Could we set up an open toddler bed and just raise the mattress a bit? Maybe to the second position available. I ask since a twin bed won’t fit in the room.
Hey!! Yes, of course!! That would definitely work given your space constraints! If you ever feel like you need more help, don't hesitate to reach out to support@littlezsleep.com! 💛 Becca
My wife decided to switch from the crib to floor bad but my son is 10 month old. The reason she decide to switch is she is worried about his neck being squished while he is sleeping sideways. What can you recommend in this case?
Hey there, Sergii! We do not recommend moving to a floor bed/open bed until 3 years old! That's because little ones do not understand the boundaries and expectations that come with staying in their open bed. It's so common for little ones to snuggle up to the sides of their crib and that's perfectly okay!
I'm so happy you shared this! Our tot is closing in on 18 months, and we are getting close to those next big milestones- potty training and a big kid bed. You were a lifesaver when she was 4 months and I sleep trained her with ease. Our little never slept in a crib, we opted for a pack n play. Do you think a pack n play will hold her until 3? Its rated up to 30 inches, and she's close to 24 already.
Hey there! She may be able to stay in the pack n play the whole time. You could also look into a larger pack n play like the Guave Lotus or Joovy Room!
My 20 mth old is tall for his age and he jumped out of his crib (on the lowest setting and while in a sleep sack) the other night. This threw in a big wrench into our peace of mind at night. Fortunately, I was able to modify his crib and take out the spring so it lowered him a few inches. I believe this bought us a few weeks maybe but I dont think it will prohibit him from getting out up till age 3. I looked online and bought a crib tent, havent used it yet but was wondering your thoughts? If you have any advice either i would love to hear it.
Your videos are so great! Wish i saw them sooner. So our son is 2,5 years old. And after seeing this video i now know we were too early with switching to a toddler bed. What do you recommend? It has been really exhausting. He’s still a awake at 10 pm. Keeps coming out of his bed. That i sometimes want to switch back to the crib. Or lay with him the entire time untill he falls a sleep.
Hey there, Bobbi! Thank you for those kind words, I'm so so glad to hear our videos have been helpful to you!! Could you please copy/paste your comment above to support@littlezsleep.com so that my team can provide you with the best guidance? We'd love to help you make sleep a thing for your little guy! 💛 Thank you!! Becca
Any suggestions or do you have a course for children with special needs? My son is 3 and autistic and the receptive language is not fully there yet. I don’t know how well he’s going to understand what’s going on and he isn’t yet able to have back and forth conversation. Likes he’s just starting to learn how to tell us that he’s hungry or thirsty. My worry is that he’s a tall boy and we have done just about everything we can to keep him in the crib like dropping the mattress down to the floor, using a sleep sack, etc. Do I just wait to see if he figures out one day how to climb out?
