I was downstairs last night heard DD wake up and then an ungodly thud. She had climbed/fallen out of bed. I don' think I have ever run up stairs that fast in my life. She was upset, but consoled relatively quickly and then went back to sleep and slept in our bed with DH.
I then spent the next hour moving her mattress down one more time to the lowest level. This level is the level used for the toddler bed. We have a Berg Convertible Crib. Now that I have moved the mattress, I cannot put DD down to sleep in her crib without practically dropping her and then having to deal with her waking up. For some reason my DH finds it impossible to lay DD in her crib period, she ALWAYS wakes up for him.
So I need advice. Do I take the front part of the crib off, converting the crib to a toddler bed? Or do I leave it be and just try to get DD to fall asleep on her own? Dh is against turning her bed into a toddler bed already, esp since she can't walk yet.
I moved her to her crib after I went to bed, but she woke up, because I can't reach the mattress. I didn't have the energy to do anything else but bring her back to bed with us.
We can't co-sleep, we've tried and I would love to but our bed isn't big enough for DH and I let alone DD too... We are just too big and have a queen (no way a king would fit in our bedroom)
TIA!
