Sleep Tip 4 - toddlers and cots
The question is often asked - when do I move my toddler into a bed? The answer is - when they climb out of their cot or at 24 months old. If your toddler is safely contained in his cot do not move him to a bed too early. The reason is that toddlers need to boundaries to stay in bed. When the physical boundary of a cot is removed, you need to use verbal boundaries to keep your toddler from roaming the halls at bedtime. This can be a challenge. So leave your toddler in his cot for as long as possible.
