[quote=Anonymous]Mom of older kids here. Did she sleep well in the crib? If so, maybe just go back to that and try again in 6 months. When you’re in the thick of these years, these things seem important. Trust me, they’re not. There will be a point where she no longer wants to sleep in a crib. If that’s not the case yet, and if she sleeps well in her crib (thus allowing you to sleep well in your own bed) enjoy your sleep and let it go. We tried a toddler bed with my oldest around 3, and it was a disaster. After a week of none of us sleeping and not being able to take it anymore, back to the crib he went. At around 4, he started asking for a regular bed, and when we gave it to him, he happily slept in it from day one. It was a regular bed with rails, not a toddler bed. We followed that same plan for my next two. They are all teens/tweens, and whether or not they switched to a bed at 2, 3, or 4 has made no difference in their lives.[/quote]
