My 2 girls are 13 months apart also and Gemma is coming up to 18 months and is still not ready for her big girl bed. We bought her a toddler/cot sized bed so it wouldn't be so daunting, but apparently it still is for her!LOL Poor thing will lay in it but will not sleep in it yet. Argh well maybe Jasmine will use it when shes a toddler!PMSL
