We most likely have to move this winter, and I'm so worried how DS will take it... I know I'll miss our place, and he might too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179991 Fri, 15 May 2015 16:50:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 2179991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha I posted this same question last night! You got way more answers though ;) im worried about the transition too. My toddler is high anxiety and strict routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179977 Fri, 15 May 2015 16:24:20 +0000 Cherrybee 2179977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: That's what Im hoping for! The two houses have identical lay outs upstairs. Its going to be fine I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179701 Fri, 15 May 2015 12:53:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 2179701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I was terrified!! But on moving day, as things were coming off the truck I was setting up their rooms with the EXACT same configuration as their old rooms. And LMW had just gotten over a MAJOR sleep regression. And they both went to bed at normal time and slept thru the night!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179678 Fri, 15 May 2015 12:40:16 +0000 Cherrybee 2179678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the replies everyone! It sounds like there's no need for me to worry. Phew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179344 Fri, 15 May 2015 08:15:23 +0000 mediagirl 2179344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gah! Something else to worry about when moving!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179312 Fri, 15 May 2015 07:44:51 +0000 Alivoo01 2179312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved when DS was 8 months old. He was a terrible nighttime sleeper up until 12 months so that didn't matter. Our new house is much bigger than our old house so he enjoyed the extra roaming space. The move didn't affect him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179301 Fri, 15 May 2015 07:39:36 +0000 illumina 2179301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>S was 16 months when we moved to Wales and she didn't seem to bat an eyelid. She didn't see us actually move as she went to stay with my parents before the movers came and we picked her up and brought her home after we were all set up in our new house. Sleep was unaffected too, thankfully! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179266 Fri, 15 May 2015 06:58:23 +0000 looch 2179266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moving house doesn't seem to bother my son at all, we moved into our current home when he was 2.5 and he did just fine. I thought he would be stressed out about being away from his toys (we did an international move and following the shipment overseas, they went into storage for 6 months) but he had enough new experiences and things to keep him busy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179234 Fri, 15 May 2015 05:25:59 +0000 daniellemybelle 2179234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved when LO was 9 months and it was really rough but she has always been sensitive and especially was at that age. We had also just come back from a trip which was the first time we had left her.</p> <p>We may be moving again soon &amp; I am hoping it will go better this time because she's older and more flexible. @Pumuckl: That's a great idea to not let her see the empty house. I am also hoping we can have our car moved and we can fly to our new city so she doesn't have to deal with the 14 hour car ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179230 Fri, 15 May 2015 05:10:27 +0000 delight 2179230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved a few weeks after she turned 1. The move didn't affect her negatively at all. She was super excited about her new house and loved exploring it. She has always been a good sleeper and this didn't change at all. We made sure that her crib and bedroom were all set up that first night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179220 Fri, 15 May 2015 03:59:26 +0000 Pumuckl 2179220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved house and location a month ago. Both my 2 year old and my baby were utterly unimpressed as in they didn't care. We made sure that the older one didn't see our old empty apartment with all his things gone and no idea were they ended up. So once he saw the new place all his things were in place. </p> <p>Sleep wasn't much effected but he's been traveling a lot with us so he's used to sleeping in new places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179213 Fri, 15 May 2015 02:05:42 +0000 lamariniere 2179213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have moved several times with DS and just once with DD. DS handled the moves really well, really there were no problems at all. DD was younger when we moved and it did mess up her sleep for awhile (but she wasn't STTN in any case). </p> <p>For us, it worked to really get excited about it and talk about it like an adventure and really stress all the new, positive things. When the move actually happened, I set up the children's rooms first so that they would have all of their stuff available to them right away. If you can visit the new home a few times before you move, that could also be helpful so she can see it and spend a little time just running around when it's empty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-your-lo-cope-with-moving-house#post-2179210 Fri, 15 May 2015 01:53:16 +0000 Cherrybee 2179210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did he/she cope and how old was he/she? Did you do anything special to make the transition smooth? Was sleep affected - agh?! </p>
