Transitioning to toddler bed

aforst

We put DS's toddler bed together this weekend.  He will not stay in the pack n play at daycare anymore, so she has him in a toddler bed to nap.  So, DH and I thought for the sake of consistency, we should do the toddler bed at home too.  He did really well over the weekend, slept in it Friday and Sunday night w/o getting up at all. (Saturday night he slept in bed w/ mommy!).  Last night, he was up at midnight and then again at 4:30.  He is such a good sleeper normally, so I'm not used to getting up at night!  I totally understand that he will have some transition time, so it's not a big deal.  It did bring back memories of him not sleeping through night though!!!

ya it was hell for us...son didnt want to take nap which usually he is great with...that has passed for the most part. I was at the point where I wanted to put the front of the crib back on (we have a convertible crib). DS wasn't climbing out or anything but with #2 coming in jan I wanted to get this stress out of the way. I am glad I did...good luck!

DD coslept and hated her crib even in daycare. Now that she's in the 1 to 2 toddler class, they have cots so i figured to try the toddler bed. We took crib apart and put up toddler rail. What a great transition! Dd loves in and has been sleeping through the night ever since!

Does he get up and stays in his room or he leave and come to yours? What about putting up a baby gate?  We are starting the transition this weekend. I plan on putting a gate up at his door so he can get up but can't leave the room. He sleeps on a cot at daycare with no issues transitioning from the pack n play. I am hopeful about our transition but have no real experience yet.
