7 things that can happen when your child moves from a cot to a big bed
Perhaps your child has been climbing out of their cot, is night toilet training or has a new sibling. Either way there will come a time when your baby needs to ditch the cot and move to a bed, and when it does here are 7 things that you can expect to happen.
2. Up and down games
Get ready for the never-ending pop up child (even if it’s not at first). Once they realise they can actually get up out of bed whenever they feel like it, trust us they will. It might start with appearances in the kitchen asking for water, or a little face peering around the hallway at what you’re watching on TV. And then they get bolder – suddenly your toddler is running up and down the hallway ten times a night after bedtime just for kicks, or you check in on them later and they’re in the middle of the floor playing with all their toys. So expect some disturbed sleep for a while and it’s at this point that a day sleep might end up disappearing altogether too (darn).
