Maybe we should try a bed in her room first. It’s been happening over the course of the last month (there was a week when the sleep sack stopped her though). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbing-out-of-pnp#post-2843048 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 00:20:04 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2843048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hypatia: ahh gotcha. Well maybe a floor bed even just in her room would be less entertaining and she would sleep? How long has it been going on? No chance of it just passing in a week or two? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbing-out-of-pnp#post-2843047 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 00:11:19 +0000 Hypatia 2843047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: Oh, sorry, I should have clarified. We think she’ll be okay physically climbing out, but it’s interrupting her sleep. Since she knows she doesn’t have to stay in bed, she climbs out and refuses to sleep. We’ve tried waiting to see if she’d just doze off on the floor, but being out of her crib seems to energize her to the point where she’ll either find a way to amuse herself or start crying and banging on the door to be let out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbing-out-of-pnp#post-2843044 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 23:51:56 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2843044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a zipper where lo could get out of the pack n play without climbing... a lot of them do.. that could work. </p> <p>Some people do transition their kids to beds already at this age. </p> <p>The last thing is.. if she's not in a sleep sack, is it really that big of a deal if she can climb out of it? She sounds super steady. And if she's a climber... she's going to be climbing and doing scarier stuff than that soon. :O </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/climbing-out-of-pnp#post-2843043 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 23:44:35 +0000 Hypatia 2843043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 17 month old is climbing out of her Pack n Play at night and during naps. She was an early walker and absolutely loves to climb.</p> <p>The first thing we did was take out the mattress insert we'd put in it and have her sleep on the mat that comes with the PNP, so it's as low to the ground as possible. Didn't work.</p> <p>Then we measured our old crib (which is partially broken, thus the PNP) to compare the heights, and the PNP is actually taller than the crib. I don't know if the sides of the PNP would be taller than all cribs, but it makes buying a crib instead a little daunting. If she can climb this much now, it seems like a taller crib would be defeated in a few months.</p> <p>We bought a sleep sack. That worked for about a week, and then she discovered that she can still get out if she pulls herself up on the rail and swings both feet over at the same time.</p> <p>She's way too young to transition to a bed. My DH thinks we should put a floor mattress in an empty closet, use a door monkey to keep the door partially open, and point a fan at the door to make sure she's getting proper ventilation. I know that sounds crazy, but I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts? </p>
