[quote=Anonymous]The panic of this moment winds up being funny in retrospect when your kid acclimates to a bed faster than you expect them to and it turns out it's actually safer and better for them to have more freedom of movement -- they can come get you if they need you (instead of relying on calling out), it makes potty training easier, and it starts to build some independence around both bedtime and wake up time that I've found help with sleep longterm. When I had my baby, a friend gave me the advice of "keep them in the crib as long as possible" and I get why this is the goal for many, but having gone through it, I think the reverse is true. Move them out of the crib and into a be as soon as they seem ready, and if they can climb out of the crib they are ready. Then teach them the safety and responsibility of sleeping in a bed. Sooooo much better than extended crib use because now you're free.[/quote]
