How can I help my child transition to a floor bed?Updated 8 days ago

Transitioning to a floor bed is similar to any change out of a crib or bassinet. One strategy is to set up the floor bed and leave the crib in the room at the same time. Then, ask your child where they want to sleep each night. After about a week of sleeping in the bed, you can remove the crib.
When transitioning to a floor bed, it can also be helpful to have your child practice getting in and out a few times. That way, they can get in and out independently with confidence.

If your child is old enough, you may also work with them to create a morning routine. Should they call for you to open their door? Can they get out and go get you? Should they read a book until you come for them? You can make a chart with pictures that show your child which activities they can do when they get up.
