When did your baby move to a crib? a Toddler bed?
My little princess is 1. She has little siblings on the way. I need to know what experienced moms think about when I should move them from a cosleeper in my room to a crib in their room. Or if that is different with twins. Should I put them in the same crib? And when should I move Minnie to a toddler bed? HELP!
To a crib, from birth, we dont think in the bed cosleeping is safe, he had sort of a smaller, kind of like a bassinet, crib in the bedroom for the first couple of months, then was moved to a normal crib at about three months. He was moved to his own room in his crib at a year. We never had a toddler bed, we find them to be a waste of money since they grwo out of them so fast, then you have to buy another bed, and they really dont have a purpose besides to look cute. We moved him from a crib at 18 months, when he first started to try to climb out of the crib, thats when its important to move them as they can get hurt, so we moved him to a twin box spring and mattress on the floor, so he wasn't far from the ground if he rolled out. With this next baby, they will go into a twon bed with bedrails that go halfway down the bed, to keep them from rolling out until they are old enough that they wont fall out of bed and if they do, they can take the fall. Do not put the twins in the same crib, thats really dangerous, they need to be in their own cribs.
DD has slept in crib since we brought her home from the hospital. while she was still little enough, we had a bassinet out in the living room for her to nap in while we were spending time in the living room, and then she slept in her crib in our room the rest of the times. she is 2 and is still in her crib. it converts to a toddler bed, but we haven't converted it yet because DF is thinking she will get up and play with her toys at night and end up crashing out on the floor somewhere in her room.. so idk when we will convert it!
My 2 y/o is still in his crib. I'm giving him a few more months then kicking him out so we can use the crib for the new baby. I've put it off because he sleeps so good and naps so well in it. I just know he's gonna be difficult to train into a new bed lol.
