Converting crib to toddler bed - need help
My 3 year old slept nicely in her toddler bed (w the rail) the first night but the last 2 nights, she will not go to sleep in it. She will let me tuck her in, but then gets up & looks to come in our bed no matter how tired she is.
What can I Do? Need advice. Thanks

Keep walking her back. Over and over and over. Explain your bed is for mommy and daddy and that bed is for her. Over and over. Once you start the habit of letting them in your bed it's much harder to get them out.

Get a sleep training clock. We use the my tot clock. You program colors for times. Bedtime. Time to wake, etc. Dd1 knows she cannot come out until the light turns yellow in the morning. It's worked so well that eventually she started sleeping later and later and now I need to wake her for school!

I totally agree! DS likes to come into our bed at night, but we just keep bringing him back to his room. I've threatened to give him back his crib on bad nights!
