What can be done with the crib mattress when you move up to the regular size bed?
We kept ours for indoor jumping and tumbling on rainy days!! Now that my kids are preschoolers, I put one on the floor and prop one up against the wall so my kids can practice their handstands. (And they still love to jump on them inside on rainy days!)
Save it if you plan on having any other children. If not, you can try to sell it or give it away.
I would keep it for awhile. you may want to put it on the floor in your room until she really gets used to being in the big girl bed all nght by herself. Both of my kids went through the transition of not sleeping all night in their beds and always came into our room. We did not allow them to sleep with us, but were allowed to sleep on the floor.
Keep it for other kids who may sleep over. My nieces/nephews/neighbors kids sleep over frequently and lay on the mattress with their sleeping bags. More comfortable than just sleeping on the floor.
advertise on Craigslist. Sell it for $15. Someone will be thrilled to get it. This is, if its still in good shape.
Donate it to a furniture mission where they will give to a child who has no bed.
