EP 26 - Transition to a Big Kid Bed 'Sup, Moms?

On this episode of 'Sup, Moms? Podcast, we're discussing how we transitioned our older kids to a big kid bed. This topic brings anxiety for lots of parents and we thought we'd share how we handled it & how it's been going. 

The factors:

- Marin transitioned to a big bed when she was a little over 2.5 years old
- Luke transitioned to a big bed when he was just over 3 years old 

What's in Marin's Room: 

- IKEA extendable bed

- LittleHippo Mella clock

What's in Luke's Room: 

- Crate and Barrel Ever Simple

- Hatch Light

Megan's Three Takeaways:

- We use safety knobs on her main door and closet (if she needs us she can talk to her monitor camera)

- Game Changer: she stopped pooping in her Pull-Up when we put her training potty in her room

- She can get up to tricks while she's tiring herself out so we've had to remove all her books and bed frame in the past

Jess' Three Takeaways:

- Prepping way in advance helped tremendously! We read 2 books about getting a big kid bed, he picked the bed color & his sheets and he got to help Dad put the bed together

- The Hatch Light has been big about when he can wake up, he does ask for his light to be purple (when he can wake up) before it's time

- He stays in bed well but he stalls pretty epically before it's time to sleep
