Needing Help with Upgrading to Toddler Bed....

If you can, put the toddler bed up in the room now and let her get used to it being around. See how she does. If she takes to it you may not need to even put the baby bed up in the new house. She may hate it and you can just skip the toddler bed all together. Also, she may need to go into a twin because she may be too old for a toddler bed.

I would change now, or wait a few months after you move-like previously mentioned "one change at a time." She will need some famliar things when you move and the bed is a big one! You can use her old crib sheets and blankets on the toddler bed to help with that transition, but I would recommend a twin bed instead of a toddler bed, she can use it longer and its one less purchase and transition you'll have to make later. Hope all goes well.

My oldest daughter started climbing out of her crib around 20 months. We knew we would be moving in the next few months and decided to get a "big girl bed" then. She loved it! We let her pick out the bedding and let her be very involved in the process. She had no problems adjusting either. If your daughter is climbing out of her crib or seems to want to sleep in big beds, I would just wait until the move. Talking up a big girl bed for the next two months would help too. Then when you move let her help set up the bed (which for us involved letting her hold the instructions or screwdriver) and make a big deal of her getting to pick out her new bedding. If she doesn't seem excited about getting a bed like mommy's then maybe waiting until you've been in the new house for a month or two would be better.

My vote is for one change at a time. Let her adjust to the new house for a couple months before changing her bed. She may not be able to express verbally her feelings about moving, but everythign will feel very unfamiliar to her. Let her bed be as familiar as possible.
