does your kids still sleeps in your bedroom?

My 21 month old is still in his own bed in my bedroom but usually sneaks in my bed before morning. Mostly it's because at the moment we don't have an extra room for him to have on his own and his slightly older brothers' room is too small for another bed. I think very young babies should stay close to their parents, at least in the same room if not in the same bed. My youngest slept me me most nights when he was newborn. If he wasn't in my bed he was in his Moses basket right beside my bed within arm's reach.

our baabies slept with us in a bassinett in our room for the first 3 months. then after that we always put them into a crib in there room. i think its more about what you feel comfortable with, and not on set rules.

I have no kids yet but i do have my step son 3 days a week with us. He is 8 yrs old. n he still sleep in our room, he's got his own little bed right next to our bed. We are also ttc of our own, also we plan to have our kids sleep with us in our room. And I am living in US.

My daughter is almost 8 months old, and she still sleeps in bed with me and her father. Since she was born she has slept with me. I started it because her father had to work early in the morning, so i slept on the couch with her so he could get some sleep. A lot of ppl tell me that it is unhealthy, but as long as she is sleeping all night. it doesn't bother me. I am the biggest freak about SIDS since she was born.. so I refuse to put her in her own room, she will sleep in our bedroom until i feel comfortable.

hi.. My 9 year old and the baby sleeps with me..The eldest on his own bed at the far side of the room, the baby and me sleeps in one large bed adjacent to my eldest. The 9 year old is scared to sleep in a different room and frequently have nightmares..The baby, i sometimes let sleep in his playpen or crib but once awake, i put him beside me..Seems, we three cannot sleep properly if we can't feel each other's body..They feel comfortable and safe when arms are crossing... They said that sooner or later, my 9 year old has to sleep in his own room..That time will come, i think, when he's ready..I dont wanna push him because he's so scared to be alone right now.. As for the baby, some people say that I will have a hard time letting him go or him being away from me, because of co-sleeping...I don't care for now, because I am comfortable in this set.. When my hubby is home for the night, the baby sleeps in the crib...

Yes but the reason is that kid get feared and they need love . They might feel alone when they are in the bed next morning. so the small kids should be kept themselves with the parents . They have to educate them by telling the success stories about the famous people.

Our four children have seplt in our bedroom. child one slept in our bedroom for about two months. child two slept in our room for about four months and then we moved from our two bed flat to a house so he went into his own room. We then had twins, a girl and a boy, they stayed in our room until the boy was about a year old (due to feeding etc) he then moved into a room with this brother. we had no where for our little girl to sleep as our eldest daughter was 11 and you can't really expect a 11 year old girl to share with a baby. so until we got bedroom number 4 built our little daughter slpet in our bedroom until she was three years old. she was very good and it didn't bother my husband or me. I think on a whole in england i think babies sleep in the same room as hte parents for about four months, but it is really down to the parents as to waht they want to do. There is no real correct answer, just what is best for you. none of our children have ever come and got in to bed with us at all, they stay in there own bedrooms.

My son was sleeping in his own room the first night home. He has never slept in my room or in my bed. I think it makes children more apt to become "attatched" to their parents in an unhealthy way. I understand some people do allow their kids to sleep with them but my son is almost 2 and isn't afraid of the dark and loves his alone time. He also doesn't have any problems with babysitters getting him take naps.

Kid of little age requires lot of help while in sleeping also. I think untill the kids are able to take care of them self they should sleep with us in our own bedroom. After attaining the age in high school they may be advised to sleep in the separate room. One more difficulty is this every one can not afford to have separate bed room for each child. and In case of working couples if the apartment or house where they live are not sufficient bed rooms to house each children in separate room. The negative point to sleep the children in parents bed room is that the IQ of the children is some time sharp and they view and watch each and every activity of the parents as is said that kids learns initially from the parents. They can adopt wrong things when they see their parents in compromising position and any thing worse can take place. This is my personal opinion. Please discuss more.

yes, she sleep alone just recently. because she use internet at night until midnight. its disturbing my sleep. thats why she decided to sleep in her own room. hahah blessing in disguise.

My daughter is 5 and sleeps in her own room but shares it with my mom. I would like to see her in her room by herself but after seeing how the native americans used to live on a recent trip, I realized just how lucky people are now a days with having their own room. The natives used to sleep in a common area with more then one family. The young would sleep with their family until they were married. Like the old saying goes, it takes a community to raise a child. I used to have a problem with her having to sleep with someone else in the room but now my eyes have opened and it's not so bad. She'll probably turn out to be a more well rounded, responsible and family oriented person then most other children who were forced to sleep alone. If she wants her Nana sleeping with her until she is a teen, then so be it. I don't see anything wrong with it and I don't see how it hurts the child.

My daughter slept in the same room with us in her own crib until she was 3 months old - then we moved out into a bigger place, and she was in her own room. We had no problems getting her to sleep alone. I was able to nurse my son, so he actually slept in our bed for the first 8 months - then in bassinet in our room, which was a hard adjustment for him - he would wake up as soon as we put him down! Then his first night in his own room in 10 months was not so fun - after that it was okay. The earlier you can get your child to sleep on their own, the better off ALL of you will be...but that largely depends on what YOU are comfortable with. Just know that the longer you wait to put them in their own beds, the harder it will be. It's easier for children to learn to sleep by themselves and comfort themselves when they are younger, even though we want to do that for them, we have to consider what is best for them long term. Good luck when you have kids; I'm sure you'll make the right choice for your family.

my 3 yr old daughter sleeps on her own, but my 17 month old son still sleeps with me because i dont have another room available, but im thinking of getting a small toddler bed for him before he turns 2.

My babies always had their own bed and were in their own room when we lived in a house that had enough bedrooms for them to have one of their own. My girls shared a bed room as did my boys. They never slept with us because they wiggled too much. When I came to live with my son and cared for his children they would come get in bed with me when it lightened and thundered. My own kids weren't scared by the storms but the grandkids were until they were close to their teens. Now they are all grown up and too big to climb in bed with me and I miss that snuggling.

I kept my kids in my room when they were first born until they were 3 months old. That is it! After that, they went into their own bedrooms. I don't believe in having my child sleep in bed with my husband and myself. I think it is important to get kids in their own rooms for a better night sleep for everyone.

My kids are 6 and 2 and they still sleep with us. I have been telling my daughter (aged 6) that she should be able to sleep in a separate room but she wouldn't hear of it. Even on our bed she is afraid to sleep in one corner and wants to be in the middle. We don't allow it but that is what she still wants. I slept with my parents until I was 14 and had to stay up at night to study. It was only then that my parents slept in a different room and I in another. So, this is not new to me. But I want my children to be brave and not be scared of going to bed alone. Eventually I know they will have a separate room but God knows when .

When my boys were just tiny babies, they would sleep in a crib in my room. When and as they got older, they woudld fall asleep with me watching TV. Hubby would come home from work and take them into thier rooms to sleep for the rest of the night. I have four boys, so I couldn't have all of them sleep all night in my room. Each would pick either and arm or a leg to sleep on and I couldn't move at all.

Hi , You are right it is not as common over here in the usa , but it still happens My parents always told me I woul climb out of my crib and go and join them in the big bed , and same with my brother . It was never a big deal and sometimes as little kids we would fall asleep in parents beds while watching a movie . It is up to the parent I think , but I wont mind if my kids wanna .

In my country it is very usual that our kid sleeping with us in our bed room. But for my wife and me, we start to encourage our kid to sleep alone in his own bed room since last year when he just two years old, and some of our family had shock about it. Just one problem, about 2 or 3 am, he will call me and I have no choice but to sleep with him in his room,leaving my wife sleep alone until morning...
