STM+ - transitioning to toddler bed

Last night was my 22.5 month old's first night in a toddler bed (he had been climbing out of his crib). I got him settled down and to sleep until his sister woke up at 1 am for a bottle. He must have been sleeping lightly, because normally he sleeps through any crying she does - not to mention he has a sound machine going and she was in her room with the door shut. Anyway, I didn't have much choice but to let him hang out with us while I gave her a bottle. After that I spent two hours trying to get him to sleep again in his bed. Finally had to give up and put him in bed with me so I could get some sleep. Does this get easier?

  • Yes it gets easier! We struggled for about a week with DS1. We ended up putting a gate on his door and that really helped. He would see the gate and just get back in his bed. But yeah, that first week was rough.
