One of the most exciting experiences about having children is celebrating their achievements and reaching new milestones in their lives.
As they grow from a baby to a toddler an exciting milestone is moving them from a cot to a big bed.
But when is it the right time to do this? What tips are available to help successfully navigate the transition?
To help, we speak with Emma O’Callaghan, a Midwife, IVF Reproductive Nurse Specialist and Infant and Child Sleep Consultant.
Emma has over 20 years working within both a hospital and community setting and extensive experience in working with infants and children in their formative years.
We ask Emma questions including:
- What challenges do parents face when transitioning their toddler from a cot to a bed?
- When is the ideal time?
- When should parents give their toddler a pillow?
- Should parents set a new bedtime routine to help ease the transition?
- Should you let your child take anything from the cot that can help them feel more comfortable?
- Should parents consider using a bed rail?
- What happens if you have a new baby on the way?
- What home safety precautions do you suggest parents follow?
