she just climbed out of her crib!!!!!!!! Help! WWYD

OK, I am freaking out. DD is 2 years 3 months. She was playing in her crib after her nap, and the next think I know, she's in the living room with me!

I can't believe she did that. Thank Gd she didn't get hurt, but now what?????????

What do we do tonight? Do we have to take the side off an and make it a toddler bed tonight? We don't have a guard. Do we have to buy the one that goes with the crib or is there a universal one we can What do we do? I also seriously doubt my DH and I can figure out how to take the thing off tonight.

OMG. I cannot believe this just happened. I thought we had another year of the crib!

WWYD????

you could buy a crib tent to stall until you feel more comfortable converting to a toddler bed.

Crib Tent

HTH!

I would try to turn it into a toddler bed tonight and buy a rail (they're pretty much universal) -- God forbid she tries to climb out at night and gets hurt.

The first night DS climbed out of his crib, he did it 4 times that day. That night I sat in his room until he went to sleep. Then 2 days later, Dh converted it to a toddler bed.

Same here, that was about a month ago and he hasn't attempted it since. I tried not to make a big deal about it so he would hopefully forget about it.

Oh, I remember the first time my DD did that. She was in her sister's crib. (DD1 was 19mths, DD2 must have been 6 mths or so). I was changing DD2 on the floor next to the crib. Next thing I know, DD1 is on top of DD2. DD1 jumped out of the crib and landed on DD2 right in front of me!

I hoped it would be the one time, but she was thrilled and kept doing it. We converted to toddler bed the next day.

DD2 got a toddler bed before she was able to get out, and a regular twin shortly after.

Same here!! She did it only once about 6 months ago when she really didn't want to nap but if she's tired she won't try it.

Toddler bed with rail. it's not worth it to risk her getting hurt. I think 2 yrs 3 mos is def an acceptable age for the toddler bed.
