I put them to bed at 7:30 (a little over an hour ago) after a relaxing routine. The 3 year old will not go to sleep. At first he (the younger) kept getting up and talking, and then he used his stuffed animals as his toys so I took them away. I put him to bed every time no talking just pick him up and back. The older one is better. The younger kept playing with his feet and pretending he was a robot, but I would come back in, lay his feet down, and put his blanket on top of him. Now the younger is just whispering but the older isn't talking. Should I let him until he just falls asleep or address it and risk starting something again? Thanks!


Answer
The kid I sit for mumbles as she goes to sleep. I would let them do whatever as long as it's calm and they are in their beds. Leave them alone like that for 30 minutes and then check. Good luck!

When did you move your LO to a toddler or regular size bed?

With our first he went to a toddler bed when he was almost 3 years old. We moved in to a new house and decided -new house, new bed-

Our LO is 18 months old and tonight was VERY close to jumping ship out of his crib. I never had this problem with our first.

I am up for tips and suggestions. He has a 4 step convertible crib right now.



Answer
My kids are both top of the charts for height. At 15 months, my son was too tall for his crib. We took out his mattress and put it directly on the floor. We felt a little badly about it, but he just wasn't big enough for a toddler bed and may have hurt himself if he fell out.

Since then, we have found out that tons of parents do this before transitioning to a toddler bed.

Our son absolutely loved it as we had some safe toys and books, plus his cup of water. He would wait until we left the room, hop out of bed and read himself to a drowsy stage before climbing into his bed and falling asleep.
