First Bed After Crib

My personal recommendation is to start by removing a side of the crib if that s possible with your particular model to get them acclimated to sleeping without the confines of a crib but without making the transition seem so drastic and then moving them straight to a twin bed.

But it s best not to react to climbing out of the crib or any other sudden sleep problem with a sense of alarm. A child s first bed the transition from the crib. The top of the crib rail should be above his collarbones. He may not be ready to move to a bed and it may not be safe for him to be up and about during the night when everyone else is asleep.

And always have a soft rug or carpeting on the floor of the room with a nonslip under mat because falls from that height can result in serious injuries. After the first birthday it s wise to put the mattress all the way down and make sure your tot doesn t have toys or bumpers to climb on. Most parents make a pretty big fuss over the whole ordeal even throwing the occasional party and snapping some photographs. With the recent crib tent recall parents are turning to other options to safely transition their child to a new sleep space.

The first step is to do all you can to establish an optimal sleep environment for your baby. Safety is the number one priority so remember that they need to be put to bed on their back on a firm.
