baby's hopping out bed And play pen?

Question

so they sell anything that can make the hight of a play pen of crib higher?.. my 1 1/2 jumps out in the middle of the night i have a baby gate but he can still run around and i want him in his bed when we are sleeping.. some please help..

Answer 1

sounds like someone is ready for hs own bed and when/if you get him one take him alone and let him pick it out might make him feel more like a big boy if he can help pick it out or have him pick his sheets for on the bed

Answer 2

You could try putting him in a toddler bed, but there is no way to make him stay in that either. Also, please do not cut back his naps. He should be taking an afternoon nap for at least an hour, 2 is better. He also needs an early bed time, 8 pm at the latest. Keeping him awake during the day will make it physically impossible to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. It is a sleep myth to keep a child awake in hopes of making them sleep better at night. Believe me, I have a day care in my home and deal with this on a daily basis. I would suggest getting a crib tent for your son's bed. It's just a mesh tent that fits over the top of the crib, it is completely safe if installed properly. I have never purchased one, but I'm sure you could do a google search and find out what stores sell them. Good luck.

Answer 3

One thing i recommend to my customers with this problem is a crib tent. You can use it on ANY style of crib. It just velcros around the crib sides, and there is a zipper on it too. So the only way for baby to get out is by you unzipping the tent. Make sure your crib is on the lowest level that it can go. He may be telling mom that he is ready for a toddler bed.

Answer 4

Once they can get out of the crib it is time for a "Big Boy" bed. If his room is child proof he should be fine just use the door or gate to keep him in while you sleep.

Answer 5

usually around 18 months a toddler is ready for a bed instead of a crib. If you continue to put him in a crib there's a good chance he get get hurt trying to climb out.

Answer 6

Take him out of the crib, he's ready for a toddler bed! I always heard my children whenever they woke up; but if you don't hear them, bells on the door is a great idea. Bottom line is to teach your child to either stay in his room until you're up, or to have them wake you when they get up. Do what works best for you. If you're planning on sleeping in, let your child stay up a little later so he'll sleep too......hopefully!

Answer 7

I put the mattress on the floor and the sides of the crib down. Too high to climb out but still safe.
or get a toddler bed, close his/her bedroom door at night and tie bells on it to wake you when he gets up and out. good luck

Answer 8

Once they can get out of a crib, it's time for a bed.

Make sure he is more active during the day so he is tired. Cut back on naps too.

Answer 9

taller cribs and gates also think about a bed for him/her if they jump off a bed they wont get hurt but you never know with a crib being alot taller.

Answer 10

At that age I made sure that my child was dead tired when I put him to bed and that solved the problem for me. Take him to the park or just outdoors and let him exhaust himself, then feed him, give him a warm bath and you will both sleep through the night.

Answer 11

Consider reducing his nap times. Kids all develop at different times, so he may have outgrown naps a little early.
Also, some food additives and preservatives can cause sleeplessness and hyper activity. I read "Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About" and it really helped me. Good Luck.
