one wakes in the night currently, I can get in, feed back to sleep, without waking the other. Without the restraint of cots, I think the waker will be off to wake up the sleeper, and trying to resettle two is so much harder than one.
So, has anyone moved twins to beds around this age and do you have any tips? Even if we don't do it now, it will have to be soon, they are such climbers, and dt2 is determined to get out. He has already dived out when the cot wasn't on its lowest setting, and he only has to grow another 2cm or so before his hips are high enough to do it again.
