How Long Should Babies Sleep With Parents? According to new research, babies should continue to sleep with their parents until they reach the age of three. I am sure there will be many who will jump at this and there will be a lot of arguments back and forth.
Sleep with baby, let baby cry it out, let baby sleep in cot, let baby sleep in the cot in another room, no soft toys and soft bedding for baby, don't let baby sleep on his back. Respond to baby, no don't respond to baby immediately.........
There is so much information and plenty of advise on what to do and what NOT to do. It can be daunting and scary for parents.
I feel how long a child should sleep with you is ultimately your personal choice. In fact, many parenting solutions and choices are up to you and your family. Whatever feels right for you and your family and your circumstances is right. You should not be pressured either way. Make your own decisions but arm yourself with knowledge before making those decisions.
Here are some latest news about cosleeping and baby sleep guidelines. However be warned, there is a lot of information out there. At the end of the day we must do what we feel is best for baby while keeping baby safe.

ReplyDeleteMy boy who will be turning 5 next year is still sleeping with us in our room. I figured he won't be doing that when he's 18 (right?) so might as well enjoy it while I can.
ReplyDeletehow does your significant other feel about not getting "adult time" because your 5 year old is still sleeping with you?
