Parenting question Transfer to bed

ATMmom324

DD has learned how to climb out of her crib.  It is time for her big girl bedroom.  She is moving to a completely different room and DS who is currently in our room will take over the nursery.  

 She has never really been in what will now be her bedroom.  It was our guest bedroom and we kept the door closed to keep it from getting unnecessary dog and cat hair.  She will be sleeping in a full size bed without the frame so it is low to the ground.  She is the type of child who will not sleep if anyone is around.  Since sleep training at a year she can't fall asleep being rocked or with anyone else with her.  

 My question is Should I move the crib into this room for a night or two to get her used to it?  Should I hold off the sleep for a few days and just have us hang out in there?  I don't want her to be afraid of the new place.  As long as her crib is in the middle of the room she doesn't appear to be able to crawl out.  As long as I put it in the center of the new room for a few days she should be safe.

I'd move the crib into the new room. Gl!

When we put B in his big bed, we just switched it.  No transition, nothing.  But, he was in the same room the whole time, so that might have helped.  We gate his room off at night so he can't sneak out without us knowing.  We don't want him wandering around the house and/or falling down the stairs or unlocking the doors and running out. 

Good luck with the transition!
