The best advice I can give you is get a bed guard! She will fall out and although she'll probably stay asleep on the floor, you'll be up and down all night! C's cot was a cot bed so we just converted it, but if you don't have that I'd just got for a normal bed and get a guard, she'll be in it long enough! <br /><br />They look so tiny in the big beds, but they love it! OH! and don't waste money on cot bed quilts if you do get a small bed, pointless!! <br /><br />XKatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948900932768378724.post-21670839527013669892011-03-09T17:53:41.536+00:002011-03-09T17:53:41.536+00:00Both of mine were in beds before 18 months so I fe...Both of mine were in beds before 18 months so I feel your pain! We got V a full size bed with storage underneath. It was quite high off the floor so he had a bed guard for the first year or so and he's still in that bed now. With F, we got her this bed:<br /><br />http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/S99827959<br /><br />She has a smaller room so we needed something not too chunky. It's great as we currently have it on the smallest setting and there's no need for an additional guard. <br /><br />I wouldn't bother going down the toddler bed route (although, I agree, they are very sweet!) as I think it's just a waste of time and money.<br /><br />A gate on the bedroom door is an essential even though we don't have them anywhere else in the house, not even on the stairs, but I don't want to be disturbed by a sleep-walking toddler at 3am. It's bad enough that I get disturbed by a sleep-walking 5 year old at 4am....<br /><br />PS - My two have both slept much better in their beds than they ever did in their cots. Maybe they dig the extra room??HannahSamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948900932768378724.post-54443235633052032712011-03-09T14:12:49.914+00:002011-03-09T14:12:49.914+00:00Great tips, I've got the drawer locks on their...Great tips, I've got the drawer locks on their way as we speak.<br /><br />I'm hoping she will be good at the staying in bed as we have bedtime nailed at the moment she is happy to lay down awake and drift off.<br /><br />Scary changing things though, hope we don't go back to square one!mumrablognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948900932768378724.post-78940972097481335902011-03-09T14:09:34.202+00:002011-03-09T14:09:34.202+00:00My biggest positive on the big beds is using them ...My biggest positive on the big beds is using them for adults ie: us or guests occasionally which would be really useful.mumrablognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948900932768378724.post-54635245136861499612011-03-09T14:08:02.654+00:002011-03-09T14:08:02.654+00:00I guess my advice is:

Definitely on the stair gates (we put ours on the stairs and not on her door)<br />3. Follow the Jo Frost method early on of returning her to bed. It took the little one a while to realise she could "escape" but once she did the Jo Frost Supernanny method was very effective. (although I did sometimes hold the door shut!). If you are too soft early on you will get more pain later.<br />4. We got a bed where we could lie in bed with her and read or lie with her to settle her. Some of the toddler beds are a bit weak for that. <br />5. It forced us to make sure her room was safe. Initially I locked (velcro) the drawers but she never took everything out of them. <br />That's it to start.The Moidererhttp://www.themoiderer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948900932768378724.post-36168127831676201232011-03-09T14:07:15.840+00:002011-03-09T14:07:15.840+00:00Yes I have looked at Ikea, think I need to go and ...Yes I have looked at Ikea, think I need to go and see them in the 'flesh' <br /><br />Thanks. xmumrablognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948900932768378724.post-46088255795409213272011-03-09T14:00:49.674+00:002011-03-09T14:00:49.674+00:00I would say get a normal bed, We had a cotbed and ...I would say get a normal bed, We had a cotbed and it was really uncomfortable for Thomas to sleep on. We didn't really use it as a bed for long as he didn't sleep at all well in it, so we ended up getting a single anyway.<br /><br />I have seen these things called Dream Tubes on Amazon which are like bed bumpers so little one doesn't fall out. They look like a good idea, so if you do go for a big bed early I would check them out.Toy Buzzhttp://twitter.com/ToybuzzUKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2948900932768378724.post-12252943529115348742011-03-09T14:00:37.870+00:002011-03-09T14:00:37.870+00:00Mine are lanky but never tried to climb out.

I got the extendible ones from Ikea and they are still going strong. In fact, it's not fully out yet even for Monkey who is 6 today. They are low down enough so that they don't feel too high up.
