We just got the bed this week, and DS (2 1/2) refuses to have anything to do with it. Let me add, that he also refuses to have anything to do with his crib either. He started giving us a hard time about the crib 4 months ago and would scream and climb out(basically fall out)of it. We were afraid he was going to hurt himself so we let him sleep with us (big mistake)
I have tried saying I was going to sleep with him in his new bed, tried to read him books in it. Nothing works. We have a great truck quilt set from PB Kids and I put all of his animals on the bed, but he still does not want to sleep in it.
I have managed to put him in it for a nap (when he has already fallen asleep) and he stays in it, and wakes up fine. But when he is wide awake, or it is nighttime, that's a whole other story...
I know this is going to take time, but any advice is greatly appreciated. I am expecting #2 in 4 months and don't want to be going through this nightmare still!!!
