Transition to toddler bed
Hello All,
My son jus transitioned to a toddler bed from his crib, he is almost 2.5 years old. He is doing ok, but most nights he will get up and wonder into our room.
We'll then have to coax him back to his room and back to his bed, sometimes it takes 10 minutes, other times it can take over an hour.
Do you have any advice or tips that we can use?
He will wake up at least once i the night about every other night or so.

@Jsunn Its really normal for toddlers to be coming out like this once they discover their freedom! Remember he is pushing limits and testing boundaries and its your job as parents to be setting those boundaries. The other thing that hes looking for is attention and he doesnt care if its negative attention! So if you are engaging with him at night hes getting what he wants. I always suggest a 'silent return to bed'. He will work out quickly that he gets no attention for the behavior and it will stop! I know it can be infuriating and very hard not to react but know that your lack of reaction will be the thing that makes this stop!
