    Pick her up and put her in there, like you did the cot. We did that with DD and it took her ages to work out that she could climb herself!

    Is she a wriggler? We got one of those mesh bed rails from Target and we still have it up - 2.5yrs. We have found her smooshed up against it several times so I've no doubt that without it she would have fallen out.

    No other real advice.. We just made a big deal over "big girl bed!"

    Good luck hun!!!

    Good luck! Both of mine moved to big beds when they were about 18 months old but I can't for the life of me think of any hints lol. They were co-sleepers prior to that so they were used to being in a bed and neither ever fell out.

    Hope she doesn't give you too much trouble xx

    Good luck! We put dd in a bed at 19 months. She used to go down really well in the cot but it takes a bit of time to sit with her to keep her on the bed. Now we are dealing with night time wakings and wanderings but hopefully she will settle soon if we stay consistent, not easy when tired ourselves. Please let us know how you go
