 Transitioning from Bed to X-Pen in Another Room
Another situation I’d like some help on is transitioning my boys from sleeping in my bed, to sleeping in an x-pen when I’m at my boyfriend’s house. I want to do this for a couple reasons - #1 being he doesn’t want them to sleep in the bed with us, #2 – his bed is WAY too high and he has hardwood floors and I’m afraid that if they jumped off the wrong way they could seriously hurt themselves and #3 – his bedroom is too small and so they will have to sleep in another part of the house (either a spare bedroom or basement). I’d also prefer another room because with the slightest movement they get so excited and think I’m waking up and want to go outside and be fed and I want them to learn how to wait.
My question is what’s the best way to make this transition? I’m currently putting them in the x-pen at night at my place in my bedroom… They’re doing ok with it, but seems like when they can’t see me if I put them in another room they whine and bark for hours! Any suggestions? |
