Climbing Out of PNP

Thanks! I ordered a couple of the XL Halo ones, they'll be here in a week! Won't my little climbers be surprised when I foil their plans.

I would totally try the sleep sack before I transitioned to a cot. I've had some really strong willed kids in my care the last couple of years and they were not ready for a mat/cot until they were closer to 3! I don't mind sitting with the child until they fall asleep, but it became a game (let's see how many times she has me lay back down!) and we went from 3 hour naps to not sleeping at all

My little guy LOVES getting his on. He giggles! At home, his mom has to wrestle him into it.

The way I see it, you have 2 options, buy a large sleep sack to put him in at nap time preventing him from swinging his leg over the top of the railing

or

Put a cot or mat in a playard and let him start sleeping in there. My playard is about 4 inches taller than the depth of the pack n plays.

This is a great idea too...thanks. This never crossed my mind.

I'm ordering the halo sleep sacks and trying this first. She is 20 months but wearing 12 months clothes....VERY petite. She small but mighty....

When they start doing that here I move them onto a nap mat and put the play yard around the mat. This still keeps them from wondering and walking others but gets the use to the mat. I have never had one climb out of the play yard yet.

You guys are awesome! I love the sack idea. I have two strippers thàt also climb. Awesome idea!!! I took the backwards sleeper idea and modified with a jacket zipped on backwards since its summer and I can't find sleepers. So far so good. I am thinking I might just go for the sack! Stop her plans of excape AND undress all in one sweep! Whoop whoop!!
