The only thing we're not doing is weaning from the paci (unless we hear differently from the dentist). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo1-go-through-a-lot-of-transitions#post-2120018 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 13:30:35 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2120018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We transitioned DD out of her crib, which we wish we didn't do. I wish we just got another crib, and didn't mess with her awesome sleep! She did great for a couple months, but then started climbing in and out and she just loved her newfound independence (at our dismay, haha). Oh well, we eventually all adjusted! Not fun dealing with a newborn and a roaming free DD though.</p> <p>We tried potty training before baby came, and I think she was still too young so we ended up halting and restarting about 6 months after DS was born. I'm glad for that because 2 in diapers is easier than trying to take a newly potty trained kid to the bathroom all the time + managing a baby.</p> <p>The other transition was we had DH start doing all her baths and bedtime routines (mostly because I was pregnant, nauseous, and getting bigger and bigger so the leaning over was bad for my back and belly)... it worked out well because by the time the baby came, I could focus on the baby and DD was used to having DH do most things with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo1-go-through-a-lot-of-transitions#post-2120008 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 13:26:34 +0000 travelgirl1 2120008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did the big girl bed recently and are starting to potty train. She may also be moving countries, which is the one I'm most worried about for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo1-go-through-a-lot-of-transitions#post-2119774 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:15:41 +0000 SeptMomma12 2119774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got rid of the pacifier over Christmas, but other than that we're avoiding transitions completely. He'll be 2 yrs 8 months when DD is born in May. We're hoping to potty train over the summer. And I never want to move him to a bed...but that will probably happen over the summer as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo1-go-through-a-lot-of-transitions#post-2119761 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:10:00 +0000 knittylady 2119761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We totally avoided transitions! He was 15 months when ds2 came on the scene so the only things we had to avoid (and are totally still avoiding 6 months later) were binky weaning and transition out of crib... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo1-go-through-a-lot-of-transitions#post-2119743 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 11:03:30 +0000 blackbird 2119743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm actively avoiding any transitions :) She'll be 25 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo1-go-through-a-lot-of-transitions#post-2119731 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:55:40 +0000 Mamaof2 2119731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He moved classrooms before his sister came but he PT'd, gave up his pacifier, and moved to a big bed AFTER his sister was born </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo1-go-through-a-lot-of-transitions#post-2119696 Tue, 24 Mar 2015 10:44:55 +0000 mrsjyw 2119696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>prior to the arrival of #2?</p> <p>DS transitioned to a big boy bed and potty trained in the last couple of months. He'll be starting preschool in May part-time, before his little brother arrives at the end of July!</p> <p>The transitions have gone surprisingly smoothly and I'm hoping we've spaced it out enough that it hasn't been too overwhelming for DS! </p>
