[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 62035, member: 1991"] What about putting the crib side down, but blocking it with a cargo net or similar? He can more safely climb out (it might encourage him to get him self out of bed) or you could show him where he could undo it and slip out the end, maybe. It's finding that middle ground where he still feels safe sleeping there, but also feels he's where he always has been. Sounds like he has a big problem with change, as well as needing to feel secure. If he takes to the toddler bed OK, it might be the best option. How quickly/easily does the cot turn into a bed? Could you show him this while he's NOT expecting to immediately go back to bed, so he can have a bit of a play in HIS cot/bed (currently a bed) so he can get a bit more used to it? If he knows you'll t urn it back again when he asks you to, he might feel more comfortable with coming to you later and saying, "Can I try my cot as a bed again for a little while?" Getting slowly used to it during waking hours could be a cheaper option, to buying a new bed. Alternatively, you might be able to borrow a toddler bed. Marg [/QUOTE]
