re: OT Parents: Best Advice/Things You Wish You Had Known

Whereas my sister has a 2 year old that has to fall asleep with them every night in bed, then they move him to the crib. Only way he sleeps because they never forced it. My good friend has a 4 year old that still sleeps in the bed with them, because she refuses to sleep on her own. It can easily cause problems

yep

if you don't want your kid to sleep with you, don't ever start

some people like their kids sleeping with them (or at least they say they do), but we never wanted that and have never allowed my daughter to sleep in our bed

3 nights of "crying it out" at about 9 months old (when she learned to pull herself up in the crib) and she has slept through the night ever since
