30 month old suspect Autism bed

[Ejhdah18]

Hi,

sorry titles shocking 😂 just some advice on what others have done.
so my daughter is 30 month suspected autism still being assessed. She doesn’t follow instructions or understands to stay in bed she will just play and play as much as she can. Now she’s the youngest of 4 and I never had any problems transitioning from cot to toddler bed. She still sleeps in a cot but she’s getting too big now my partner said buy the same cot and he’ll be able too attach them together so she has a bigger sleeping area but then I’m convinced we’ll do that and she’ll learn how to climb over 😂 she still shares a room with me but she has her own corner so I don’t disrupt her too much but I know if we where to just have her in a bed she can leave she would never go sleep.
what have others done in this situation?

thank you

perhaps ask admin to move post to sen boards?

I actually didn’t know they had a board for SEN its first time using mumsnet thanks

Yes, I'm aware. Not sure why this is directed at me and not the OP?

I responded to your post because you said you “still don't understand how you think you can confine (or whatever word you want to use) her to a bed for much longer.”

If you know there are specialist beds that can confine disabled DC much older than OP’s DD then I’m not sure why you “still don't understand how you think you can confine (or whatever word you want to use) her to a bed for much longer.”

Because quite obviously confining a three year old in that way is not an appropriate response to stopping her playing and is not an option on the table.

Hopefully that's cleared up and no need to derail the OP's thread.

You don’t know it isn’t appropriate. For some 3y/o’s, it absolutely is appropriate.

Hello and welcome to MN. If you’re look for SN Chat or SN Children the posts in there dont show up in the Active Threads list so you shouldn’t get MNers, who clearly have no clue what parenting a DC with ASD is like, commenting on your posts

Sorry forgot to say, when you have the assessment appointments, consider asking for Melatonin. It should, hopefully, help your DD to go to sleep. You can also get slow release Melatonin which is good of she goes to sleep then wakes up.

These beds are floor level, with rails. You can choose the size of the bed and the height of the rails - so if you wanted a single bed, but with high toddler rails, they can do that.https://www.roomix.com/products/toddler-floor-bed-high?variant=44518276464809

Thank you everyone for the replies they’re really helped 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
