Aimee has been having her daytime naps in her big bed all week, so tonight I thought I would try her out and see how it goes.

OH is out for the evening, so I figure I can do it better on my own.

I put her down 10 mins ago and she got up once... I have put her back and havent heard anything else... yet!

Good luck! We're dismantling Chloe's cot tomorrow so there'll be no going back then

I have been up again to find her peeling the hearts off her wall... she saw me and said 'oh'!

So, I put her back...

I think I can hear her up again though!....

Its going to be a long night!

Lol, little monkey!

Ok... this is the fourth time... not sure what to do now!? x

lol... I started to go up the stairs and she started running towards her bed... she is getting the idea!

Can she get out? If not I would leave her to it, it'll be the novelty to start with, she'll sleep when she's tired

I can shut her door, but I dont think it will prevent her from causing havock. Her room is safe.

The last time I went up she had got a shoe out of her toy box and was running around shouting 'shoe'

I think she is getting the message though, as she ran towards her bed when I went up there. When she is asleep I am going to put her cot mattress down next to the bed in case she falls out. I dont want to do it yet as she will prob sleep on it if I put it on the floor.

lol, quite funny her running to the bed when u go up!!
is she asleep yet?

After an hour and a half of me running upstairs every few minutes I gave up (im too fat with baby no. 2 to keep running up there so much)

Im going to keep with it and get her to do her daytime naps there still.

Perhaps its because its a brand new room too.

I put her back in her cot and she fell asleep within seconds!

Aw bless you hun, sounds like it's been hard work tonight

Just wanted to say though that Libby went through a few nights of getting up and playing with her books etc. but I just left her to it, she would eventually get into bed and go to sleep, although I would find all sorts in her bed in the morning

I'm going to try our lo in her big bed in a few weeks, I've got a week off work so am prepared for a few restless nights. She loves her books and has them all on a low shelf in her room, and I don't want to move them, but now she'll be up 'reading' them all night.
Hope you have a better time next attempt.
