Is your toddler under the age of 3 and showing signs of climbing out of their cot during the night? 😫
We don’t recommend transitioning your toddler into a big bed until they are over* the age of 3. At this age, they begin to develop some* level of impulse control, making it easier for them to understand rules and boundaries, reducing the risk of wandering or sleep disruptions 😴
If, like us, your toddler is getting creative - There is one guaranteed way to KEEP them in their cot longer without the need to transition them to a big bed! 🥁
...
Drop their cot mattress rails to the floor! (Avoid placing the mattress directly* onto the floor, as it inhibits ventilation and traps moisture, increasing the risk of mold growth).
If your toddler is already in a big bed and you are experiencing bedtime battles, it is never too late to bring back their cot and try again when they’re a little older 🫶🏻🌸🩷
