I fear the day this happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435861 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 09:41:50 +0000 tlcbaby 2435861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyTsMom: Well, the first night went just fine. He went right to sleep and when I woke up I could hear him in there so I walked in and he said, "I was just getting out of my bed!" So, we will see what happens tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435768 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 08:40:14 +0000 brownepiano 2435768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We switched DS to a floor bed at 22 months. It's been a month almost and he stays in bed almost all the time. I think DH has found him out of bed once! It was much less traumatic than I expected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435767 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 08:39:37 +0000 erinbaderin 2435767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son flipped out of the crib as well. He was not quite two and I was not quite ready to deal with a toddler bed transition, so I just took the cross pieces out of the bottom of the crib and now the mattress is on the floor within the 4 sides of the crib and he definitely isn't tall enough to get out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435734 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 07:58:08 +0000 knittylady 2435734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope last night was ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435631 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 23:46:25 +0000 BabyTsMom 2435631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: please post an update after a while! i'm so terrified of this transition lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435610 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:28:47 +0000 catomd00 2435610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: you are brave! I just turned to diligently watching the monitor lol. Good luck! Hope it's an easy transition! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435594 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 22:02:02 +0000 tlcbaby 2435594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: That is comforting. He played in his bed all day so I am pretty sure he knows he can get out. Fingers crossed!</p> <p>@catomd00: I thought about that, but then I was worried he might actually hurt himself next time, so we just went for it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435541 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 21:06:53 +0000 catomd00 2435541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 2 year old flipped herself out of her crib a month or so ago. I think it scared her so much she hasn't tried again! I was not getting rid of the crib lol. I figure if she does it again then I'll take her seriously! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435536 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 21:04:42 +0000 knittylady 2435536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to us a few weeks ago! We've been dealing with nightmares and separation anxiety sleep issues so the transition to big boy bed can't hold a candle to all that :bummed: but it didn't make it worse!</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435450 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 19:39:32 +0000 hellobeeboston 2435450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You know, when we first switched LO always stayed in bed and would sit there until I went to get him, it was funny, then one day he realized he could get out. We had a rough week or so, then rules were set and he knows he has to stay in bed, so hang in there. Could be a bit dicey for a few days then it should work out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-guess-its-time-for-a-big-boy-bed#post-2435442 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 19:29:19 +0000 tlcbaby 2435442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 2 1/2 and I could hear him kicking around in his crib for about an hour at nap time. I was trying to take a nap myself and all of a sudden I heard a loud thud and then screaming. Sure enough, he tried to climb out and did a flip out of his crib. I guess this is our cue to take the rails off and let him try a big boy bed. I am very nervous for what this night will bring. I have very low expectations that he will actually stay in his bed. </p>
