Jenna Bush Hager's Son Hal Moves to 'Big Boy Bed' Amid Mom-Shaming Backlash

The transition occurred while Bush Hager was quarantined, leading her to reflect on her parenting style.

  • Jenna Bush Hager's 4-year-old son Hal has moved from his crib to a 'big boy bed', a decision he made on his own.
  • Bush Hager faced criticism in October 2023 when she revealed on air that Hal was still sleeping in his crib.
  • The transition happened while Bush Hager was quarantined due to COVID-19, leading her to question if she had been too overbearing.
  • Experts suggest that children should move from a crib to a bed between the ages of 1.5 and 3.5, but safety and the child's readiness are the top priorities.
  • Bush Hager's co-host Hoda Kotb supported the decision, stating that what matters is that the child is ready, not the age at which the transition happens.
