What if my child falls asleep on the floor?

Sometimes kids fall asleep on the floor during this process. This typically only happens during the first night or so.

After they are asleep, if you'd like to move them to their bed without waking them up, go ahead and do it. Or you can let them stay asleep on the floor - they may wake up and move to their bed by themselves.

If, after 3 nights, you have been moving your child back to their bed and they are still falling asleep on the floor, I recommend you leave them on the floor for a night.

Kids will learn to make the right choice for themselves - stay in bed or sleep on the floor. If they continue to do it and you continue to help them, it may be becoming a game to them. In that case, the best thing to do is let them make their own choice of where to sleep.

Be okay with them choosing the floor for a night or two knowing that this won't last forever and they will eventually choose to stay in their bed.
