MommyOf3But4ToBe`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll When my husband gets home from Iraq,(sometime this month) we are going to ttc one more baby. Our ds is 16 months old right now, when should we start putting him in his big boy bed?

Now, so he does not resent the baby...
Try naps first to get him used to it...
Wait until closer to the birth of the new baby...
Will leave a comment...

I guess i should have added that my son is a climber, and although he hasnt climbed out of his crib yet, he has been tryin...

16 months is not too early for a toddler bed. Don`t under estimate the child haha. My son went to a toddler bed at 18 months and loved it. He was climbing out of his crib by 16 months. He stayed peaceful in his bed.

I`m with excitedmama. My son will be 20 months when our 2nd is born in a few weeks. From all the advice I`ve heard, wait as long as possible to transition your baby from a crib to a bed (i.e. when they start to climb out). I honestly can`t imagine my son staying peacefully in a toddler bed so that`s the approach I`m going to take. Baby 2 has a pack n play with bassinet in our room for now.

We are going to wait for a while before trying the big boy bed. Gabe will be about 19 months when this baby arrives and it seems like too much adjustment at this point. We are just getting a second convertible crib so they will each have their own bed.

My sister conceived her second when her son was 18 months old. She put him in a toddler bed about a month before the new baby, so he was about 25 or 26 months old by then, which seemed like the perfect age.

I would wait til baby arrives or if need be get a 2nd crib. 16 months IMO is to early :)

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
