Transition from crib to… double bed?
Honestly just looking to see what people think or if they have down this previously and can share their experience.
Little man is currently 10 months and sleeps in a crib in his own room, adjacent to our room, as he has done since 6 months without issue.
We are in the process of moving houses and the new house will have 3 double bedrooms, one more than we currently have. The seller is selling us furniture they don’t need at a very reasonable price as they’re downsizing, to my house!
So when we move in the next couple of weeks there will already be a double bed (low ottoman) in bedroom 2. We (parents) will take the master bed but bedroom 2 actually has more usable space due to it being rectangular.
The plan is to keep little man in his crib until around 2 1/2 years old in bedroom 3, adjacent to our room, when touch wood we will have to kick him out of the crib and room to make room for his 6 month old sibling.
So my question is, am I crazy to think I can put a 2 year old in a double bed straight from the crib? We plan on installing a bed rail. I also plan on sleeping with him on occasion as to not wake my husband up if younger sibling wakes in the night and needs me, as little man would sleep through a full on rave.
