I'd gotten the co-sleeper, but then decided that it just wasn't quite close enough. My daughter marathon nursed in the first few months, and slept like a champ. When she started rooting around and waking up too frequently to be getting enough sleep, we gently transitioned her to her own room with plenty of cuddle time and contact with us, and she's never experienced any problems with sleep. Part of me realizes that we're lucky, in that she's incredibly agreeable anyway, but I have to believe in part that "setting" her little internal clock to sleep at night when we did set a pattern that ended up being very healthy for her later.

I slept in my parents' bed when I was small, and I'm not that old! It's natural and bond-building. The trouble with today's society is that they try to make kids grow up too fast. Let them sleep in their parents' bed for a while, it helps build the family relationships that can last a lifetime. Ancestors? I slept in my parents’ bed when I was small, and I’m not that old!
