To make the switch from crib to big boy bed or not?! It's in serious debate over at our house right now. Jase has, for the most part, been a great sleeper, but lately (as in the last two weeks) he is having a hard time going to sleep and staying asleep all night. Usually we can tell the problem be it teething, not feeling well, ect, but these last two weeks the only constant thing we can tell is Jase wants one of us in the room with him. It was so bad the other night that I ended up in the crib with him because I just wanted a little sleep.
The idea of switching Jase to a big boy bed has been on both mine and my husbands mine for a while now. Originally we were going to wait until he started to climb out, but that has yet to happen. Then we thought about it when I became pregnant as I was having a hard time laying Jase in his crib without resting on my stomach. That is not an issue anymore, so we were back to just leaving him in his crib as it was working. Well, it's just not working at the moment and we don't know how long this moment will last, so there lies our decision to make.
Why can we not just decide? We'll we're gun shy! What if moving him to a big boy bed make sleep worse? Will we have to deal with him trying to leave his room in the middle of the night? Will we end up sleeping with him every night?
My husband and I had last talked about waiting until Jase turned TWO, to make the big move, but I feel it might be coming sooner. So parents who have a toddler not sleeping in a crib, how's it going? How did you make the big move? Let me also mention we will be switching his room. When we moved in this house we didn't know that the room we picked for Jase is the hottest in summer and coldest in winter. So when Jase trasitions to a big boy bed we're also switching rooms. How do we go about that?
Help a momma out!
