| I think that kids should sleep on their own bed. Especial the infant that can get hurt. Have you told them how you feel? When they want the kids not sleeping with them, they will have a hard time getting them to sleep on their own. ↑ |

I sleep with my 5 week old in the bed with me and her daddy. she sleeps on my side though and I'm in the middle. I"m a very light sleeper and I know for a fact that I wouldn't roll over on her. I either sleep on my back or on my side and I only sleep on my side that faces her......can't sleep with my back to her it drives me crazy not to see her. We have tight fitted sheets and there's no comforter on the bed. Since it's summer we use a sheet to cover up with but it doesn't go over the baby. and I have her lower on the bed so that she's not up against my pillow.
Now I've read that sleeping with the baby increases sids and also that the toddler and the infant definately should NOT be in the same bed!
It's just a decision that the parents have to make. For me it works, but I'm not sure on the 2 year old and if he sleeps by the baby? That would be a no no. ↑ |

| I slept with both kate and Mike. I sept in the spare bedroom and my hubby worked nights. It was nice I got better sleep I would nurse the babes and go back to sleep. this went on for about 4-6 months. ↑ |

| I slept with both of mine, and still do. The oldest would not take naps unless I did, and I worked nights so I really needed him to. What I did is put his head in the crook of my arm and lay on my side, so I could not roll over. Co sleeping is a big in thing nowadays. I would suggest googling it and getting different ideas and perspectives. ↑ |

| We never did this with the kids when they were babies, but when I was preg. with Megan and my husband would work nights I would let Alexis sleep with me she was about 1 1/2 years. I was paranoid at the time and just felt better with her with me. BIGGEST MISTAKE!!!!! She is almost three, and she will not go to bed and when we do get her in there when she is awake, she will come in our bed after awhile. My stepson goes to bed when he is told and me baby Megan goes in her crib at 8pm while she is awake and just rolls over and goes to sleep. Alexis will stay up all night. I realized the mistake I made with Alexis and didn't do it with Megan. We sleep trained her. ↑ |

| In my opinion children should sleep in their own rooms/beds. When my daughter moved from a basinet to a crib, she was in her own room. She has never slept in our bed after the first few months, and we never had an issue with her not going to sleep or sleeping alone. Parents complain that their children do not go to sleep when it is bed time or have a problem sleeping in their own beds, but then I hear it's because they usually sleep with them? I never understood that. If you get them use to being in their own beds at an early age, then it is all they know. I am just against co-sleeping after the first few months. But I agree, I would want my baby with me in the beginning. ↑ |

| There is alot of controversial info about cosleeping, Farah said she read cosleeping increases risks of SIDS, I have read the opposite because baby hears mom breathing and it reminds baby to breathe as well. I believe its only an issue when parents have been drinking or taking any meds. My little ones sleep with me a lot, I agree that when they are older its harder to get them into their own bed but its a personal decision. I do not think you should express your opinion with your daughter unless you have a very open relationship and she doesn't mind your advice, I personally hate it when others, even my mom tell me how I should raise my children. In my opinion they are only little for a very short time, you should enjoy it while you can, one day you go from being the best, smartest person in the world, to someone they don't want to be seen walking down the street with. ↑ |

| I think it is a preffrance. If a parant finds comfort in having their child sleep with them.... then fine have them sleep with you. I do agree that it does made most kids not want to sleep in their own beds. Now what happens when you would like a little romance and little junior is taking a fit because he doesnt want to go to his own bed. Well it sure would make a great birth controle LOL! unless you are the couple who take a quick time out in the rest rm...you know what I mean LOL LOL! I personaly never had my daughter sleep with me, oohh sure on an occasion I would... if there was a storm or she had a nightmare. If mom & dad has no problem with it then I dont think any one else should eather. I dont care if some one else has all 10 of their kids in their bed... as long as I dont have to sleep there lol lol! ↑ |

| My son slept in his own bed until we moved into a new house and he was scared. We put up with it for about six months and I finally decided that our room should just be a place for me and my husband to be alone away from the kids. He cried for weeks on end but finally he got the picture. He is now three and we find him on the couch every morning. ↑ |

| My son is three and he will go to sleep in his own bed but every morning we wake up and he is in bed with us. He slept in our room as an infant due to problems he had when he was born, so when he was two we had to start making him sleep in his own room and bed finally. So we are still working on that obviously but getting there! ↑ |
