bed vs cot
Emily goes to bed in the evening in her cot but then wakes at midnight & comes in with us for the rest of the night. I dont think she likes her cot at all & wondered how early you can put them in a toddler bed. I think she will still come in with us at some point in the night but want to get her used to her room & her bed as want her to be in there all night before she is two.

Re: bed vs cot
Does she have a nightlight. We found this with my eldest - he went to sleep well with his lullaby nightlight but if he awoke in the night and it was dark he was upset - we invested in a nightlight and he was much better. Emily has a winnie the pooh night light that she can turn on herself (a shame that I then hear winnie the pooh singing in my ear at 2.30am!) Emily has always been more self sufficient and this has worked with her. It may be worth trying before a bed?

Re: bed vs cot
Tia was in her own big girl bed (couldn't afford a toddler bed then a big bed) when she was 11 months old. She could climb out of her cot at that age, and I felt it was too dangerous for her to stay in the cot. She was fine.. We got a guard rail and unless she was being silly, like jumping on the bed when she shouldn't be, she never fell out and hurt herself badly.

Re: bed vs cot
i think they officially say 18 month for a toddler bed with a guard rail up. but then i have heard if like squiglet's little one that if they are able to climb out then cots might not be safe then and u shouldnt turn into a bed. my neighbours little boy hated his cot and he was about emilys age when she turned it into bed and now he sleeps through. she let him help her take the rails down on the cotbed to turn it into cot and he threw himself straight on the bed when it was ready and he loved it
