Transitioning from a cot into a bed is a pretty big milestone in a toddler's (and parent's) life, which can seem daunting. As the arrival of our second daughter was quickly approaching we knew we needed to get Isabella out of her nursery bedroom and into her 'big girl' room. Preparing and decorating her new bedroom was a bit of a project, so with only a few weeks until my due date there was a real rush to get her settled. This isn't ideal and is against all the advice I read about how to not make any big changes within three months either side of introducing a new baby into the family. But it was the way it had to be and we had to make it work.
