The first day, Ryker did not take a nap until 3:00 Normally his naptime is 1:00-3:00. He slept until almost 5. As a result he did not go to sleep that night until 11. His bedtime is normally 8:30 He shares a room with Robbie and would not stay in his bed. I must have put him back in that bed 15 times. I finally gave up and rocked him to sleep.
Yesterday was day 2 of the big boy bed and no nap at all. He was so overtired, every little thing set him off. I tried laying him down at 7 with no luck. By 8:30 he had fallen asleep on the floor of his bedroom and when Robbie went to bed, he woke Ryker up. I tried nursing Ryker and rocking him and he went to sleep at 10 p.m.
Today we had an appointment and I woke him up at 7:30 Talk about a grouch! Around 10 a.m. he was getting fussy so I nursed him and he fell asleep. Right now it is 12:30 and I hear him playing in his room. I'm not sure how tonight is going to be. Anyone with suggestions on how to keep him in his bed?

Oh my! A similar thing happened when we converted to daybed. This sounds totally ridiculous, but I got one of those bed rails like you put on a twin to keep them from rolling off and put it on the crib. It left a small opening for him to be able to climb out, but kept him in there for some reason??
Nice V :)
My grandson went through the same problem. The bed rail helped a lot as the prior person commented. Also my daughter-in-law put doorknob child proofers on his room doorknob so he can't open the door and come out of his room. A bedtime routine helps .. he had a quick bath, a couple of books are read to him, a favorite blankie and a "glow worm' that plays music are put in the bed. That usually soothes him and he will get drowsy and fall asleep. Good luck!
Super-glue.
You poor thing. My daughter is dealing with a fussy little one too. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and No it's not a train!~Ames
The bedtime routine worked best for us. It took a few days to get into the rhythm but after Princess got used to it, she would be askleep before I finished the story I was reading her.
I have no idea how to keep him from getting out all the time. Good luck!
It is so exhausting to get little ones to embrace a new routine!
I hope it's going better, Miss Becky.
I hope you find a new rhythm soon for all of you!
Hugs and naps!
A+
