Toddler Bed is the best

As most of you know I have been having trouble with marissa sleeping in her crib she would fall asleep with me in the bed then I would put her in the crib and she would always wake up in the middle of the nite wanting out and no matter what I tried she would notgo back to sleep unless I put her in my bed and then she would pass out.

Well last nite we converted her crib to a toddler bed and even though I still have to lay in bed with her for her to go to sleep I don't lay in my bed I lay in the guest bed now then when she was alseep I put her in her bed she did wake up at around 1:30am I went in her room and gave her a pacifier and she layed back down and I sat on the floor next to the bed and she went back to sleep this happend again at around 5:30am but I think its just that she needs to get used to her bed. At least she stayed in her bed and didn't want to get out. I am so happy to finally have my bed back

Yay great news for you!!!

That is so great! It sounded like she was ready for her toddler bed and seriously it is SUCH a good thing that she pretty much made the transition herself to a "Big girl bed" -- some kids have a really hard time with that even when they've outgrown the crib.

What if you tried sitting on the floor beside her or getting yourself a bean bag or big throw pillows so you could sit beside her every night and read books to her while she layed in her bed -- maybe wiht the big girl bed could come a new big girl bedtime routine that might help her to fall esleep in there a bit better and stay esleep through the night.
