Sleep in Toddler Bed and More Changes

Once you do start co sleeping, it is hard to discontinue it. I do not think a big bed would work if her toddler bed is not working. Work with her by repeatedly laying her back into bed every time she gets up. She will then know what to expect next, that she will be put back into bed every time she gets out. Also there are some great little clips at www.toddlerbedandmore.com that anwers these issues and that may help. A lot of good tips on the web! Consistency is truly key in whatever you route you choose. Good Luck!

When we moved my daughter was also 2yrs. old. We had changed the toddler bed fairly soon after we move in and we had some problems with her sleeping. I say leave it alone and let her get used to the changes. She might still be upset that there are boxes and thinks she might not be staying. Give it more time and try to re establish old routines from the previous home.
Good luck

She may be scared of the height of the new bed without having the security of the crib rails. If that is the case, then I think that big girl bed will end up with the same problem.
I would try just putting her mattress on the floor and see how she does with that.
Good Luck!!!

i know i moved my grandson into a toddler bed and most of the time i find him on the floor.. i know i read somewhere that you should let them stay in the crib as long as possible and not rush it.. but i found some advantages to him being in the toddler bed that i just leave him. When we put him to bed we put a tv on with a sleep timer.. it seems to divert his attention when we leave the room.

I can only tell you what we did... We also moved in a new house around bed transition time. Our daughter was 18 months and climbed out of the crib OFTEN (Too many times to count). We bought bunk beds (knowing we wanted more kids someday) and put the top bunk as her bed (it has side rails on both sides and an opening at the bottom to climb in). It took about 2 nights and she was loving it!! She slept great all by herself. We now have set the whole bed up (she's 4 now) and LOVES to sleep up on top.
One other thing we did after the move was let her pick out a special "sleeping buddy" to share her new room. She had to use that same special buddy just the other night the night before 4 year old kindergarten.
Good luck and have fun with all the changes... do keep in mind that she is changing emotionally at this age and a move is a big adjustment. Maybe it is not the bed, but the new room??
