No coddling at all. It tends it fix it within two nights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/big-kid-bed-help#post-1860815 Fri, 12 Sep 2014 16:42:59 +0000 Jess1483 1860815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 21 month-old wonderful son transitioned really well to a toddler bed about 2 weeks ago. And then it all went to hell... Now he's up 2-3 times a night. For awhile, it was clear he was sad or scared, and I'd go to him and sit on the edge of his bed until he fell asleep (sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 20). I think I've created a monster, though. Now he will come get me, pull me back to his room, and then lay down before I even get to his room. He's certainly capable of putting himself back to sleep, but I'm sure I ruined it. I don't want to gate him in his room, although I suppose I could do that. And I'd really prefer not to back-track to the crib, although if we get desperate, we might.</p> <p>Anyone else go through a similar stage with this transition? He's doing well falling asleep alone at night, but not in the middle of the night. Happy to take any suggestion! </p>
