My little one is 18 months and has always hated his cot. We had few weeks of heaven when it seemed he accepted it, going straight to sleeping after we'd put him down. But now we are suddenly back to square zero for apparently no reason. As soon as we approach the cot he starts crying and there is no way he falls asleep in it (not going into details, but boy we tried everything!).
In his room there is also a double bed and this is were he sleeps most of the time and where he falls asleep immediately. He clearly loves sleeping there!
The reason we didn't want him to there vs in the cot was we were afraid he would fall. But now he's able to climb up and down very easily.
If we put a gate to his door, do you think it would be acceptable to let him sleep in the big bed or is it too soon? I know it's weird asking strangers about it, but I don't know what I don't know, if you see what I mean. Am I not seeing a potential problem for now or the future?
Thank you!
