Montessori Floor Beds: Freedom for Toddlers, Sanity for Parents

Описание: I read about Montessori floor beds during pregnancy and loved the idea of supporting free movement and independence. But it didn't feel safe until they could crawl confidently.

For the first 8 months, we all slept in the same room, them in cribs, us getting up constantly. Exhausting doesn't even cover it.

At 9 months we moved house and they got their own room. They had just mastered crawling, so we tried floor beds.

The change was immediate.

They had freedom to move, roll, and find comfortable sleep positions. If they weren't ready to sleep, they could play quietly.

Within one week, night feeds completely disappeared. One month later, even late night feeds were gone.

Here's the game-changer: Early wake-ups used to mean we ALL got up. Before 6am calls for help, everyone awake, day starting way too early.

After floor beds? They wake early but play quietly until our 7am wake time. We still monitor them, but as long as they're content, we get those precious extra hours of sleep.

Was the transition perfect? No.
The first few nights they explored more than slept. But once the novelty wore off, they settled into the most peaceful sleep routine we've ever had.
Floor beds gave them freedom and gave us our sanity back.

What's holding you back from trying a floor bed?
