Big Bed

Anonymous Author (December 2006)

Hi everyone. i just wanted to ask you all, when is the best time to move from cot to "big boys" bed?

Kobe is able to climb our bed not a problem, and lays on it all the time. shold i try now? ( kobe is very

tall for his age and is almost the full length of his cot, i only have a small cot though)

PLease let me know what you did, thanks very much, i appreciate it!

I beliieve it is up to the individual, my son actually sleeps in our bed, we are moving him into his own bed this summer as with toilet training he will be a big boy (nearly 2), We will start by being in our room until he becomes familiar with his own bed then we will move him into his own room with all his toys hopefully by doing this; it's baby steps and gaing our childrens confidence that we are always going to be close by.

big bed
hi i just had two babies in the space of 12 months and had to get ryan ready for a bed at 12 months.we got the bed and set it up in the spare room we tought him how to get on and of while ashlei was still in the basinett when it was almost time for her to go in the cot we let him sleep in the bed for his lunch time sleep and not long after that made the complete change he was 15 month in total. ryan loves his big bed and is very proud of himself ofcourse everyone is different and everyone goes at their own pace but if you think your baby is ready then give it a go it takes a little time but its not hard
