at what age from cot to bed
« on: January 08, 2009, 10:29:58 am »
At what age would you recommend a child going in to a cot by.  My twins are three next month and they are still in cots, they still sleep so well in them and don;'t try and climb out of them but I am not sure if I should just put them in to beds because of their age.  What age would you say not to leave it any later than?

I am not sure as my DS will be 3 Feb and is still in his crib.  He doesn't crawl out either and since we have a newborn, I don't want to introduce anything that will cause him to interrupt our sleep

Very much depends on the child(ren), imo.

I waited until ds had literally outgrown his cot, as I thought 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. So, he's only been in the big boy bed for about 3 months now.

Would going into big beds disturb their sleep at all? Would they wake each other up? Wonder round their room at night? If not, then go for it, but if you are worried, then I would leave it for a bit. I don't think their are any 'rules' about when they 'should' be out of the cot (just before they go to university ;))

I was going to keep Masyn in her crib until she hit the height limit, but she was starting to figure out how to climb out. I would say keep them in unless they try to climb out or exceed the height limit. She took the transition just fine and is very excited about her "new" bed (it is really just the crib converted to a daybed....)

What if they never climb out? then what should I do it sooner rather than later? I just don;t know if it will be hardier at they get older to move from cot to bed.  I love it that they are still in their cot but so many people say shouldn;t they be in a bed by now which makes me think otherwise
