To transition your child from a crib to a bed:
- Timing is Important: Wait until your child shows signs of readiness, typically around 2 to 3 years old.
- Involve Your Child: Let your child choose their new bed or bedding to create excitement and ownership.
- Maintain Routine: Keep bedtime routines consistent to provide comfort and security during the transition.
- Use Bed Rails: Consider using bed rails to prevent falls during the initial phase.
- Offer Reassurance: Provide lots of encouragement and reassurance as your child adjusts to the new sleeping arrangement.
