what age did you transition DC out of crib??

Alyssa is just about 14 mths. She doesnt sleep well in her crib - but she will sleep excellent on a couch, twin bed, in our king bed, anywhere else but her crib. Im thinking 14 mths is waay too young to take her out of the crib.

wondering how old your DC was when you took them out of their crib? anyone do it really young? and what did they go into? toddler bed/convertible crib or a regular twin bed?

any input?

Thanks Ladies

Patrick was over 3 & still in the crib. He loved it & who was I to tell him he needed a big bed?

Julia is 2 and still is co-sleeping with us! we got her a toddler bed that is right next to our bed, and when she falls asleep I will put her in her new bed, but she wakes up every 3 or 4 hours to come into my bed again.....

ds was out of his crib by 19mos only because once he learned how to climb out there was no stopping him. Now he refuses to sleep in his toddler bed or even my bed, he loves the couch for some odd reason.

2 and 1/2

I just switched DS at 18 months. I don't want to jinx it, but one night he went in and now he loves going to bed I felt confident that he could get himself out if need be safely. The only danger is that he is a restless sleeper and I basically have made a crib out of pillows to keep him in (even with the guard- there are also gaps between the mattress/wall and mattress/headboard)

We are having a problem with the crib too always have. DD just climbed out of the PNP so Im worried about the crib next. I have put a blow up matterss on the floor and I lay there until she goes to bed then leave and when she wakes up I go back in and lay down till she falls back asleep.. At least shes not in my bed, neither am I totally but DH is reallyagainst the bed thing so... It may work for others but he is so scared of crushing her. I think she is too young 19 monthsfor a toddler bed and to be free in her room so this will do for now..
