Do I take the plunge with my energetic 15 month old?
I switched to a floor bed (mattress directly on the floor) with my daughter at 18 months. She did great, but she also adapts really well to new things. We had bought a twin mattress for her and the rest is history.
Fast forward to today with my 15 month old boy, he’s energetic, all over the place, light sleeper but falls asleep easily. He’s not walking yet. I currently rock him to sleep but 1. He’s getting bigger and it’s a little more difficult to rock him. 2. The constant alligator rolling around in my arms is driving me nuts lol 3. The rocking chair is killing my back especially during sleep regressions where it takes me hours to get him to sleep.
I’d like to get him used to falling asleep in a bed rather than rocking him forever. I was thinking of baby proofing his room completely and putting his crib mattress on the floor to start.
Should I just go for it? Should I wait to get a twin size mattress instead?
