Manage Toddlers Climbing Out Safely
- Prioritize child safety by adjusting the crib or switching to a toddler bed if your child climbs out.
- Balance meeting your child's needs with protecting sleep for the whole family to manage night waking.
Development Is Non-Linear
- Child development is not linear; new skills can disrupt previously mastered behaviors like sleep.
- Regression or changes often reflect developmental bursts, not permanent setbacks.
Break Nighttime Habits With Limits
- Avoid giving toddlers TV or food in the middle of the night to prevent reinforcing waking behaviors.
- Use cozy sleep sacks and lower mattress heights to safely extend crib use for climbing toddlers.
