13 month old wont sleep

FWIW, all of mine transitioned to beds between 18 and 24ish
months, and I didn't spend any time bringing them back to their
beds. Just wasn't an issue.

But I'd bet that yours were sleeping through the night by the time you moved
them to a bed. The OP is having trouble with night waking so I don't really
think that's the best time to move to a bed. JMO, of course.

We switched Colin from a cosleeper to a mattress in his own room at around
14 months, at which point he was still waking frequently at night (that was
the reason for the change, we hoped he might sleep better if he wasn't
disturbed by our sleep noises). So far, he doesn't seem to realise that he
*can* get up at night! On the (thankfully now very rare) occasions when he
does wake and want someone, he calls/cries. He is in a sleeping bag, but
he's perfectly capable of moving around in it, and often does before
bedtime. Hope I haven't jinxed myself by saying this!

I missed the original, but in case our situation was actually very similar
to the OPs: our hope that switching rooms would help didn't work, he kept
waking just as before. A few months later, though, he quite suddenly
started to wake less, without our changing anything, and sleeping through
the night became the norm over the course of a fortnight or so. I just
shrug my shoulders and say "developmental", I suppose...
