Hi Moms, I need some help!! I have 13 month old twins and one of them has starting climbing out of her crib!! She's fallen, no serious injuries, just bumps and bruises so far, but I constantly worry about something more serious happening and I also worry that her sister is going to start doing it too after watching her continuing to do it! I put large pillows all around the outside of her crib so that if she does it again at least she'll land on something soft (we have hardwood floors). I've never experienced this before, my older one never did this.... Is 13 months too early for a toddler bed? Would she stay in it?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks for the responses! We went with the crib tent for now, so hopefully that will solve the problem! I had no idea that they made something like that, it works so well in the crib...she seems to like it too, so that's a plus!!! I'm sure we'll be buying another one if this one works!!

I bought a toddler bed when my son was about one year old. (It was a great deal and would only be on sale that day.) My husband decided to use it right away for naps. He was fine. My husband wanted to get him used to it at night, too. So he bought a little toddler bed side rail, and he's been in it since then.
Kids are really adaptable. My son is able to get out of his bed any time he wants, safely, and he can get back in, too. It's really worked well for us.

E.,
Your daughter has grown and is out to see the world. This is frightning when it might be a fall and broken bones. My cousin feel onto a hardwood floor and broke his collar bone.

A toddler bed will stop the climbing out of bed. I put a gate at the children's bedroom door, this stopped the child from crawling out of bed and all over the house. I really child proofed the bedroom and prayed a lot.

Good luck and your daughter will be grown before you know it. I am taking mine to college.

You can always try to put the mattress on the floor and may have to buy another mattress or you can get a crib tent, sold at babys R us or on this website called onestepahead.com
