Changing your child from a crib to a toddler bed can cause some sleep disturbances. It might cause the child to wake up more frequently. However, the time will come that you will have to make the switch. Better to have a fussy toddler than one that is getting injuries due to crawling out of the crib.
Once a child begins climbing out of the crib and/or reaches the height of 36 inches, it's time to make the change. Some people find that their child never climbs out of the crib, while others have problems early on. However, if your child is over 36 inches tall, he/she is really too big for a crib. It might be best to buy a crib that changes into a toddler bed. Then the child doesn’t feel that he/she is completely losing the bed that they came to love.
