17 month old and climbing out of crib
« on: December 05, 2008, 14:17:21 pm »
My dd is 17 months and has started climbing or diving out of her crib.  Since we don't have a big bed for her yet, last night we lowered the bars on the crib and put pillows below her.  She climbed out and she wanted out of her room, of course. She ended up crying and falling asleep on the pillows.  We probably won't be getting a mattress for a couple of weeks.  Does anyone have a better way of helping her transition through this process?  She would rather do anything but sleep.

DD was moved into a bed at 18 mos for that very reason.  Could you try a crib tent?  I have heard it mentioned a few times.
