I wouldn't do it either. I put my eldest DD in a bed at 16 months.. way too early. She never fell out (thought I used to pull a spare matress out each night as a landing platform just in case), but would get up before I did and reek havoc. Get into the pantry, fridge, make-up.. everything. I'm a heavy sleeper, and never used to hear her. With my 2nd DD, she never went into a bed til she was over 2. It was good knowing she was out of harms way until I heard her.

I plan to keep the 3rd DD in her cot for another 12 months, and purchase a 2nd cot for the bubble in my tummy now.
