Sleep help!!

DD is now 20 months and she used to sleep beautifully - we would put her in the crib awake and she'd fall asleep. This past week she would start crying and cling to us when we tried to put her in the crib. If we let her sleep on the floor and we "slept" with her, she would fall asleep until the next morning. What am I supposed to do? Move her to a toddler bed/twin bed? Or is this a phase? TIA!

ETA: even though the crib is at the lowest setting, she's climbed out every night this past week, which is why we've let her sleep on the floor.

I would definitely 100% move her to a toddler bed. This was EXACTLY us a year ago. This went on for months, and got progressively worse. One day it hit us to try converting his crib to a toddler bed. It was literally like a seitch was flipped. He never gave us an issue again. I wish we had thought it months earlier!!

Whew! I wasn't sure if it was too early or if we were "giving" in but she's screaming nooooo for the last hour....

I plan on switching DD to a twin at 20 months (we are expecting a second baby) so I don't think it's too early at all. It seems like she's ready!

Congrats!! We're expecting a second baby too so we also thought it would be good timing!
