No help on the transitioning but has she climbed out yet? My son 20 months climbs everything but he's never climbed out of the crib. I'm with you sleep is good now so I refuse to rock the boat until he climbs out

1. 25 months. She was starting to climb out. She never got all the way out cause we just happened to watching the monitor all the times.
2. Nope
3. Nothing has changed. She fights bedtime all the time. She does seem to wake up earlier but I think it was due to pooping early morning. Sleeping normal now.
4. Just talk up big girl bed. Get the rails so she won't roll out at night.
5. It honestly isn't bad. 90% of the time she stays in bed. The mornings are more likely she will get out. Then she stands by the door waiting on us.

@Pirouette: I forgot their were a couple nights she woke up in the MOTN for no reason. But I just put her back in bed and she went back to sleep.

1. How old was your lo when you transitioned? Right around 2 we actually moved him into a toddler bed, although he napped in a toddler bed 2x a week at grandmas for a few months prior to that. He was in the transitioned "toddler bed"/crib conversion thing since 18m.
2. Do you wish you had done it earlier/later? I think we did it at a good time.
3. Did you transition during a good or bad sleeping period? He's always been a good sleeper. I was also afraid of rocking the boat, but he was unphased.
4. Any tips for transitioning a 17 month old? Talk about it for a few weeks before doing it. Even if your LO isn't super verbal, they'll understand to a certain extent that something is going to change.
5. How bad was the newfound freedom? He didn't seem to notice, which I still find kinda funny. He's 27m now and has yet to EVER get out of the bed without us coming into the room. He will call and call for us and won't get up until we're standing right next to him. I'm not sure why, but it's pretty nice lol

we converted when she was 2. we co slept and I just couldn't do it anymore. She had some issues because she wanted to sleep with us, but I would stay with her until she fell asleep. She knew she could always come to our bed if she was scared but would get moved back when she fell asleep. She got use to it and now sleeps in her bed with no problem now. She is 2.5 so it too a little while for her to be okay

1. How old was your lo when you transitioned?
--2 1/2... 32ish months?

2. Do you wish you had done it earlier/later?
--Nope, it was perfect timing for us.

3. Did you transition during a good or bad sleeping period? --Good sleeping period, but we did it on vacation. I felt like she was too big to comfortably sleep in her PnP, so I put the twin mattress on the floor against the wall and had her sleep on it. She loved it! When we got home, we took off the front rail on her crib, so now she's in a toddler bed.

4. Any tips for transitioning a 17 month old?
--Oh man, that sounds rough. I guess I would wait until the last possible minute-- place some pillows or a mat on the floor in case she does climb out and falls.

5. How bad was the newfound freedom? I'm picturing her sleeping on her chair, the floor, reading all night, etc
--Char is actually really good. She's never gotten out of bed on her own (she will wait until we come in the morning or after her nap to get her), and she rolls around and talks to herself before falling asleep every night, just like when she was in her crib.

Although, we have been lucky because she's a very cautious kid. She's never tried to climb out of her crib, so we technically didn't need to transition her when we did.
