How long will it take for a child to stay in bed . I have tried my child to sleep in his big boy bed but what he does he just gets out and go straight to his toys or books and plays and when the door is closed he screams so what I did I put him back in his crib and he is 16 months old Tuesday please give me more advice I would love to hear from you thank you

In reply to BrittanyLeigh. If I recall, sometimes I did find him on the floor by the bed, but he definitely didn't have the energy to stay up and play all night!

You said that you did not go back in the room after you said “goodnight”. And that sometimes he’d just cry at the door. Did he eventually go lay in the bed and go to sleep or would you find him asleep at the door? My daughter has a lot of toys in her room (We don’t have space anywhere else) I’m just afraid if I don’t go back in and redirect her to the bed, shell just stay up all night and play. LOL

Hey Chelsea,
I Love these tips. Great tips, we’ve actually just made the switch tonight! She cried a bit at the start and got out of bed four times but she finally went off about three hours ago now.

In reply to Amber Corkin. Maybe you could try putting a baby gate there, too? Just so he can't get out? Hopefully he won't try to climb out for a while. I have a friend whose little boy didn't climb out until he was almost three, so there is hope! Good luck!!

Chelsea these tips are fantastic! I’m stressing out a little bit because he sleeps in a “den” that doesn’t have a door. (We’re in a little condo.) There is just a blackout curtain over his doorway. Do you have any ideas for what we can do?! Luckily he hasn’t tried climbing out of bed yet so we’re not transitioning yet, but he’s climbing on everything else so I feel like the toddler bed transition is coming sooner rather than later.
