Transition from cot to bed.?
Im trying to get my son into a "big bed" and im having trouble. He is ok on it until i leave the room later he screams and cries and gets off the bed and leaves his room. I dont kno what to do to show him its nontoxic. Hes 2yrs old. I put all his comfort toys/balnkets on the bed with him. He also have a night light.
Answers: I have merely put my son in his "big boy bed" also. Although he is younger than your son, mine is only 18 months old and i no that some population may seem that too young but he was climbing out of his cot constantly and i be afraid he was going to hurt himself. I was worried that he wouldn't settle at all within this bed, and was very surprised the first night as he slept as soon as his boss hit the pillow and only tumbeled out once!
However the next few nights turned into what i thought it be going to be like! up everytime i left the room, playing. So at first we removed any toys that he could get to, to play beside and that would work after a few hours...but he wasn't going to sleep untill 10.30+ an he is usually asleep for 6.30 so in the end we bought a baby room divider from argos.
We enjoy placed it around his bed, so he still has the little bit of freedom to get in and out of bed...so he can bring used to it, i was still bit worried that it wasn't going to work, but to my surprise he would just climb back into bed and shift to sleep! i think that is really good...he is in a minute asleep by 7pm and its all getting easier!
eventually we will be extending the space around his bed, giving him abit more freedom each time and soon will not need the takings anymore.
i hope this has helped you some?
I no that some people may reflect on that this is wrong and that you should just stick to putting them back to bed...but every child and every parent is different and its whatever works for you! Good luck x
obviously,every child is different, but what really works is to make it a game. tell him that it is you're bed not his. believe me, he will want to.
if the rationale is because he is afraid of the big bed, and he doesn't feel protected anymore,you could try to sit next to the bed until he falls asleep.do this every night, but step a little bit more to the door and away from the bed every night. this way,you're child get used to the bed and feels safe. when you've reached the door, give up it open, but sit outside where he can see you. he will feel not detrimental. Eventually you can go away without you're child makes a fuss out of you disappearing.
it takes a lot of time,but its worth it, believe me!
good luck!
