Hey...

I put DD in her big bed just after Xmas she was 15 months. We moved her new bed into her old room, and just put her in. She goes to sleep fine on her own, so we jsut did the normal, gave her the bottle and dummy next to her head and off she went... slept through for the first few night beleive it or not! We have a side rail up now as she had a few tumbles, and that has worked a treat.

Sometimes she will get out now and cry for a bit, we jsut ignore her (as long as she's not hysterical) and she usually falls asleep at the door, within a few minutes and we just put her back into bed when we go to bed!!! She rarely does this though!

I guess you need to what you feel is best... you know DS better than we do. I think if he has one of those car beds then just put him straight in... he'll be ok... Kids adapt very easily!
