Switching to toddler bed?
Answers:
The best thing you can do is just to stay firm. Put her in her bed and tell her goodnight and then walk away. If she gets up, walk her back into her room and lay her down and say it's time for bed. If she gets up again, just walk her back and don't say anything. The best thing you can do is just to stay firm and not give into her. But, you never know--she might love her new bed and you might not have any problems. Also, you never want to wait until she's asleep before you put her in her bed. That most likely will turn her away from her new bed because she will be confused when she falls asleep in one place and wakes up in an unfamiliar place. Anyway, good luck and God bless :-)
I think its easier to wait until she's asleep and then put her in her new bed. Like take a drive until she's asleep and then put her down in the new bed.
WHen she gets up just put her back in it. Talk to her about it all day before. Tell her about big girl beds and being a grown up and her having a big girl bed and some day a grown up bed and la la la. So she understands whats going on.
Then just make sure you always put her back in her bed whenever she gets up at night. No matter how many times you have to.
Make it an exciting thing - a great game and a real treat. Tell her stories of all the girls who don't get the great bed she has and all the magic good dreams you have hidden under the pillows which will come to her in her sleep.
Let her know how proud you are of her to be such a lovely big girl and also let her know that no matter how big she gets she will always be your baby, and also maybe be with her next to the bed until she sleeps for the first night so it is something you share together. Hope it helps!
Let her pick out things to put on her bed.......like Blanket,pillows,sheets, Say your a big girl and you now get a big girl bed. If your worried she will fall off the bed get the bed rails.
