He's asleep in the big boy bed!

schmoodle · January 2011

(Box spring removed, bed rails up, etc.)

I give him a half hour, LOL. Only had to lay with him about 8 minutes for him to fall asleep (vs. 15 mins. of rocking usually) but he was wiped today from a short nap and a lot of fun/activity.

What are the rules about pillows/blankets/etc. once they're safely toddlers? I've got a couple pancake-y pillows wedged in the gap between the mattress/headboard due to having the mattress lower than intended, he's sleeping on a toddler pillow, and the entire foot of the bed is a stack of pillow pets and stuffed animals. Is this a "no-no"? Usually in his crib he'd have his puppy and be sleeping on a thick quilt but no other pillows and stuff. In our bed, tons of pillows but we're keeping a better eye and he sleeps away from them.

Good job momma!

This is Charlie's bed- pillow, matress, boxspring no rails... He only fell out once! :-)

2 lovey's, 2 stuffed monkeys who both happen to be wearing diapers today. 3 lose blankies, a sheet and a comforter. Oh and a small sippy of milk.

Once they are like 6 months old they can move things away from their face- he's just fine!!!!

Woo! That's great! I would think he's fine to have whatever he/you want in his bed

. I hope tonight is the beginning of good things!!

Yeah for you, momma! We are so not close to a big girl bed.

At that age DS started sleeping with a tennis racket, golf club, soccer ball and often while holding his baseball mitt. I'm sure whatever he sleep best with is fine.

Congratulations! May this continue.

Yay!! Hope it's an all night sleep!

Good luck!! Can't wait for a big boy bed for Aiden.

He woke up after exactly an hour (to the minute) - about the same as usual in the crib lately. But DH laid with him and got him back to sleep in about 5 minutes, whereas normally we'd bring him to our bed. Don't have high hopes but we'll see!

Awww That's awesome that he went back to sleep!

FYI- Charlie was not good at sleeping through the night until we moved him into his twin bed. I think he likes the room and can wiggle around without hitting crib rails!

still asleep?????

ps -Ava has a bed full of stuff, and has always slept with her blankie over her face. I used to freak, but now I know she'll move it if necessary.

Yay!

Awesome. Maybe this is the key to his success! I wouldn't worry about extra "stuff" in his bed at this point. Hope he continues to sleep well for you.

I have the girls in toddler beds, no boxspring and half rails. They've fallen out a time a two but just crawled back in and went to sleep.

They each other a pillow pet, a decorative pillow and a comforter set w/ full size pillow on their bed, along with their loveys and "lankies" .
