Time for A Big Bed

Once your child three meetings, you will probably start thinking about moving them into a "big kid's bed" in the night time - and if they are large or you may have to crib for a new baby with a brother or sister, you may have it sooner. The transition to a larger bed can be a difficult for young children who are safe and secure in their cot - yes, how can we make sure that this milestone does not become a whirl?

Ready for bed?
Ideally, you should aim to keep your child in a cot as long as possible but usually 3 years of age, most children have become a bed. A sure sign that a child must be on a bed, if they insist, in an attempt to climb out of the crib or are successful in escaping!
Her daughter is on the young side for such a step to keep them in it so you have to give her the incentive to want to stay there. If you give and take in her in your bed, the awakening is likely to continue - after all, snuggling with Mom and Dad is the ultimate reward for their time night watch. At the same time, they can not sleep associations and lose the ability to govern itself alone at night.

Do it gradually
A gradual withdrawal program will help teach your daughter to go to bed alone and go back to sleep by itself during the night. This technique is a minimum and screaming is less likely to disturb her baby brother and the lucky parents whose turn it is to stay in bed!
Gradual withdrawal is a method of gradually distancing yourself from your daughter piece by piece, until they no longer need your presence to fall asleep before bedtime. It should teach them how to return to sleep independently in the night.

STEP 1
After her usual bath and bedtime story routine to her in bed with whatever cuddlies she sleeps with, and stroke her arm or shoulder, as she continues.

STEP 2
Stop stroking and gently pat her to sleep. After a few minutes patting steady start, Pat intermittently, with gradually increasing intervals between the contact.

STEP 3
Insert a very light hand on her and the rest are there for a few minutes. Then remove your hand and softly "shhhhhhh" her as she drifts from.

STEP 4
This is where you begin to quietly move your chair farther away from her bed - quietly moving two feet away and sit for a few minutes, then move it into the middle of the room for a few minutes, and then move to next to the door. Once in this spot, sit for 10 minutes, to ensure that they sleep deeply. If you believe that she is, move your chair in front of the door and give him another couple of minutes when you feel it's necessary.

Keep up the good work
You have to deal with your toddler , and repeat this procedure every time she/he wakes in the night, until they went back to sleep again. You can use this technique to make you better - for example, receive, you can by the bed on the chair, or lean against the wall until you are sure she is asleep. Depending on how well they are coping strategies, repeat each step for three nights only and hold any interaction with her to a minimum.
This method usually sleep takes about three or four weeks to complete. It is likely to be challenging and frustrating for the first few nights, but also your daughter will learn for yourself and you should not be hearing the Pitter patter of tiny feet late into the night!
