Full time in his bed

Well its been two nights so far that Alex has been in a bed. First night he ended up with us from about 2am.....but only coz I kept falling asleep instead of putting him back to bed after his cuddles!
And his second night he slept all night without even stirring.
Now I'm wondering if I should even bother setting up my second cot in his new room?
What do you ladies reckon?
I think so far I'm having more problems with him being in a bed than he is. I walked into his old room & saw his empty cot last night and had a little cry. Man talk about wimpy but just not really ready for my "baby" to grow up

I dont think I woudl bother putting up the second cot, he seems to be handling it so far and its only been a couple of nights so tahts great. I cried when we put Kobe into a big bed then cried when we took down his cot he on the other hand wouldnt have a bar of his cot once his big bed was up even though we were just going to wean him into it.

Alex has been sleeping in a bed during the day for a long time now, but I have been putting the night time sleeps off....
Well I think I might not bother putting the second cot up. I am a little worried he might take a step back when the baby arrives but I have a portacot that only takes a minute to set up if I have a problem.
Did anyone have trouble with their kids when a new baby arrived?? I tell Alex he has a new brother coming but I'm pretty sure he doesn't understand yet. He is a real Daddy's boy so I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem?

Hey Nikki, I started off with the day sleeps with Alex so maybe you could try that? I found I had to time it right, so when I put him in bed he had to "want" to go to sleep otherwise he was straight back out again. I think Hannah is only about a week younger than Alex isn't she?
Oh and the duvet sounds very cute! I got Alex a Holden set for his bed

Well the third night was another problem-free night. I just can't believe how well this is going! I just hope it keeps going this well!
And then the next step is potty training...........Hope that goes this well too!

Lol Nikki, I've gone a little bit overboard on bedding myself....I'm abit of a Holden nut so my boy has Holden sheets & I just bought him a Holden Monaro duvet off Trademe
Luckily the bed didn't cost me anything, yay thankyou Mum!
Ahhhhhh well!! I will have to put a pic up when his room is all done
Had yet another great night. I'm kind of wondering what I was so worried about with putting him in a bed. The only thing I've decided to stick with is the side rail which came with the bed otherwise I'm sure he would have rolled off since he is such a wriggly worm.

I think "maybe" the reason it is going so well is I've been really picking up on when he wants to go to bed. Like, he is isn't too tired & he isn't still on the go.

Hehe I'm kind of scared of putting a pic of my belly up!! If you look at it from the side it looks at least half as big as my exercise ball.....And I'm not kidding

Sounds like you have it sussed out for the bed. Alex has fallen off my bed many a time and he has hit my bedside table on the way to the floor too. NOT good
I'm glad for the side rail but if I didn't have one I would be using his cot mattress too.

toni,Xander was almost exactly the same age as Alex when we wentcold turkey with his big boy bed I was around the 34ish week mark with harms too.

Xander never made a fuss when harms was born cos i thnk he loved his bed too much lol.great to hear Alex has been doing so well tho

oh toni...can you feel the pressure!
i feel a belly pic coming on....
