Boots & Bar and an Active Toddler - some questions

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, We're new to this but so pleased you're all here,

you were recommended to us by Dr Lerman @ Shriner's Hospital,

Sacramento, CA.

Camden is 18mths and doing v well with his treatment, he started the

Ponseti method when 6days old, 5 casts, 1 tenectomy, boots & bar 23/7

for 3mths, 12/7 for the last 12mths. He's now a boisterous little

boy and I can't envisage what the next few years are going to be

like, so here's my questions!

Do you move your todds into child's beds or keep them in cribs until

they are done with the B & B?

If they are in beds now, what happens if they fall out and do they

crawl into mom & dads room to say they are thirsty/hungry/couldn't

sleep/had a nightmare/fell out & can't get back in?

Where do you get sleeping bags/gro bags/sleep sacks larger than

12mths? & does anyone use sheets/duvets, if so how?!

Thank you in advance to those able to advise, I'm going to have a

nice cup of tea & read more of the threads here, this is great! :-)

if you are handy with a needle/thread-there is a pattern for a 2t or

larger sleep sack in the files section. Also-if you go online to

www.onestepahead.com you can order a larger sleep sack-they run up

to XL which has been plenty big for my little guy. We have not

ventured to the crib/toddler transition yet-I like having him in the

crib as I know he is safe and sound-and can't come wake me up-Heehee.

We just moved from crib to toddler bed. Transition was so easy. I

thought that she might fall out of bed easier with an " anchor " on

her feet, but no trouble at all. She was so excited to be in

her " big girl " bed, and went right down the first night we moved

her. She has always been very easy to put to bed and always sleeps

through the night. I just have a crib sheet on the bed and use a

down throw blanket for her cover. We do have the bed pushed up

against the wall, so she could only fall out on the one side. She

hasn't fallen out so far...

Good luck with your " big boy " !

My 2 year old is kind of smallfor his age and slept in a play pen till about his

2nd birthday but then we moved him to the bottom bunk bed. We put a wood rail

across it, high enough to stop him from rolling out, but low enough he can't get

stuck under it either. He crawls in and out of bed with his FAB on easily.

Kathleen - thx so much for this - have ordered an xl sleep sack online

which should fit him for a few more months, he's growing so fast! I

have also got Grandma lined up with needle & thread ready to make one

but couldn't find the patterns in the links. Is it me or has it

gone?? Clare

Thanks Jen - I think both you and number23 everettsmommy are very

brave! I'm pleased it's possible and appreciated your suggestions. I

think I might leave things as they are for a few more months, it was a

relief that noone came back with any horror stories of long term

psychological damage to their crib-bound child! Cx

I think I may have replied to the wrong list

earlier... Anyway, my twins are still in their

cots/cribs (toddler sized though) at 3 1/2 years old.

At least they can't fall out and they simply call me

in the morning when they wake up, they don't seem to

mind. They've never tried to climb out even thought

they climb up everything else, possibly because it's

not that easy with the baby sleeping bags they're

wearing. Anyway, I don't think they suffer any

psychological damage... I keep thinking that we

should take the sides off (the cots convert to beds)

but keep postponing to avoid them falling out of bed.
