His crib was the same so he didn't seem any different with sleep. </p> <p>We also moved when he was 13 months (fun year) and he didn't seem to notice at all at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392346 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 13:24:38 +0000 Cherrybee 2392346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E was 2 when we moved and she adjusted immediately. We had two nights of crappy sleep, then her sleep actually improved. She called home "new house" for a couple of weeks but then even that stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392266 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:50:10 +0000 KayKay 2392266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours have been surprisingly flexible, and aside from a few minutes of confusion/sadness here or there, everything was fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392242 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:33:34 +0000 Modern Daisy 2392242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took a couple of weeks but that was mostly our fault because we hadn't prepared ahead of time by getting the alarm system installed or setting anything up to make it feel like home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392231 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:21:34 +0000 HLK208 2392231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved when DS was 2.5 and he handled it just fine. We moved again when DD was 1 and her sleep was majorly impacted. She couldn't sleep in her new room for a good month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392230 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 12:19:54 +0000 knittylady 2392230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved last when DS1 was about 13 months. There was no hiccup in sleep, but it may have been because we had overlapping leases for a month so we could do a slow and gradual move. (I was 7 months pregnant and DH in med school). That meant that DS had already been spending a lot of time at the new house, and had even had a few naps in a pack n play there as we were slowly moving in.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392169 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:33:49 +0000 petunia354 2392169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved when my DS was 18 months. We lived at my parents house for 6 weeks between closings and he did well with both transitions from old house to grandparents and then from grandparents house to new house. Not too many sleeping issues or behavioral issues to deal with. I thought it was going to be a nightmare but I'm so thankful that it wasn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392136 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:13:09 +0000 cascademom 2392136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say a few weeks. We moved the day before Halloween. E knew what was up when we were packing, but didn't fully understand until we got to the new house and spent time there. The harder transition for us was preschool and big boy bed wrapped up in the move experience. We've been in the house almost 2 months and there's still times of struggle adjusting with him. Baby J adapted well to having his own room and crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392121 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:07:53 +0000 gilmoregirl 2392121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 1.5 it took my son about two weeks to seem really adjusted. The first week after moving was the worst though (poor sleep, lots of meltdowns); after that it got a lot better quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392119 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:06:13 +0000 lamariniere 2392119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My older LO has moved 3 times and my younger one just once. It hasn't been a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392115 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:04:42 +0000 Greentea 2392115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didn't take DD any time at all! She was shy of 2.5 by a couple months. I just focused on things I knew she was excited about, like stairs, playroom, more space to run, to get her looking forward to it/ into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-did-it-take-your-kids-to-adjust-to-a-new-home#post-2392103 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 11:02:20 +0000 winniebee 2392103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are moving to our new home on 12/27. We've prepared T pretty well, I think, and he seems to understand what is happening. But, he's 3.5 so who knows. R is only 1 and doesn't have a clue....</p> <p>I'm wondering how long it will take them to adjust to the new home? I'm guessing sleep will be gross for a week or two. We have moved twice with T already and I recall that it was a week or so adjustment each time (he was 14 months and then 27 months when we moved). </p>
