Don’t Lose Sleep Over Transitioning to a Toddler Bed — Follow These Expert-Approved Tips

If your toddler has a nightmare or is sick, it's definitely OK to go in their room and comfort them. Don't expect them to keep up the same routine if they're scared or not feeling good. "If a child is having night terrors or nightmares or other sleep challenges, they need your presence and support at night," said Dr. Talib.

Discuss any concerns you have with your pediatrician, so they can make sure your transition process is going smoothly and safely, or reach out to a child sleep specialist for more tips.
