Knowing when to put a toddler in a bed can feel tricky, and perhaps daunting for some parents, especially if sleep has been an issue and there are concerns about how the change will affect nighttimes.
Knowing your child is safe and secure asleep in a cot is very comforting so it’s natural to worry when the time comes for the cot bed to be replaced. You might have visions of your toddler getting out and wandering around the house at night, falling down the stairs - trust us when we say you are not alone with these fears. Or you might be worried about them refusing to stay in the bed which could lead to frustrating bedtimes, disrupted sleep for the whole family and you wondering how on earth you now get this baby to sleep.
