Changing to toddler bed

Al

Hi mommas! My son will be 20 months when baby#2 is born. I can't decide if I should buy another crib convertible ($$) for the new baby... or switch my 20 month old to a toddler bed (cheaper) and give the new baby the crib?! What would you do?

Another random question: how often do you brush your 1 year old's teeth? I want to do it twice a day but I seem to only do it once a day... and I forget OFTEN.

Oh yeah and for teeth brushing. I definitely do it every night before bed. I try to do every morning too but sometimes forget.

My son will be 22 months when baby #2 arrives. I’d like to keep him in his crib for as long as possible. Recommendations say 2.5-3 years. So I’ll be getting another crib.

Thanks everyone for your responses! Since baby will probably be in our room until 4 months, I will just wait it out and see if my toddler is ready for a bed. If not, maybe keep the baby in a pack and play a little longer. Trial and error I guess!

Our daughter will also be 20 months when her little sibling arrives. We'll have the baby in a pack n play in our room for a few months. Hopefully we can move to a toddler bed around her birthday 😊

Same! I'll have my babies when my son is about 21 months and I was debating the same thing. I'm gping to wait it out as long as possible to see if hes really ready for a toddler bed. But I think I'd like to switch him and re-use the crib. I for sure always get in 1 teeth brushing...2 occassionally when I can (and remember)!
