They are unlocked after he is asleep. He is usually woken from his nap, but he usually comes and finds me between 6:30 and 7:30 in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621271 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 10:34:30 +0000 erinbaderin 2621271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've spent the last few weeks sleep training him to stay in his new toddler bed. At some point every night he gets out of bed and goes back to sleep on the floor, and when he's done his nap he gets up and comes downstairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621239 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 09:58:59 +0000 kodybear 2621239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd is almost 4 and hasn't tried yet. I think it's more her personality tho. She is cautious so she always waits for us to get her. DS on the other hand is still in the crib for this reason. First chance he gets he'd probably jump off his bed and come out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621225 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 09:38:08 +0000 catlady 2621225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's only been in a toddler bed for less than a week, but right now, she gets out to use the potty and then gets right back in. When she's wants to come out of her room, she tries to open the door. We used to just let her open it (when she was in a crib) but since changing to the toddler bed, I added a thing to make the door hard to open so now she sometimes can open it but it delays her a bit. Her room is right at the top of the stairs and is on a different floor than ours, which is the only reason I'd like for her to stay in there (it's pretty dark when she gets up and I don't want her falling on the stairs). But it's funny, she actually still stays in bed while trying to open the door (the way she used to when it was a crib). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621216 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 09:28:10 +0000 avivoca 2621216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She actually waits for us to come and get her even though her bed is very low to the ground. It's glorious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621182 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:44:16 +0000 brownepiano 2621182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For 5 months after switching him to a floor bed, he didn't get out of bed. Then he got better at opening his door and we had a few nights of him getting up but it was inconsistent and not usually too early. We ordered an OK to wake clock. The clock can't right after his baby brother was born (at 27 months). He started getting out and really early too. We tried using the clock and being patient but it just kept getting worse. So we put a toddler cover on his doorknob. He learned how to open it in about 5 days. But then the summer humidity hit and his door got harder open. After a day or two realizing he couldn't get out his room, he's gone back to staying in be till we get him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621174 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:34:25 +0000 looch 2621174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never restricted my son, in fact, he has a little step stool at the foot of his full sized bed to get in and out of. It was important to me that he felt he could move around as needed. I also didn't require him to stay in his room, the door was never closed or locked, no gate either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621167 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:29:57 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2621167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is 2.5 too and we have her in the ikea loft bed (the kura?I think) and we put stairs on it so she can climb up and down. One nap time, due came out like 6 times. It was terrible. My DH ended up getting an ok to wake clock on his way home from work that day. It's worked out really well! This morning, she did come out before her light turned on and I had to explain she couldnt come out until the green light comes on because green means go. She was not happy to go back into her room, and she cried for a few min, but then settled down and read books. It's been a lifesaver. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621166 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:29:30 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2621166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They get out when they wake up.<br /> They're allowed to get out before bed as long as they stay in their room.<br /> DD1 will stay in her room even if the for is open, but Dd2 (20 mo) needs a closed door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621165 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:28:35 +0000 josina 2621165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 2 in a toddler bed, he goes to bed fine, but is in our bed as soon as he wakes up, usually before midnight. Not ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621164 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:28:34 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2621164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part. She gets up a few times occasionally and naps have been refused on occasion now that she can get up but it's not too bad anymore. We did struggle for a few months at first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-lo-can-get-out-of-their-bed#post-2621162 Wed, 14 Sep 2016 08:18:48 +0000 Bao 2621162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do they? LO2 is 2.5 and has a twin bed, but it's pretty high up and we have a guard rail on it. She could get down when her stool would be there, but this morning she got down without it and came out. I may or may not have swore under my breath. We struggled for over a year getting our oldest to stay in her bed, so I am NOT looking forward to this. </p> <p>If your LO can get out of their bed, do they? Or do they stay put when it's time to sleep? I'm mostly worried for nap time now. </p>
