We will introduce tonight. Any tips? The shell is harder than I expected - do kiddos sleep with it or better to keep on a shelf? </p> <p>While we have a video monitor I don't think we can talk to LO that way. But we live in a small space so I imagine talking thru the door will work. </p> <p>At 21 months will LO - who is very verbal- understand? </p> <p>@mrslion we have brought LO back to bed but only if we can get into the room. Sometimes the doorway is blocked :/ </p> <p>Thanks all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-that-sleep-on-floor-beds#post-2037155 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:34:59 +0000 Mamaof2 2037155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in a floor bed but I do what @prettylizy: does. I can see her getting out of bed and would yell upstairs "Get back in bed"</p> <p>Sometimes she would cry but she stayed in bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-that-sleep-on-floor-beds#post-2037145 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:32:11 +0000 blackbird 2037145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried a floor bed a few nights while E was sick, and she just got up and opened the door and walked into the hallway, LOL . We won't be doing a floor bed again until she's older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-that-sleep-on-floor-beds#post-2037132 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:20:58 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2037132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just let him fall asleep at the door and then we wait 20 minutes until he was good and asleep and then move him to his bed. He did this for 2ish months. Just this week he started staying in his bed to fall asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-that-sleep-on-floor-beds#post-2037126 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:17:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2037126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can you get something special for bedtime like the constellation turtle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-that-sleep-on-floor-beds#post-2037120 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:13:50 +0000 edelweiss 2037120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when we first switched to a toddler bed (no rail), LO kept getting out and crying at the door. one night i sat in the room and kept putting him back in the bed every time he came out. i didn't say anything to him or engage with him, just calmly put him back in the bed. this happened at least 20-30 times. it was tiring, but after that he generally got the picture (yes he did come out a few times, but mostly stays in bed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-that-sleep-on-floor-beds#post-2036836 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 22:23:32 +0000 prettylizy 2036836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO did the exact same thing. We used our video monitor with two way communication and every time she sat up and started to leave her bed we'd talk through the monitor and tell her to lay down. Three nights and it was cured </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddlers-that-sleep-on-floor-beds#post-2036726 Thu, 22 Jan 2015 21:15:57 +0000 Munchkin 2036726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is 21 months. Sleeping on a full sized floor bed for 5 months. LO cries when we leave the room at nap and bedtime (we are working on this) and has been falling asleep in front of the door. But she sleeps better when she stays in bed ( of course!) Advice? </p>
