How to get a toddler to sleep in a toddler bed?

We moved a few weeks ago and just ordered a toddler bed which should be here in a week. My child has not slept in their crib because we had to throw it away before we moved because it was falling apart. They have been co-sleeping with me and their dad in our bed. Which if your going to say I’m a horrible parent and tell me how I shouldn’t be doing that, you can just forget it! I am asking for advice NOT criticism.

So once the bed arrives how can we get the toddler to sleep in it and to stay in their room?

How can I get parts for my Safety 1st baby toy?

The tractor that plays nursery rhyme songs and sits on top of the circular, Farm -themed, two-leveled baby seat and play center that was manufatured about three years ago stopped playing when my granddaughter threw up on it and I washed it under running water. My husband replaced the batteries, but it still won’t work.

A close friend recently had her baby shower and afterward I asked what she still needs and she said she doesn’t have a baby bag. She specified that she has a diaper bag already, but not a baby bag.

Is this weird? I feel that my toddler is safe in the crib rather than a toddler bed or regular bed because she can’t go wondering around during nap town or bed time. I feel that if I put my child to sleep during nap times or bed time in a bed, she would go near the windows or remove the outlet covers and harm herself. Is this normal thinking? Please help as I do want to feel comfortable making this transition for my toddler.

Huggies came out with a jeans theme of diapers and a special edition limited time wipe cover. I want to see if anyone has found or made a pattern using yarn to recreate a baby wipe cover. By either knitting it or crocheting it.

Can I clean my phone and computer with baby wipes?

My computer screen has theses little spots on it, but you can only see it when the computer screen is off. So can I use a baby wipe to clean it or will that mess it up?

Also, I have a touch screen phone so it has a bunch of finger prints all over it. Sometimes if I just blow on it and use a tissue it works, but doesn’t completely clean it… Would a baby wipe damage it?
And if I shouldn’t use a baby wipe, any other suggestions would be great!

At what age do kids start using toddler bed?

I have a 6 month old girl and just found out I am pregnant again :) I’d like the newborn to use a bassinet by me for a while and then move to the crib. When baby #2 is born my daughter will be just over 1 year. Should I buy a toddler bed for her, another crib, or what?

Thanks in advance for all the postive feedback!
