Went to bed at 8:45. Still not asleep. Wide awake...
Our son is 17 months. His crib bed is set to the lowest setting and the top of the rail is approx. 48" off the ground. Him standing the rail is at face level.
Bout a week ago he wakes up in the middle of the night and we let him cry for a bit. Go in to check and he cries harder when we leave. We let him cry it out some more. He quits crying. Ok cool; he went to sleep. Nope... He shows up in our room. We let him sleep with us the rest of the night.
Decision is made to put socks on him at night so he can't get traction to climb out. That worked for about 2 nights. Now he doesn't cry, just crawls into our bed. So I figure we should put the toddler bed conversion rail on the crib before he hurts himself one night climbing out. Tonight is the 1st night with the toddler rail. I have a cot on standby so I can start the process of walking him back to bed and sleep in his room to get him used to the new arrangement.
It was so much easier when he could cry for 10 minutes trapped in his crib. He just got tired and went back to sleep. Lol.
I keep listening to the monitor to see if he wakes up and realizes all of the freedom he has. It's gonna be a long night.
