Transitioning to a toddler bed
So it’s time for a toddler bed!
If you have decided that your toddler is ready to move to a toddler bed from a cot, having a specific plan in place truly is the key to success.
I see so many parents wing this transition with no guidance. The thing is, without a proper plan for this big transition parents more often than not end up with a host of sleep problems they didn't have before.
This guide will give you the confidence to make the change with no long term sleep problems that you can't get around swiftly!
This guide is for you if:
✩ You have an independent sleeper who is ready to transition from cot to bed
✩ Your toddler is at least 2 years old
✩ You want clear guidance to make the transition as seamless as possible
It covers:
✩ Toddler sleep problems
✩ A step by step preparation guide
✩ Room safety checklist
✩ Toddler bed transition shopping list
✩ Rewards chart
✩ 4 methods to address the transition
✩ Strategies to deal with nightmares and nighttime fears
Every toddler is going to respond to this transition differently. It is really important to follow your instincts and the knowledge you have of your child and how they respond to new situations. Some children will need more support and others will handle the change really easily and adjust quickly.
We aim for this transition to take between 1-2 weeks.
*This guide does not include any sleep coaching methods. It has been designed for toddlers who are able to sleep independently. If your toddler cannot yet fall asleep independently or is co-sleeping, start with the Halcyon Sleep Coaching Course: 19 Months - 4 Years.
