we did day training and day naps in big girl bed at same time - night training came after she was day trained quite a while (due to surgeries for all of us and the resultant upheaval on her) - she was in a big girl bed well before that. she resisted the change to no cot, so one day while she was away with granma, we just took the side off and gave her no choice. she coped fine.
I have TT trained 3 kids, to be honest, I never actually 'thought' about which came first. Just went with the flow, if they were ready to TT, we did it, they all also took a while to night train so it all worked out. Two of my kids scaled the cot early so were in a bed well before TT occurred.
We are actually TT this weekend and she has been in her bed with no sides for quite a while, she was one of my climbers.
If you think she is ready for day and night together, you really need to take the side off the cot and stick with it. I wouldn't be putting a side back on in the middle of the night, give it a few nights to start with, you may be surprised just how well she goes
Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'm not sure if she would day and night train at the same time, but if she seemed keen I wouldn't want to discourage it!
I'm probably just as undecided about what to do first now lol. Maybe I should take the side off the cot first???? I guess I should get some sort of bed rail so she doesn't fall out though. Where do I get them from?
We moved my little girl, then 18mths, to a toddler bed (cos we needed the cot for her brother) then started TT at 2. She is still not nap/night TT, but she's only 2.5 now.
We got a bed rail from target. They had them half price in the big baby sale they had not long before DS moved to his big boy bed. I think from memory they have that sale in Jan or Feb, but I can't be sure if it'll be on sale again.

What would you do, move to 'big girl bed' or toilet train first?
