DS1 went into a bed a month after his 2nd birthday, was going to be before birthday but bed took 9 weeks to come in!
We moved him into a bed because DS2 was getting too big for bassinet so we needed cot!! DS2 will not sleep in cot grrr
DS1 transitioned to bed very well, first 5 nights he never got out then we had 2 weeks of getting up a few times before he finally went to sleep.
DD1 was 15 months. She kept waking up from banging her head or feet on the rails.
DD2 was 19 months. For the same reason as DD1.
Both times they've gone into a single bed with no dramas.
DD went into a toddler bed between 16 and 17months. There wasnt one particular reason why I changed her at that time. I just kind of decided the week before that I would move her into a toddler bed. Thought she would look cute and I am a gemini and love change! Kept the cot up for 2weeks JIC but ended up taking it down. DD LOVES :heart: her bed so much. She even lets me lie on it sometimes and we read stories (yes I just fit curled up into the feotal position). She sleeps through the night in it and often wakesup and goes and gets her books and reads in her bed - well looks at them IYKWIM!
Its worked out really well as I have been able to lend my cot to my BF whose 2nd child grew very quickly out of the bassinette and their first child hadnt taken to a bed very well so still needed her cot.
DS went into a single bed at 21 months. I wanted to get him used to being out of the cot, so he wouldn't feel like DD had "taken" his cot. The transition was fairly smooth besides a few trips up and back to his room most nights.
DD is 16 months and we have no plans on putting her into a bed at any point in the near future. Mind you she is teeny tiny, so still has plenty of room for her to grow in the cot.
DS was about 20 mths when he went into a bed because he started to climb out of his cot. I was worried he'd hurt himself and figured a bed was the best way to avoid that.
