LO is 19m and we might have the beginnings of a crib-to-bed transition coming upon us. I think he's going through that 18 month sleep regression or something, and sometimes we've coped by laying down with him in the bed that's already in his room. He sleeps decently well in that bed, even if we leave. He will have to learn to sleep in that bed within the next 9 months due to LO#2 needing the crib by June/July.

Only hitch is we need him to sleep in a pack-n-play during travel in October & November, and to sleep in a pack-n-play in the playroom in February when my mom comes to stay for a bit. Hotel beds are too big and fluffy for a toddler his age, IMO.

In the initial 6-12 months after moving your toddler to a toddler bed or real bed, could they sleep in a crib if necessary?
