First time mum here 😊My baby is comming up 18months soon and he has been sleeping through the night for a long time now. He can self soothe and usually sleeps from 7.30-7.30. Has 1 day nap that lasts for a couple of hours. (11.30/12.00-1.30-2.30) however wakes up hysterical because he's legs are getting jammed between the bars on his cot and his legs are getting too chubby to pull out himself (I'm assuming his legs are getting caught when he's asleep) what should I do to help him ? Is it best to think about transitioning to his toddler bed or are there other options?
Hi Sam! Does your toddler wear a sleep sack? This can help let’s from getting trapped in the bars. I always recommend to keep your little one in their crib until at least 2.5-3 years old if you can as developmentally, although some toddlers transition earlier totally fine, for many others, it often coincides with either the 18 month sleep regression or 2 year old sleep regression and wreck havoc on their sleep as for many toddlers they don’t yet have the ability to know how to stay in their bed x
