Well… my 18 month old has been in bed with us since she come home from the hospital because I breastfeed and she is yet to be cutoff… when she was a infant I had a co-sleeper (for safe sleep) but now she’s in the middle of in the crook of my arm. Out of 3 kids she’s the only one who has slept in bed with us… now our 8 yr old will try and con her way onto the couch we have in our room, and will often sneak down after we go to bed and I’ll wake up with her on the couch. If it very normal for young children. Night terrors and fears with while imaginative thoughts are key players in this. It’ll get better as they transition out of concrete thinking…
My 6 year old son sometimes you wont notice katabi mo na not until may naninipa na sa gilid🤣
Every night
Ages 4 and 10
Our 3-year-old sleeps in our bed. He doesn’t mind sleeping in his own bed, as long as me or his Dad are also sleeping there. He will absolutely wake in the middle of the night screaming if he notices we’re gone.

When I go to work. Youngest aren’t allowed to sleep in my bed since I wake up at 330am. Plus I’ve had them sleep in their own beds/room by age 2
It alternates every night between my 5, 7 and 9 year old boys
It’s soooo normal ! I miss those days so much ! But now I have a grandbaby and that has made it all
Better ! Let your babies sleep with you . Won’t last forever!

Very normal, I’d say most kids do it
Both my kids get in bed with us. ages 10 and 4
Mine are 9 and 10 and still do it. To be honest, It used to annoy me but now I LOVE it. I realize how close they are to the age of not wanting to do that with me or be around me as much so I want all the baby lovings I can get.

I share a room with my 8 year old daughter, she is the youngest and only one, it’s a comfort thing and I’m not ready to change anything yet.

Absolutely. My kids did it and now my grandsons do. This is what I tell others. There will be a day they don’t want to snuggle and I’ll take all the snuggles I can get. I do have one rule though they must start out in their own bed.

I have a 4, 6 and almost 12 year old. The 4 and 6 year old end up in our bed every single night and have since they could walk and open doors. Being that I have an almost 12 year old, I realize how precious these times are and how much I will miss them not wanting to one day. It’s not always the most comfortable but our bodies have adjusted to it lol It’s completely normal in my humble opinion. I’m grateful my husband doesn’t complain about it or try to push them out.

Not unless they were scared or sick and even then we generally went back to their bed and I sat beside the bed until they comfortably went back to sleep.

Although I’m not a father yet, it’s perfectly okay for your kids to sleep in your bed from time to time. 
Yep. One normally starts in my bed and the other 2 come join us at some point every night.
My almost 5 yr old, always falls asleep in my bed. I move her once she’s asleep. But she does sneak back in my bed.
It’s normal. All 4 of my kids did it.

5 years old and everyyyyynight😅
6 months 5 year old and 8 year old always in my bed… even wen they sleep in thier own beds 1 or both land up coming back to me lol
No. My baby doesn’t come to my room unless it’s loud thundering and she’s scared and that happened maybe twice. I created boundaries with my baby so she’s not codependent. Babies can cause divide between partners. If one partner doesn’t like it fix it no matter how normal you think it is. If he doesn’t like it who cares what someone else is doing he’s not them. Exactly how women end up single moms they go to the internet instead of listening to and respecting their partners. Screw what others are doing you’re not sleeping with them.

Just if they are sick or scared. We never began the bed sharing habit with our kids. They know how much we love them and that we’re always there, but our bedroom is our sanctuary and our private place.
As much as it is normal for many people, like it once was for my now 12 year old son, I had to cut the line at around age 6/7 because it disrupted my sleep badly and I already sleep poorly. I now have a almost 3 year old son and he started sleeping in his own room around age 1 and a half and rarely comes in my room. As much as I love the cuddles, I love my sleep and time with my partner that I wouldn’t get if I had little ones in my bed all the time. I just haven’t allowed it to become a habit this time. Every family is different though! Do what works for you!
My son is 5 and he NEVER does that lol.
But i know how normal it is for others.
My son just always slept super well from when he was a baby so he doesn’t do it
My daughter has been co-sleeping with me since she was a baby. If I put her in there bed she comes and joins me everytime I put her in her own bed. She is six now. My son dis the same as well until he was 8 ish.
My 6yr old sleeps in our bed 
we have tried everything to get him out but he has severe attachment issues with his daddy. It’s like he has to be touching him at night just to recharge for the next day. I call it daddy syndrome

My daughter has always preferred sleeping with me, she’s 8, I got her a brand new bed all decked out with new hello kitty stuff and she still wants to sleep with me I don’t mind I’m sure I’ll miss it when she’s older as she’s my only child 
Put a mattress "safe"mattress at the end of your bed. If they come in scared or sick (unless puking everywhere lol ) they don’t need to wakeyou up they fall back asleep in the safe mattress knowing they will be a safe as laying in bed with you that they are at the end of your bed. It’s worst the best for everyone.
My 4 year old and 2 year old fall asleep in our bed. We move them to their beds once asleep. They will usually come to our bed once or twice throughout the night. I wait for them to fall back asleep and move them again. Some nights I’m too tired and just let them sleep there lol.

Mine is 4 and has been coming in almost every night, like 2-3 in the morning and sleeps right away since she was about 3. She never slept in my bed before then but once she started she never stopped
My son still comes in from time to time and he’s 7. We’ve always allowed him 10 minutes of cuddle and reassurance but then it’s back to his own bed. Sleeping next to him is just not an option if you want to actually sleep haha
My kids don’t ever come into my bed. I will go lay with them in their bed till they go back to sleep. I also had a friend that didn’t get out of her parents bed until she was 15!!
I co slept with my daughter for a long time. Even after she started sleeping in her bed, there were nights when she would crawl into my bed. I love it.

Nope. Four kids and NONE of them came to my bed. They had their own beds as their space and mine was mine.
My son didn’t do it until we had no choice but for him to cosleep.
I kept our sleeping places separate as long as I could. Of course I’d lay down with him in his bed if he needed me to or on the couch for a nap. I think we as a society have normalized it but it’s not good for your relationship with your partner and there’s benefits in it for you kiddos when then sleep alone.
Studies show:
Children who sleep alone may fall asleep faster, sleep more through the night, and have fewer nighttime awakenings.
Independent sleep may help children develop self-soothing skills and nighttime independence, which can help them fall asleep on their own and comfort themselves if they’re anxious or stressed.
Co-sleeping can discourage children from developing independence and emotional mastery, and that keeping children out of your bed can communicate trust and give them a sense of accomplishment.
I’ve found all of these to be true.
Our relationship with our partners is important as well. When we become parents that relationship shouldn’t suffer.
If your husband is having issues with it, find middle ground. Have him help start the process of the kids sleeping in their own beds and designate a day on the weekend where the kids get to pile up and snuggle with you two.
Mom and dad get time to themselves and quality time, mom gets to snuggle with her kiddos, and the kids benefit as well.
Everyone wins.
Yep. All 3 did until about 10 or so.
My 9yr old will still sneak into my bed in the middle of the night. I don’t even notice it happening. My 3yr old also co-sleeps.
I have 2 in my bed right now. They sleep with me everynight. Sometimes i have a 3rd. At some point ive had all 6 in my bed. Right now my 7 and 3 year olds sleep with me.
Mine! We stopped cosleeping awhile ago, but we still roomshare out of necessity (for now). We often wake up in the morning to find her snuggled between us in her “spot” lol – no idea how she manages to do it without waking at least one of us up, but she does. (She also refuses to leave the room without one of us, which I’m very thankful for lol.)
This happens anytime I put my daughter in her bed. So I just let her sleep with me anyway. Saves us the headache of her crying because she wants me.
