Does my toddler need a Montessori floor bed?

Does my toddler need a Montessori floor bed?
When I was first learning about Montessori, one of the first concepts I discovered was the "floor bed." At the time, I had my one year old sleeping in a crib and I didn't dare make the switch and mess up his sleep habits. (Silly me!) It took me awhile to get enough information about the floor bed, why it is important, and why it was worth it. By the time, I did, I had a two year old. I think many people end up in a similar situation, and wonder at this point if they should move their toddler into a floor bed.

Current Montessori Baby Inspiration

Earlier this week, we had our anatomy scan for baby 4. I'm happy to report that everything looked just as it should and baby was healthy. We also learned that we are expecting another boy - Theodore Ignatius! Since baby Teddy/Ted/Theo/Theodore (we'll figure it out eventually - haha) is baby 4 and a second boy in a row there's really not much that we need to get to prepare for baby. But, that hasn't stopped me from looking around and finding all sorts of Montessori baby inspiration.
