“While there is no set age to move your young child into their own bed, by the age of three, most children are ready to make the change”.Īccording to Gurney, there are cues to watch out for that could speed up the transition – especially if it becomes a safety issue with toddlers trying to escape their beds. Mandy Gurney, a sleep expert at the Millpond Children’s Sleep Clinic which specialises in babies’ and childrens’ sleep issues, explains – Many experts believe that this all important time of a child’s development will become apparent through bedtime cues.
Possibly the first consideration for most parents of small children is the transition from cot to bed.
