1. Free Toddler Beds
--------------------------------------------------------
roseellen - 3/2/2015 10:24 pm

 We're done with our toddler beds. They're well-worn,
 having come from another set of twins. They've got
 stickers and scratches. The drawers on the bottom
 didn't work well, though someone who is handy could
 probably make them work. Color is espresso. We don't
 have the mattresses, but they use regular crib sized
 mattresses. They're Pali convertible beds - but they
 can't be used as cribs. We don't have the parts, and
 they were not drop down. They're already disassembled
 for easy transport. I would like to get rid of them
 this week. If I don't have any takers here by Wed I'll
 put on CL.

 We dropped the bottles right around 1 year, but just
 replaced them with sippy cups. It took a few days for
 them to really get comfortable with milk in the
 sippies, but then we kept that routine of first thing
 in the morning and last thing in the evening for
 another year or more. I didn't give the kids milk with
 meals, because I felt like that might end up with them
 drinking too much milk, and I wanted them to focus more
 on solids. I read that past one year, kids should be
 getting 16-24 oz of milk. So we did water with meals,
 and then an 8 oz sippy in the morning and another one
 in the evening.The transition was pretty easy because
 it wasn't a big change in routine - just in hardware.
 =) The hardest adjustment was brushing teeth after the
 sippy cup, since the bottle had always been sort of a
 soothing, last thing before bed activity, and taking
 them into the bathroom to brush teeth definitely woke
 them back up, if they had been at all sleepy. But we
 adjusted. I think we read stories while they had the
 milk, then brushed teeth, then turned off the light and
 sang songs. I also liked the milk first thing in the
 morning because it let me put off breakfast for a
 little while - it gave me time for us all to get up,
 get dressed, get situated, etc., without the kids
 freaking out from hunger. Now at 3.75 they still
 occasionally ask for a cup of warm milk on weekend
 mornings. =)
