your child's sleeping environment when
there are other major events going on.
Moving to a new home or welcoming a new
baby into the house can be stressful. Wait
until later to move to the bed.
• Stick to the same pre-sleep routine.
Children are creatures of habit and like to
know what is coming next. Therefore, stick
to the same routine around bedtime so that
all will feel familiar. This may include reading
a story, brushing teeth, and putting on
pajamas, straightening up the room, or
singing a lullaby together.
• Choose the transition type that
works for your family. Some parents
choose to leave the crib up and slowly transition
to the bed. For example, parents may let
the child nap in the bed throughout the day
and sleep in the crib at night. Still, some parents
prefer the out-of-sight, out-of-mind
method of taking apart the crib and making
the bed the sole option for sleeping. Gauge
your child's reaction to the bed and select the
option that you think will work. And remember,
if the crib is still safe and comfortable
for your child, there is no rush in switching
to a bed. Just like other milestones in a kid's
life, this one is reached when the child is
ready.
Parents should also avoid letting their children
sleep in Mom and Dad's bed. This promotes
a habit that will be hard to break
down the line. Although the first few nights
of the new bed may be hard for your child,
with time he or she will grow comfortable
with his or her new sleeping arrangements.
Is she ready to move out
of the crib into a bed?
