[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing drives me more bonkers than the question "have you asked your ped for advice." Seriously!? Why in the world would I want my pediatricians advice on sleeping when I could ask parents who have actually encountered the same thing, probably more recently than my 65 year old pediatrician!  No way would I make an appointment, show up and say, well I'm thinking about moving my child to a big boy bed ...

OP, I know lots of kids who transitioned after 3 and don't have any more problems staying in bed than anyone else. That's not to say that it is easy to keep a 3 year old in bed! It's not! We had a lot of success with a reward system. If my son stayed in bed during the week he got a surprise on the weekends. I'm about ready to move my daughter to a big girl bed and we will be resurrecting the surprise system ASAP![/quote]

Well, my pediatrician is a mom, her daughter is relatively young, she is nowhere near 65 and she is more well-versed on developmental literature than I am, so I value her advice and her perspective.  Maybe you need a different pediatrician.[/quote]

Sad that you can make any parenting choices on your own. [/quote]
