My daughter has been in a floor bed since she came home from the NICU. We love it. Bonus for us, my husband has CP and walks with crutches so he couldn't lift her in/out of a crib. With the floor bed he's able to be on the floor and care for her without me!

That’s so wonderful! I am thinking about a floorbed since I am visually impaired. Knowing there’s nothing to worry about with my child’s sleeping situation that I could miss out on seeing since a baby monitor is not that practical for me, makes it even more appealing ;).

@foxomatic1 4 года назад

We've had our 1 year old on a floor mattress since he was 6 months, which made life soooo much easier as I could lie with him to nurse and read stories for naps and bed time. When he started crawling things got a bit more complicated, but after a few months we were stunned to see him on the baby monitor (once we moved him into his own room,) climbing off the bed to play in the middle of the night.... -and then back on to fall back asleep on his own!!!! Now in the mornings when he wakes up he comes into our bedroom to get us rather than having to cry from a crib. It's amazing. I still haven't figured out how to put him down without nursing / lying with him until he falls asleep, but after watching this video I'm motivated to try "le pause" :) Thanks!

@shannonperez3779 4 года назад

i love the idea of a floor bed and my husband saw in one of your vlogs that both of your kiddos use them. he was so surprised! i tried to stay cool and nonchalant and was like “yea, some Montessori families use floor beds!” and he was SOLD. heck yes:)

@opalwreck 4 года назад

I did a student placement in a montissori nursery a couple of years ago, the preschoolers couldn’t play in a group but instead had to play on their own or with a partner. No activities could be mixed, stuff like putting blocks in a truck, or a car in a weighing scale. The independence is good sure but it seemed like they werent being independent rather being controlled in other ways.

@jasonrobertson9714 4 года назад

I'm keen to transition my 14month old into a floor bed. At current he will stand up and cry in the cot (I've only recently come to learn about Montessori) as soon as I leave the room. Also my partner or I will sleep on his floor in his room if he is having a rough night. I've been waiting ALOT of your videos and I think they are great!!! My worry is not being able to get him to sleep and not be able to get into the room if he is crying on the other side of the door. Thank you for your videos. I learned how to teach my little man to drink from a glass from you. Practical step by step instructions really help. Xxxx

@haileekroner6507 4 года назад

We shared a room with baby and wanted to floor bed so we surrounded baby’s bed with a large square baby gate with Montessori toys that where quite and safe and separated it with a small room divider so baby couldn’t see us!

@cpg86259 3 года назад

I feel like leaving a baby/toddler to cry for 5-10 minutes is an exorbitant amount of time and surely is a form of the ‘cry it out’ method. You hope eventually that they will learn to stop ‘needing’ you and just go to sleep. The reality is our children do need us, nothing wrong with encouraging independence but at your child’s own pace. If they are standing up crying for you for 5 minutes straight why not go in and give your child some love and support? They are so young and vulnerable but they will grow out of these things. Love your precious children and hold them close and hopefully when they grow older they will want to stay close. Push them towards ‘independence’ and don’t be surprised when they are so independent they are not looking to you for love and guidance.

@sarahmcelwee7749 4 года назад

How do you handle kids who are used to sleeping on a floor bed when you travel and have to use a pack n play?

@HapaFamily 4 года назад

I would do the pack and play for safety reasons, because it’s pretty likely that the room will not be baby proofed and safe for exploration should they try to get out of bed. However, if the room is baby proofed at all, then you could consider setting up a small space somewhere on the floor!

@266shango 4 года назад

@jenniferchu7874 4 года назад

OMG!! I really need your help please! So glad that you uploaded this video as I’m so confused now! I was inspired by you to implement floor bed to my baby :) I love the whole idea! It was already a bit late when we started at when he was 6months (From sleeping in the same room, a cot bed just next to me). Which mean he can roll over and crawl around when we started, not a perfect time to introduce floor bed. We have our sleeping routine :close the curtain, and sleeping music, sign, say consistent phase, I leave the room. He used to suck dummy to soothe himself when he was a small baby. But now he refuses dummy, he bangs his head on things (floor/ pillow/cushion/ bed/ even people). Unlike what you suggested above, we don’t close the door during day naps, I just walk away and leaves the door open with the pressure gate locked. He sometimes cries for me or plays with himself before falling asleep. The main problem is, he just sleeps on the floor next the the gate / door. And I put a pillow next to the door, otherwise he just bangs his head on the floor until falling asleep. I transfer him back to his bed carefully (sometimes wakes him because of this) after he fell asleep next to the gate (we close the door at night after transferring him to bed). This is the reason why we don’t close the door as he only fall asleep behind the door, if we close it, it’s quite danger to open the door if he needs us or cries for us, just don’t want his fingers tripped between door and floor.... It has been three months, he is almost 9 months now. We are thinking ways to settle this. I thought of moving the floor bed to the door gate when it is his nap time....and just tried today before watching your video... but it seems super troublesome and it doesn’t work at night if we need to close the door. Day time still not too too bed, but at night, he may wake up to find mummy and crawl to the door and cries the house down. And we need to open the door super careful at 3:00am... avoid hurting his fingers...... I really need some advices from you, according to what you say, would you suggest just let my baby sleeps next to the gate as long as it is comfortable? Just afraid that it’s not heathy for baby sleeping on a cushion next to the door in long term... or should I close the door during the day naps as well so? Super helpless and confused and I’ve even thought of giving up floor bed. But when I saw him using his auto my to explore his room, I want to insist a little longer 😭 thanks so much if you are reading this super long comment!

@thuvang999 3 года назад

I have the exact same problem with my then 6 months old boy. I had to give up the floor bed after that and put him back into the crib. He is now 9 months and keeps holding on to the side of the crib to stand up every time I put him to bed. As he doesn't know how to lie down from standing up, he can't go back to sleep by himself. This is so hopeless.

@bcortes4060 3 года назад

I love the montessori independent play principals but I disagree that sleeping independently is a Montesorri independently. My daughter has a floor bed and I nurse and bedshare into toddlerhood. Eventually, when they are developmentally ready, they will sleep on their own. Some babies naturally are more inclined to sleep independently with only gentle prompting (not leaving child to cry alone) but some babies do not do well with this approach and I hope that other moms who have babies with higher sleep needs read this and feel comfortable bedsharing completely or partially in a floor bed while maintaining Montessori principles. Thank you for a no judgement zone.

@KNRK379 4 года назад

Largely based on this video, we did a floor bed for our toddler. We followed your tips, and mold still grew. We have original wood floors from '69, so it was possibly dormant in the wood. After doing more independent research (Which I wish I would have done prior to the floor bed) it's actually more unsafe to have the bed on the floor. More asthma issues (our son has asthma), more bugs (our son has had reocurring bug bites at night) and mold. So people, look into this stuff MUCH more on your own before just putting a mattress on the floor. I really wish I would have done MUCH more research into the health risks.

@PigOutOfThePoke 2 года назад

@malloryfaulkner8025 2 года назад

@@kaitlinmorgan7559 Well, if it is a spider, depending on the kind of spider we can't do much about it but regular cleaning. I mean.... it could suspend itself from a corner of the room no matter the height of the bed.

@MsKatastrophenBarbie Год назад

Could you explain if you are talking about general floor beds or just mattress directly on floor regarding the asthma aspect? We are renovating a room for little one, so no old carpets, no mattress on the floor but I thought of a low bedframe with slates for airflow. I have not yet read anything against a low bedframe so I might need a push in the direction of your research to widen the information if you would be willing to assist. Thank you for your time!

Do your kiddos know how to sleep in a pack n play when you travel? Also, for a 13 month old would you suggest starting the transition with naps, then adding in overnight sleep? Or just going with it all at the same time so there’s no bed confusion ? Lastly, what do you do about lights at night if your child gets up in a pitch black room? Thanks!!!

@doseelistenrepeat 3 года назад

I have a 3 month old baby I am intending on introducing to his floor bed for independent sleep somewhat soon, but he shares a room with my 33 month old toddler who is very active before bed. So far in his life, my 3 month old falls asleep fairly easy, sometimes effortlessly on my end. I am currently gradually weaning my toddler from wanting me next to him in order to fall asleep. My question to you is, how would I address the sleep training with both of them in the same room? I know you don't have personal experience but I would love to read some of your suggestions!

@FrugalTreeHugger Год назад

Do you know or could point me in the right direction for information about doing a floor bed with multiple kids in the same room? My toddler has been sleeping on a floor bed forever. Now I'm expecting baby #2, but both kids will share one room. Is a floor bed a feasible option for #2?

@philippapay4352 4 года назад

I totally see the advantage to babies and toddlers. Where do you read bedtime stories with them? How hard has this been on your back and knees? So glad you covered the possibility that they could fall asleep in an odd position and/or in an odd location. If they can breathe and do not look like they are in an unnatural position, I am all for letting them finish their sleeping.

@Elvaelvaku 4 года назад

Wow! This video comes the perfect time! We just sold out bed Today and debating if we should go with sprout-kid Montessori bed or ikea floor bed! I am wondering is Mia’s bed just twin size? Do you think it’s big enough? Also, do you have the pro and con comparison between these two beds? Thank you so much 😊

@HapaFamily 4 года назад

Mia’s bed is a twin size, yes. So is Kylie’s. And it’s the perfect size, imo! Both beds are great, but I would say if your child is a very active sleeper and rolls a lot, the IKEA bed without the slats makes it impossible for them to roll out. Which really helps. Mia is not a very active sleeper and generally stays in one position, so the Sprout bed works really well because the number of times she’s rolled out has not been that many. Also, with the IKEA bed, because the mattress is directly on the floor, you’ll have to prop it up to air it out. If you don’t want to deal with that, then you might want to go to Sprout bed route, because it is elevated with wooden slats ever so slightly.

@Elvaelvaku 4 года назад

Hapa Family thank you Ashley!

@buzzi2k 3 года назад

With the Kura bed hack I understand that you just don't install the slats in order that the mattress sit lower down. It's it possible to place the slats on the floor between the mattress and bed so there's a little airing?

@lilstars5599 2 года назад

Interesting. I had my own mattress on the floor with my 1st. It led to croup, so with number 3 the lowest bedframe I can get in queen size. My babies have all slept in my bed or in my room. The things I have been able to attend to by instinctively waking up, coughing fits, sleepy vomits, makes me absolutely terrified of babies sleeping in their own room. Just wanted to put it out there that you can bed share on a floor bed. Our babies are mammals. I'm on board with everything else Montessori I've learned on your channel. But babies sleeping in their own room is a SIDs risk. Most midwives and MCHnurses are reluctant to change their in built beliefs about bed sharing and room sharing. But if you look properly in the details for safe sleeping now, you'll find all the recommendations have been changed. Mammal babies do not need to be independent sleepers. And of ours taken further to cry it out, "sleep training" out puts baby into a trauma response. They stop crying eventually because their nervous system is in freeze mode. Fight, flight and freeze. This was explained to me by 2 different trauma specialists.

@angeliquedevries898 2 года назад

We did the same thing, as soon as our oldest could crawl we would place our matras on the floor. By the time she New how to climb of a little step, we would use a litte step next to our normal bed and she would climb out of bed using the step. I would do the same thing with our youngest. Our oldest is never been sleep trained, and knows how to fall asleep on her own, it is a matter of trust and knowing that mommy and daddy are there and that they are safe

She is not fussing or crying or wanting out of bed, she seems to like a little alone time! She has always been a baby I can just lay her down at bedtime and she falls asleep on her own. She has been that way since about 2 weeks old.

Hi 💛 love your videos. Inspired me to put my boy in a floor bed at 3 months. It started off great. When he started moving he’d get up and play with his toys happily. But now, nearly every wake time he cries and sits by the door to come out. Night or day. Sometimes I think it’s because he’s been quietly awake and then gets upset no one found him already.. At night he’s still breastfeed and wakes sometimes 5 times. And sits by the door and cries. Do you have any advice for this? He can self-soothe, sometimes I know he’s woken by falls back to sleep. Thanks in advance

Will the floor beds work for kids that will attend daycare? Or is this confusing or frustrating for them?

When you leave the room, do you leave a nightlight on?

@hayleyfreeman7715 4 года назад

How do you handle getting through the night when you have such a small baby (3-12 months) in a separate room with the door closed. They will have to nurse, what if you don’t hear them or wake up when they need you? Do you use a monitor?

@daniellegore1977 3 года назад

Is it safe if their room is completely black? I am just worried about them crawling around while the room is pitch black. Is your baby’s room not blacked out? Would love to know your experience!

Can anyone recommend a floor bed frame that comes in a size to fit twin XL mattress?

@GingaByteTV 4 года назад

I’m not sure about that, but I just converted my ikea crib/toddler bed into a floor bed by assembling it upside down and securing the toddler rail with an extra screw

@jenikamecham3146 3 года назад

Ashley, what if my girls are sharing a room? I’d hate for my toddler to accidentally smother the newborn trying to help her put on a blanket or something since she wouldn’t be protected by crib bars?

@vmarie4371 4 года назад

from 6-11 months my lo would crawl out of bed and sleep on her carpeted floor mostly by the door. we used to pick her up and tell her that the bed is for sleeping. but then it became repetitive every single that we would have to pick her up 3 times to put her back in her bed so we stopped doing that and just let her sleep on the floor. we’d usually wait for 30 mins making sure she’s asleep then we go in, pick her up and put her back to her bed. eventually at 12months old she’d still crawl out of bed but learned to put herself back to bed whenever she’d feel falling asleep. she just naturally grasp the idea of bed.

@saraipiano5764 3 года назад

What options are there for a floor bed setup if there is a steam radiator in the room? (Old house with a radiator in every room). Is it still doable? Any other resources that might point me in the right direction?

@lilobutt625 4 года назад

I thought babies weren’t supposed to sleep on their stomachs? I’m confused. Not judging just confused

@HapaFamily 4 года назад

Baby should always be put to sleep on their backs. But they can sleep on their stomachs once they roll over to it totally on their own (which both of mine always started doing around 4 to 5 months). And my baby in the thumbnail is 11 months old now, so it is most certainly safe at this point! :)

@odileidysbasanta 4 года назад

I had the same fear... My baby started to roll over and sleep on his belly at 8 or 9 months old and I was terrified, because I read that the precautions to avoid (don't know how to say it in English) "síndrome de muerte súbita del lactante", including sleep on their backs, should continue until at least 1 year old... But, once they're mobile there is nothing you can do to avoid it...

@minitwink16 4 года назад

My baby is 3 months and rolls from back to front. She started turning in her sleep onto her stomach at 2 months. This was scary for me since I coslept and had a pillow under us. She sleeps both on her belly and back now. Also, the independent sleep video really helped her sleep on her back and front. One thing that is consistent with us is that even if I'm in the room, she will have to sleep on her own.

@k_rosie4073 3 года назад

I have a question about newborns and sleeping situations! We definitely want to do the floor bed once they are ready to transition to it, but right when they are first born do you recommend using a bassinet in our bedroom or is there another sleep option?.. and also what is your thoughts on play yards for when we are going to the grandparents house for the day or even sleeping somewhere other than our own home? What is the best and also safest option for those times??

@choosnau 4 года назад

I'm very interested but when I mentioned it to my partner, he said its dangerous 😭 I know he just needs more information about the subject but now I'm second guessing it.

@choosnau 4 года назад

@tolo nola I'm still pregnant so there is a lot of room for discussion. We have a 4 year old that was brought up in a crib so I think he is more comfortable with that

@HapaFamily 4 года назад

I agree with what Tolo Nola said regarding the safety concerns. And you should certainly wait until you’re comfortable with the idea, so as to ensure success for your child. If you’re anxious about it, they may very well pick up on those feelings and a transition may not go as planned. I know that I was anxious both times, but I just chose to dive in and baby proof to the best of my ability, and watch my video baby monitor like a hawk. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! 😜

@OhItsJustAspen 4 года назад

I love your approach to educating parents. You have such a zero-judgement attitude and always try to offer suggestions for every budget, style, and ability that various parents may have. Did you have a particular bassinet or other sleep apparatus for the newborn stage that you really liked?

@HapaFamily 4 года назад

Thanks! 🥰 We used a Halo Bassinest with Mia, and it was great! I loved being able to see her at my eye level through the mesh from my own bed, without having to get up if she made a noise but was still sleeping.

@كاتيكاتي-ز8ج 4 года назад

we currently don't have the ability to set up a completely safe space for my son to explore on his own, so he's been in a crib his whole life. sometime within the next few months, we're moving to a new house and I plan on not even taking the crib with us and just going straight to a floor bed. but I'm concerned that there will be a lot of fight at naps and bedtime because he's almost a year old already. he's an incredible sleeper at this point and I don't want to ruin that 😭😭 anyone else have experience with/tips for transitioning to the floor bed a bit later in life?

@joannestark3023 3 года назад

I'm late with this comment, but if he's comfortable on the crib mattress, bring that and use it as a floor bed so he's got something familiar to sleep on. New house, new everything can be overwhelming for little ones.'

@Data90 4 года назад

I have been wanting to try to the Montessori method with my 19 month old. We did use a crib till she was starting to climb out of it and I got a Frozen 2 bed that is a floor bed. I thought it was easier than getting a bed that sits higher up. They do make character beds like my daughter's frozen bed that are around $30 to $60. We didn't have a lot of money at the time so that was our best option.

How is “the pause” different from the graduated extinction method by Dr. Ferber?

It doesn’t really ever “graduate” in length. They are not left to cry for long periods of time.

But he’s very fascinated by baseboard and try to go closer to the wall. He bumped his head a few times. So is there any product available to provide a cushion or something? Thank you. Appreciate your help.

@Emrousse771 Год назад

I just transitionned my 13mo from a crib to a floor bed 4 days ago. She is able to fall asleep on her own since she was about 5-6 months old, but since we transitionned to a floor bed, she has a hard time... Usually, it takes her 5-10min to fall asleep in her crib, even for naps. Yesterday, it took her 1h40. I let her stay in her room and she fell asleep on the wooden floor. I put her down for her nap at the same time as usual and did the same routine. Is it normal? Should I stay with her as she falls asleep? And if I do so, will she lose her ability to fall asleep on her own?

@hannacamacho Год назад

Hi! I hope you will see my question but I know this is a 2yrs old vid haha Anyways, I have a 4-5month old baby boy and he is as active as a baby his age can be! I can’t let him unsupervised on his own if he is not sleeping because he starts to move around his crib and hitting his head and having his arm fall out.. so I would love to put him into a floor bed but I am afraid he would fall out every time based on how mobile he is. Those bumpers are nothing in his case I am afraid, and I fear him getting hurt what should I do? If he falls out he can’t even go back on his own due to his size and age Thank u x

@Mother_ease 3 года назад

Did your 6inch mattresses arrive rolled up? I’m trying to get a thin mattress but they all are rollable and I wonder how supportive and resilient they are if they can be rolled up. Especially when ideally it’ll grow with your child for probably a decade. Otherwise I’d be going with an 8 inch mattress which they say can’t be rolled up but seems so much taller

@eg6572 4 года назад

My 18m old daughter was crib sleeping, but last night was the first night in her floor bed. She has never used a night light, has had a pitch black room, but what do I do now that she can get up an explore!? She wants to go straight to the door when I leave and cry and stumble back around the room. I don't want to let her run into walls etc.

@vitanazare5896 2 года назад

Well as good is that they might get sleepy enough staying awake for maximum hours awake for they age most of kids/babies/toddlers will get hyper opposite of adult even you past 5 minutes over their maximum awake time, unless they are under fed or something. and then can run after them for next 3-4 hour with no chance to get them sleep. So it might not be the best suggestion to keep them to their maximum awake time as even they hit that age every child is different. my daughter had lot of awake time real early as she slept through nights really young yet other babies were not sleeping through nights and was sleeping most of the day as well

We have 2 kids 19 mo apart, one is on a floor mat already and the other is in a crib - they share a room. Any tips on transitioning the one in the crib to a floor bed with her sibling in the same room? Thank you!!!!

@jenniferhunt6396 4 года назад

We have a one bedroom apartment and I find it really challenging to apply the Montessori method to our small space for sleeping arrangements. Our bedroom is tiny, barely room for a queen sized bed and a crib. We have another kid on the way, too. I have no idea how I'm going to manage two kids and no bedrooms for them. Moving into a bigger space is too expensive for us at this point.

@dopeydope 4 года назад

Watch the Montessori in small spaces. I actually think the concept of a smaller crib bed on the floor might work.
