In reply to Kiersten. Hi @Kiersten - Thank you for writing to us, and congrats on the upcoming arrival of baby #2! Our general recommendations are to wait on the transition as long as you are able to, and as long as the crib is still safe of course! If you are able to get another crib for baby #2, they can both be in cribs and there's nothing wrong with waiting - assuming that your daughter is sleeping well in her crib! If you are potty training at night and during the day, a bed will certainly be easier to accommodate late-night potty runs, but you may work on daytime potty training first and nights won't be an issue yet? I hope that things with the move and with the new sibling go well! if you find that you'd like any help with any of sleep speedbumps at any time, please contact us! We're here to help!

My daughter will be 2 in January and is very small, only 24lbs, so she can’t climb out of her crib. We are due with baby #2 when she will be 28 months. We also move when she’s 25 months ????? Should I do the transition after the move, wait till baby is here, or wait until she’s trying to get out of the crib? We are also planning on potty training around 25mo so I’m assuming switch at that time? She’s just so small I font know how to tell when she’s ready. Any advice is appreciated.

Just transitioned my daughter from the crib to the bed (by taking the bars off the side). She’s a bit of an accidental gymnast and doesn’t seem to have any fear of heights, which precipitated the change.

We tried once before but had to put the bars back on when she would stand at the baby gate at the top of the stairs and stare at us eating in the kitchen, making incoherent comments, presumably about our food.

First night has gone ok. Very much hoping it stays that way as her baby sister is 2 months old and we’re not getting much sleep anyway.

In reply to Heather. My son is about 3.5 also and still sleeps in his crib. We are also working on potty training. He very small for his age and has never attempted to climb out of his crib either, but we are going to start transitioning him to a bed soon. His crib turns into a toddler bed so if it doesn’t work out then we will just put the rails back on. I don’t feel he is behind, I just feel he will be ready when he is ready. I’m in no hurry for him to grow up..lol
