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?
