| My daughter slept with us from the day she was born. most nights she would start out in her own bed and sometime during the night she would end up in our bed. I wouldn't change a thing, they are little only once. I think we will do the same thing with our next one. |

| i do not agree with it. I think that it sets up problems for the future. i am happy that it is working out for anne....but at 8 years old when their child stillcan only sleep with mom and dad they will have a harder habbit to break. Also...what about alone time for mom and dad...is there none? Thats private space. |

| With both of my kids I made a point to have them start the night in their own bed but when they woke up to nurse and be changed I would bring them into my bed. Eventually they slept through the night and dont come in my bed unless they are sick. It was a special bonding time for me having my children sleep next to me. |

| That is such a tricky question to answer, when we brought Allen home from the hospital he slept in the bassinet at the side of the bed so that I did not have to go downstairs to nurse, then he got COLIC and after several weeks of having to sleep in the rocking chair (still moving) I took him to bed with me, we also did not use a pacifier so he ended up using me for one (boy the things you learn with the first one). Well it became a nightly habit that I finally had to break at 6 months old but I have to admit that I still enjoy taking occasional naps with him in my bed (he will be three in Feb) I guess it comes down to what is right for your child and your family, we are all different. |

| i think that this depends on the family and the circumstances, my daughter slept with us for the first 4 months and moved to her crib in our room, then my job had me working about 60+ hours a week, and she began not to sleep through the night anymore, so i could get sleep she slept in our bed again, then i left my full time job and we had to move to my parents house for a while and didnt have the room for her crib so shes still sleeping in our bed, shes now 15 months, and we just moved to our own place, and were trying to devise a plan to get her back to her own bed... any suggestions?? |

| I am all for it as long as it's done responsibly. We used a bassinet similiar to a co-sleeper....our son was at arms reach to me the whole night, with no fear of us rolling over onto him. He'd wake up to nurse, and I'd just bring him right to my breast. We moved him to his own crib/room around 4 months old when he got too big for the bassinet, and I'd go into his room to nurse/rock him back to sleep before placing him in his crib. |

| I loved letting them sleep with us when they were new born and nursing but when they were around 6 months we decided that none us were sleeping very good so off to their crib they went and I even allowed one to sleep with me at almost a year but if you wait to put them in their own bed after a year is is very difficult. My sisters daughter was 7 or 8 when they finally got her out of the bed with them and many sleepless nights of her screaming and sneaking back into bed with them. |

| My husband decided that our son was "afraid of the dark" when we first came home from the hospital. So he slept in our bed until he was about 6 months. Now he won't even lay down to take a nap with me. He wants his own space. |
