    Silly question here DD is nearly 20mths old and we will be moving a month or so and I plan to move her into a big bed as we will have to room once we move.

    Now, do you have sheets, blanket and pillow once in the big bed? She currently sleeps in her sleeping bag.
    Thanks

    We moved DS to toddler bed yesterday and he loves it. Would have gone straight to a normal single with a step to help him climb in but got a much cheaper deal.
    So far so good. He has already taken to it and loves being able to get up and play on his own

    Thanks everyone for the replies! Sounds like I'm about right - starting to think of it now.

    Kts - not a silly question! I'd like to know this too. DS is in a sleeping bag too - there's just a sheet on the cot mattress, and I'm not sure how to transition him to a quilt & pillow - any hints??

    Evie - sounds like our boys are quite simiar! Can't wait until they meet!

    Maz : LOL about Mateauz jumping.. that would have scared the beejezus out of me!!

    Mel: The cot we have is an Ikea one that converts to a toddler bed - so it's quite low to the ground too. I'm hoping he won't fall out at all, but if he does, he won't drop far!

    As for outside, we go out there together to play and once we have got a few things fixed (it's on the 'to do' list) it should be safe enough for him to play with us keeping an eye out. I've just got to try to get rid of the oleander that keeps persisting!

    Nettie, I'm thinking of putting Bx in a bed around Christmas, so he will be about 20 months. When he sleeps with us, we take him out of his sleeping bag and he just loves pillows! So I'm thinking we'll start with day sleeps and see how we go. I think I'm just more excited about the fact I can decorate his new room!
