From cot to bed what age??

We only moved Michaela a couple of months ago, I guess she would have been 22mo. We probably should have moved her at about 20mo because she was waking herself baging against her cot.

While she gets used to a bigger bed you might need to sit in the room (on the floor next to her bed) to ensure she stays tucked in. You could also try closing the door behind you as you leave if it doesn't upset her too much.

She probably thinks being in a big girls bed is a great novelty so if you are going to keep her in it you'll need to teach her it's for sleeping in, not playing in.

My daughter moved to a big bed at 11 months old, but we use a snug sheet with it so there's no way she could get out. She's still using the snug sheet.

We tried at about 15 months and it worked for a week and then DD did a week of what your girl is doing - getting out as soon as she hit the sheets! It was exhausting and she only ever stayed in there when she was completely knackered. We ended up putting up the portacot in her room next to her bed for a month or two, so we took down her cot and she slept in the portacot quite happily. During the day etc. she played on the bed and pretended to 'sleep' in it - got used to the idea, I guess. Three nights ago we decided to try again, with the aid of a safety rail on the bed (from Baby Factory but there are heaps on TM too). She's been sweet so far, I think she just needed that extra time. Good luck!
