Cot to bed!

We talk through all aspects of the transition from cot to bed including: 

  • What age is typical for a little one to be ready to make the move. 
  • Some signs which might indicate that your little one is ready!  
  • How to handle the move from a cot to a bed if you have a new sibling on the way. 
  • What you should do if you are about to move house (ignore Becks’s misguided wisdom on this one!). 
  • How to prepare children for moving from cot to bed. 
  • Making the bedroom safe – what is good to do? 
  • The big day – what happens?? 
  • Bed guards, duvets and pillows etc. 
  • And finally...what to do if your little one keeps getting out of bed!

About the Podcast

Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between
Your go-to for advice on how to communicate with the children in your life. Brought to you by family consultancy Bespoke Family, enabling families to thrive
Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here! The perfect parent doesn't exist, but in their family consultancy business Bespoke Family, Becks and Claire believe that a child centred approach which recognises and respects individuality is the best way to enable families to thrive. Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
Subscribe to Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - new episodes every fortnight, to help you get the best out of your time with the children in your life.
