Re: Poll - Question regarding type of bed

January 14, 2004

Hi ,

We have twins turning 4 on 2/4. Becca (non RSS) is in a toddler bed

(but about to get a twin as she is outgrowing the bed). Her crib

converted to a toddler bed so there was no reason for us to do

anything else. We didn't even convert it until she was 3 because she

liked her crib.

(RSS) is still in a crib and not a bed. We are very concerned

about moving him to a bed because of his pump. He is behind on a lot

of things and we aren't sure he will understand not to get out of bed

until we disconnect him.

That being said, everyone that I know transitioned their children

from a crib to a toddler bed first. I don't think there is anything

wrong with it.

Good luck,

Judith, Steve, (RSS) and (non RSS) almost 4 year old

twins

My oldest son is currently in a toddler bed. He has a had time with the bigger

twin beds as well and the smaller bed has worked very well for us.

I know what you were saying about your mother too. My mom tried telling me the

same thing when Keigan had an ear infection and was throwing up. She said, " You

wouldn't rush Tristian to the doc for that. Your overreacting and treating

Keigan different because he's small. " All I could say was yeah ok...sure. Of

course my Mom is kind of a wack I think that bothers me more then anything

because we try so hard not to treat them different (as much as possible) and

then someone comes along and says you aren't doing a good job of it. Maybe I

just overreact but it's like they are saying you are a bad parent. Just bugs me
