I’m using pack n plays because my plan is to transition all of my toddlers at the same time into a different part of my house for cot napping. They are all around 18 months except for my one newborn and the rest do great in pack n plays. I’ll definitely consider switching her before the others though.
I’ll keep with it! She’s a wonderful girl...very smart and I really enjoy having her!
I would maybe try switching her to a cot or nap mat now if that is what she is used to. I recently switched a child to a toddler bed from a pack n play. If he starts acting up I go in, say nothing, pick him up and take him to the room with the pack n plays place him down and tell him night night. Boy does he get ticked! I let him scream for a minute or two, go in, crouch down and ask him if he’s ready to nap like a big boy. Then I walk him back to his big boy bed, say night night and he’s out like a light. I kind of saw this with my niece when I switched her as well. Once they have been granted access to the big kid room they hate the idea of being back in a pack n play at daycare.
