I was just coming into BB tonight to ask this very question! Thanks Leasha.

DD is 22months and has been in her cot since 7months. It's a portacot and there is no way she could ever climb out of it. We've had her single bed in the room since she was born, so I could lay on it if having a bad night so she's use to seeing it there.

This week I bought some more linen, washed everything, got a beautiful mozzie net and her special blanket all made up. I talked to her about it all day. She was very excited about her "big girl's bed" with the rail but refuses to sleep in it. She thinks she wants to but then she demands to go to the cot. When in the cot she wants the big bed. It's really frustrating!!!! I lay on it with her inthe mornings to get her familiar and she's had a pillow in her cot for a week or so now to get the feel too. She show's visitors and told my mum about it too.

I wonder if I should just pack the cot up and then she wont have a choice?
Maybe I should ditch the quilt and go with a blanket like she's used to.

I dont want it to become a massive deal and then she flat out refuses for a long time!
