hi, yes you should purchase something like a baby monitor in order to listen to every movement. my daughter sleeps in my bed sometimes and she is 2 yrs old but she can't fall out if she's at the top of the bed because i got thinking good and thought put my bed next to the wall so she can't fall out and the other side, i will put the cot there, so im happy about this because she hasn't falled out! :)

Well I am probably a bit late now because you probably have it all worked out. My youngest child is nearly two and we have recently put him in a bed. The first few nights he didn't roll out, but then one night he did, so I put a pillow next to him about half an hour later he rolled out again, so I got a spare quilt and rolled it up next to him. He didn't fall out again. The next night we decided to tuck a pillow under his mattress and that seemed to work too.

Do you have a baby listner, the 1st night my daughter sleep in the bed i could not sleep. I actually lifted her into my bed and let her sleep there, which was a bad idea as she never wants to sleep in her own bed now. Just keep a lookout and everything will be ok and make sure you try and get some sleep because i bet your little one will be.

Not really any tips, just be ready with open arms for hugs incase it happens! When my son 1st went into a bed from a cot I remember he lured me into a false sense of security, was fine the 1st few nights, but then after that he fell out every night for a few days. Luckily he's always seemed to have a sense of humour and found it highly amusing!
