Sleep Solutions

The transition to a big kid bed from a cot can be fun and exciting for all involved but so often I see this happening too early and this is where even great little sleepers can go downhill 😩

ESPECIALLY if your little one is happy in their cot and not attempting to escape, I suggest keeping them in their cot until closer to three years old. For the most part, through no fault of their own, they lack impulse control until closer to three years old and simply can’t stop themselves from getting up out of bed. This can result in:

- Bedtime battles
- Overnight wakes to come and visit you in your bed
- Getting up toooo early in the morning 😴

Toddlers LOVE boundaries (physical boundaries and otherwise!!), so being in the cot makes them feel safe and secure 🩷
