She's been sleeping in her full sized bed since two and a half. She usually doesn't fall off, but when she does, she just climbs back in and doesn't remember :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-preschooler-off-of-bed-rails#post-2622388 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 20:20:04 +0000 travellingbee 2622388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the pool noodle advice, y'all! I think we're going to try this weekend. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-preschooler-off-of-bed-rails#post-2622297 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:24:40 +0000 Canoli 2622297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a pool noodle but sometimes it slips off the bed but I think it's pretty effective. You could probably roll up a towel too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-preschooler-off-of-bed-rails#post-2622295 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:22:53 +0000 travellingbee 2622295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: oh good point! That's what we need to train him to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-preschooler-off-of-bed-rails#post-2622293 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 19:22:14 +0000 MrsSRS 2622293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would put the pool noodle a third of the way into the bed so he gets used to not sleeping on the edge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-preschooler-off-of-bed-rails#post-2622229 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:35:53 +0000 Smurfette 2622229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try the pool noodle trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-preschooler-off-of-bed-rails#post-2622220 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:23:58 +0000 travellingbee 2622220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: Ah that is a good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-preschooler-off-of-bed-rails#post-2622218 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:22:38 +0000 Tanjowen 2622218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: I have a friend that put a pool noodle under the sheet to act as a small bumper. She said it was just enough where he didn't roll over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-preschooler-off-of-bed-rails#post-2622214 Thu, 15 Sep 2016 18:20:07 +0000 travellingbee 2622214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3.5 year old has a bed rail on one side of his queen size bed. The other side is against the wall. But those damn rails are such a pain! It is next to impossible to make the bed. So I'd like to get rid of them, and I know some kids don't even have them at his age, but he sleeps up against it! So I am not sure how to go about getting rid of them without injury and crappy sleep occurring! Any suggestions would be so welcome! </p>
