DD will be 28 months when LO #2 is born. For those of you with similar age gaps, did you move #1 to a big kid bed before the baby was born? How many weeks/ months? Did they regress at all?

We moved Chloe to a toddler bed this year. I blogged about it, but when we actually did it escapes me. She's 30m now and has been in this bed a few months, so..
We converted her crib partially because we already had the kit, but mostly because it was an easy solution. Buying a new bed and mattress was an expensive gamble we didn't want to take, and we already had tried to transition once before with no luck
This time, it stuck! Now we are working on getting her a "big bed".
She helped us pick out a crib for little sister this past weekend & she kept wrinkling her nose at them and saying, "momma, BABIES sleep in a crib! I'm a big girl!" so, hopefully no regression!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Thanks, that is actually a super smart way to do it! We also have the toddler bed kit so we can just try that first and if it goes awful switch it back to a crib, and if it goes well buy a twin bed. So smart you are!
-
@MrsTiger: ha, thanks! We planned on this baby using the same crib, but decided against it. I guess we didn't HAVE to transition her, but she's 2.5 and doing great in the toddler bed.

We did when she was 2, lo #2 was born 6 months later. I wanted to spread all the change out so it didn't all happen at once. by the time the baby came she didn't even remember sleeping in the crib.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Yea, our crib for DD #1 was super cheap but I didn't even think of buying a second one so she could sleep in hers as a toddler bed.. Duh! It's definitely worth it to me if she stays a good sleeper, I do not want to rock the boat!

We're not unless she decides to climb out before then. We'll probably switch when #2 is a few months old.

My son is 30 months and still in his crib. He shows no signs of trying to climb out and I will keep him in there as long as he is interested. Otherwise I think we will have a nightmare for naps and bedtime and I'm just not up for that battle in addition to having a newborn. We bought another crib and mattress for #2.
-
Nope we waited until he was climbing out of the crib which was age 3.
We buy convertible cribs so I needed one for DD anyway - so we moved DS and his crib to the other bedroom - about 6 months later he moved to a big bed

My LOs are 2.5 yrs apart. My LO1 hated the crib so she was on a floor bed for awhile. A couple months after I found out I was pregnant we got her a full bed and put up guardrails that works wonderfully. She loves her bed.

26 months apart- and no way! My oldest has slept great in the crib, so we have the newborn in a pack and play for now. It works well for nursing since he's right next to the bed. We are starting the transition soon because our oldest is starting to look for escape routes, but I was going to take full advantage of good sleep while I could and make the switch when I was already missing sleep.
We did have regression in so many things for about 6 weeks until he settled back down again, we didn't change beds or potty train for that reason.

Same age gap. Transitioned him to a twin a few months before baby came so we could reuse the crib. So he was 25 months. Zero issues! We just talked it up a lot, kept the rest of the routine the same, etc.
