My daughter sleeps in her crib (portacrib) but she is starting to grow out of it,now here is the thing i live in a 1 bedroom and i have a older daughter that sleeps wth us and no matter how many times i put her back in her bed at night she comes back and then i give up so im thinking on getting her a sleeping bag and put her to sleep next to me but on one side i have the crib and onthe other her twin bed,soo i was wondering if my 15 month old is to small to put her in the twin bed and get rid of the crib and get my oldest to sleep in the sleeping bag.Thanxs in advance.

just wanted wanted to add that i live in a 1 bedroom apt is for obvious reasons and that me wanting to put my eldest in a sleeping bag is for training purposes once she gets use to sleeping all night by her self then i belive she will be able to sleep in her bed all nighti would never let it become something permanent.

i know this is going to sound rude and i am not trying to be rude but why don't you get a two bedroom apartment, house, etc then you can put the two kids in a room together and not worry about this watch out though if social services ever came in and investigated they would tell you the children can not be in the same room as you once they are 2-3

I am going to treat this question as serious but I really hope it isn't. I assume you have a husband or boyfriend because you said your older daughter "sleeps with us". How about both of you sleep in a sleeping bag and put your oldest daughter in the bed. This is ridiculous. I understand you live in a 1 bedroom apartment but I think it's time you seriously consider moving. You can not expect a child of any age to sleep in a sleeping bag and portacribs aren't meant to be a permanent crib.

Your 15 month old child should be able to keep the mattress from the crib and just upgrade to a small toodler bed. The sleeping bag my help but at the same time you may be setting your self up for a child who wants your comfort all night. My daughter is 2 years old and she now sleeps in a toddler bed but at least three - four times a night she comes into my room. You just have to carry her back to bed until she realizes she can't fit in your bed.

I have an 11 month old and she sleeps in her crib 95% of the time. I am not sure about your baby being in a twin bed already... That seems a bit premature, but it depends on a few things. Is she big for her age? ( maybe that is why you put her in a twin bed) You would not want her to wake at night and go walking around the house. ( my nephew use to do that) I would suggest for you to try keeping her in her crib, she is still a baby. good luck

I waited until my son was 18 months to put him in a regular bed. But as long as you have bed rails on the bed there wont be a problem. Make sure that she can get in and out of the bed with ease and make sure that if she were to fall she wouldn't get hurt (put blankets on the floor). If money is tight, you can go to a family agency that will help you find the right kind of beds that will fit her best. Good luck!

First off, there is nothing wrong with co-sleeping. There are tons of scientific research supporting it as a positive and healthy choice (and if you think about it, it has a much longer track record than alternative). Social services will not take your kids away from you because they are sharing your room!
That being said, it sounds like it might simplify your situation if your older daughter had a permanent sleeping arrangement in her own room. Transitioning to that might be hard at first... You might want to consult attachment parenting resources on transitioning out of co-sleeping...

I truly have a fifteen month previous Bedtime 9:00 gets up 7:00-7:30 (i'm jealous of your occasional 9:00! haha) Takes a snooze 11:00 or 11:30 to twelve:30ish needs a snooze at 4:00 if she did no longer take a sturdy nap till now (we conflict with length of naps) Then decrease back to mattress at 9:00 My daughter will bypass numerous nights getting up. each so often i will lay her precise backpedal and he or she'll bypass to sleep. each so often I in simple terms deliver her decrease back to mattress with me, and he or she'll be out interior of seconds. that's often someplace between 3:30-5:30 while she wakes up. Then she'll choose for a week and not awaken. that is like a cycle.

You're really setting yourself up for problems. You are the parent and as the parent you need to set the standards as far as teaching them that they need to sleep in their own beds. You children need to learn how to be independent, not by their mommy's side 24/7. Your 15 month old won't be ready for a twin bed for a while. It's unsafe. She needs to be contained and safe. I don't think your daughter is the problem, I think that you are having problems saying no to her sleeping wtih you. The sleeping bag would just reinforce the problem. Maybe get her something neat for her room, something to encourage her to sleep in her own room.

She is too young for a bed. She could roll off easy and hurt herself. Kids tend to be restless at that age and easily roll around. It is not recommended that children sleep in toddler beds until about 2 years old
