It's a personal choice.

Honestly I don't think a child is better or worse off either way. Lord Knows Hannah has slept in her own crib from day one and she almost NEVER cries... EVER. and if she does it is only for a minute or two. and I know kids who sleep with their parents who aren't clingy and totally dependant and who made the transition to their own bed just fine. I think if a child has loving parents who tend to their needs... it doesn't matter if they sleep on their own or in their parents bed... they are both well off.

for me I couldn't have Hannah in my bed all the time. I have a hard time sleeping now as it is lol
