Matching the Comfort Requirements of Your Toddler While Converting Baby Cribs Into Toddler Beds

Unlike the adults who grow till a certain age limit, children grow quite consistently. Baby growing into a toddler and toddler growing into a boy or girl is a period of transition that parents should handle with care and caution. To match the comfort level of the toddlers while not alienating them from their known environment it may be necessary converting baby cribs into toddler beds.

Considerations in Conversion

Convertible Crib And Changer

A few considerations would be important while converting the baby cribs into toddler beds.

• Movement from crib to toddler bed could be an uneasy transaction for both parent as well as the child.

• Either when the child reaches the height of 36" or its chest levels with the railing of the cribs, it would be appropriate time to move the toddler to bed from the crib.

• Usually the conversion becomes necessary when the baby reaches the age of 18 months to 42 months.

When the Toddler is Ready for Conversion

It is important determining the exact time when the toddler becomes ready for the conversion. When the child that is potty trained and require using bathroom in the night or when the toddler is trying to climb from the crib, it would be the ripe time moving the toddler to bed from the crib. Also the moving of toddler to his or her own bed would be appropriate while little changes are taking place around. It could be very useful discussing the change with the child so that he or she can really appreciate the necessity.

Precautions on Conversion

It is required taking certain precautions while converting the cribs into toddler bed. Installation of child safety gets or safe yard panes would be a couple of steps in the right direction. Another great way would be involving the toddler in the conversion process since picking up own bed is always one of the exciting prospects for the child.

In any case, safety of the child would be the primary concern for parents in any conversion. The child will be moving from the comparatively safe environment of cribs to the open arena of the bed and he or she may not be acquainted with the safety measures while sleeping on the open bed.

Bed railings at small heights would be a feasible solution for the problem.

Baby Sleeping Tips - Easy Remedies For Baby Sleep Problems

Are there evenings when you feel that your baby's sleeping patterns will never be regulated? Can you imagine a time when your baby will sleep long enough for the two of you to feel refreshed and rested? Parents know that there is no way to avoid the occasional night in the nursery rocker, but how can we keep those nights with baby sleeping very little or not at all to a bare minimum?

Convertible Crib And Changer

A common question that new parents ask is, "How long will it be before we can get baby sleeping on a schedule?" or "When will we be able to sleep through the night without waking up a dozen times?" Does this sound like you on your last visit to the pediatrician? Some lucky parents brag that they have never been plagued with sleep problems at all but the answer to those common questions according to the experts is that the average time when babies start sleeping through the night is a year or so.

Convertible Crib And Changer

When you are sleep deprived and can hardly keep your eyes open the last thing you want to hear is that you will have to wait a year or more for relief. Some desperate moms have even questioned why there are sleeping pills for grownups and no baby sleeping aids or remedies. I believe in the natural approach to parenting whenever possible, but I have to admit succumbing to panic due to exhaustion myself. However, I knew that I needed methods to help my baby sleep naturally. In my search I found a few things that worked and I am more than happy to share my methods with you.

The first lesson may be easiest and yet the most important: don't wait until a few minutes before bedtime to start fretting about how to get baby to sleep. I found that the best way to get an infant to sleep at night starts with a routine that's put into practice as early as possible.

(1. Design the nursery to be an ideal sleep environment. Create a space that can be darkened easily through the use of room darkening window treatments.

(2. Locate the nursery in a quiet part of your home and have some method of creating white noise to block out street traffic and household chatter.

(3. Take time to read the telltale signs that your baby is sleepy. When baby gets fussy or when your see the eyelids droop, stop what you are doing and kick off the bedtime routine. Don't miss this opportunity or you may regret it. Babies can go from the drowsy stage to hyperactive, unhappy creatures with a second wind in record time. If there ever was an instance in parenting when timing is important, this could be it.

Every mother's process for relaxing her baby is unique, there is no definite set of rules for what should be involved. Whatever your baby sleeping routine works out to be; stick to it. Try not to vary from it from day to day. The best way to an ideal baby sleep routine, relies on mom having a routine.
You will have a calmer and more confident child if you are so predictable that baby always knows exactly what happens next.

(4. Stick closely to a schedule. Have a certain time that you dress baby for the crib. A mother whose newborn had an erratic sleeping pattern shared with me that she stuck to a rigid routine for over a week and almost crumbled more than once. Then almost magically the baby began to respond and started to stick with an early bedtime.

(5. If baby seems unhappy or fussy, many mothers have had excellent results with baby slings. It makes sense that some babies need some time to adjust to the world. These sensitive souls miss the motion of your body and feeling close to you at all times. Perhaps the use of a sling will get you through this period of adjustment and allow you to get a few chores done while you're at it.

(6. Another way to ease baby into our strange world is with white noise. There are white noise machines that closely mimic the sounds that are common in your womb, but if your budget is tight a table fan may do the trick.

(7. How many nights have we put our little ones to sleep only to have them get wide awake, when they feel the change in temperature from our arms to the cold crib sheet? A solution to this baby sleep problem is to put a warm water bottle inside the baby's bed as part of your bedtime routine. When the time comes for you to put baby into her crib, remove the water bottle and slip baby into the warm and cozy crib.

The list of baby sleeping tips could go on and on. What works for one baby might not produce results with another. However, calm, loving persistence and repetition will be the basic building blocks for developing your newborn's regular sleeping patterns that will relax her and let both of you start sleeping like a baby.

How to Baby Proof Your Home

Is your baby crawling, and pulling himself up on everything?
Then it's time to baby proof your house. Here are some ideas to
help you make your home safe for your baby and how to baby proof
your home.

Convertible Crib And Changer

Keep all cords on your curtains or drapes tied up and out of
your baby's reach. Your baby could get entangled in them, or
the cord could get wrapped around his neck. Don't ever put a
crib or playpen next to a window with reachable cords.

Convertible Crib And Changer

Install window guards so your baby can't fall through the
screens on windows that are above ground level. Adjust the
window guards so you can't open the window more than 6 inches.
Also, protect your screen door with a safety gate so your child
can't fall through.

Cover electrical outlets with plastic covers to prevent baby
from sticking things in them.

Move electrical cords out of your baby's reach. Place them
behind furniture so your baby doesn't chew on them, or pull a
heavy object on top of him.

Attach unstable furniture (i.e. bookcases or dressers) to the
wall so baby can't pull them down on himself.

Get rid of houseplants or move them out of your baby's reach.
Houseplants can be pulled down on your baby and chances are the
plants could be poisonous.

Put gates at the top and bottom of stairs to prevent baby from
falling down the stairs.

Place corner guards or cushioned strips on coffee tables or
anything that has any sharp corners. If your baby could fall
into it and its sharp, cover it up.

Lock the garage and any hobby areas. The garage is usually where
all of the poisonous household cleaners are kept, and you don't
want your baby to get hold of small objects he could choke on.

Keep your baby out of home offices. Pens, paper shredders, and
electrical cords pose possible threats.

Put child proof handles on certain doors to keep your baby from
entering the rooms you don't want him in.

Keep bathroom doors shut, use baby gates, or use a toilet lock
so your baby can't fall into the toilet and drown.

Get down on your baby's level and remove anything within three
feet of his reach that may be dangerous.

Get cabinet locks for the kitchen and bathroom so your baby
can't get into the trash or anything poisonous underneath the
sink

Some common household items that you may consider putting up out
of reach of your baby are: string, balloons, spare change,
needles, sewing supplies, alcoholic beverages, cleaning
supplies, candy, batteries, guns, knifes, perfumes, cosmetics,
razors, jewelry, light bulbs, candles, matches or lighters,
marbles, scissors, letter openers, pens, pencils, etc. These are
just a few hazardous items around the house that could cause
injury or death. Be on the lookout for these and similar
objects.

Hopefully this will help give you some ideas on how to baby proof
your home and make it safe for you and your baby.

You can find different kinds of tables like this from different stores like those stores that sell several nursery furnishings. These locations are the best places to find a cheap baby changing table at a very affordable price.
