Umm my son is 6 and my daughter 8 still sleeps with me from time and right now as i type this. During the school week both my daughter and son sleep in their beds cause honestly they just sleep better I toss too much. But damn she’s only 3!!! She’s still a baby!
sounds like your ex has some unresolved past trauma that needs to be addressed.
There is nothing wrong with it, if she’s clingy it’s because she is 3 and misses her daddy when you’re not there… Talking as someone who was separated from her dad at around the same age I spent all my childhood waiting for him to come visit, I think it’s normal as little girls want their daddy time.

My brother slept in my mums bed some nights till he was around 11 
Work on your daughters schedule not the mom. Just get her a bed that she picks out. Have her decorate it and pick out the bedding. Let her know it’s there but don’t force her. She will get there when she is ready. Just let her know that it’s there and it’s a safe place too. If she sleeps in there one night but jumps back to your bed it’s normal and no problem. Just let her know it’s okay either way b

no. you stop bed sharing when it becomes uncomfortable for you both. when she decides she no longer wants to. my son is 3 and we bed share. he can go sleep in his own bed whenever he wants but he doesn’t want to and i don’t force him.

how often do you get the child? how long do you have her? …she probably misses you a lot. l would get her to sleep in her own bed one night out of 2 if weekend visitation… Kids suffer enough in broken families. Your ex if on good terms shouldnt be having too much say in what you do on your 2 days visit or what they eat. l only interfered with my kids and their father when l was told by both my daughters their father was masturbating in the TV room with his pants arounds his ankles!..(daughters were 2 and 8 ) and saw him!..and in bed with my youngest asleep next to him. THAT is NOT acceptable in any way.l then told him until each daughter has a room and beds of their own they will remain with ME. Which l did…l also carefully asked my daughters questions about any other physical touching or anything that would sound off an alarm in me.

she’s only 3. i don’t thinkit’s a big deal right now.
My daughter slept with me till 4 bc I was a single mom living qith my mom and 1 bed and my 8 yr old was sleeping with me now they both sleep in their own bed
I’ve seen both sides of this I was your ex as I was asking him not to allow her to sleep with him however the reason I asked this was because it actually did impact her ability to sleep alone not all kids are the same some learn to adjust to different houses others do not- MINE did NOT- so I pushed for the seperate bed thing because when she came back to me it impacted my routine with her and I had her most of the time- I was losing a ridiculous amount of sleep because if she woke in the night looking for either of us she became inconsolable or if she was in my bed she wiggled soooooo much and kept me awake; also there could be several reasons for her clingyness to you this is very likely one of them but not necessarily the only one or it may not be at all- you need to think about mums needs her as well as daughter and yourself not to say she is right but definitely try to consider why she is asking and consider also your own feelings- it is clear that you want this to keep happening and it’s not just your daughters want maybe if it’s because you miss her and feel lonely when she isn’t around then find other ways to fulfill that need and start to be comfortable on your own as children can also sense our wants and it’s important that you aren’t using your daughter to fill connection needs because they can tend to grow up too fast and not get to be kids that way

Are you naked when she sleeps in the bed with you? If the answer is no, then it is perfectly fine.
She’s only 3. My children are now adults. They both slept with me until they were 5 or so. Even if they got scared at a later age. It never bothered me. Now I miss it. She surely won’t be going off to college and still sleeping with you. Enjoy it. Before you know it, they’re grown up and on their own

My kids are 3½ boy and a 5½ girl and I still sleep with him. When they see their dad they sleep in his bed with him.
We co slept un til she was 10. Honestly by 10 she was so big that it was really time for her own space. Every once and a while she sleeps with me. But she really likes her own space now. Best yrs of my life. We are so close. I loved it!!
My daughter is 5 and occasionally sleeps in bed with me and dad.
l get paid over $130 per hour working from home. l never thought I’d be able to do it but my buddy makes over $18468 a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The possibility with this is endless.

My son is 6 and my daughter is 3. If either wakes up in the middle of the night they end up crawling in bed with us. And a few times a month we plan special nights where we all sleep together. My kids also randomly choose one of their beds for them to both sleep in. However, both of them have no issue sleeping alone either. Also, back when I was a single dad I would co sleep just about every night. Don’t let her shame you for those bonding moments. Just make sue she is able to go to bed alone if need be. Especially if you are trying to have a night with a future girlfriend
Dont worry about it i always brought mine to bed if they upset. My 1st/me coslept for 3 yrs as we had a small house
It’s not for me at all. i dont understand how parents co sleep. My kids slep in their own beds at 3 months on.
My room is the only space I have that’s mine and will remain mine. Call me selfish, I don’t care. But as a mother I’ve given up so much I’m not about to give up my bed too.

You’re her Dad. I don’t see an issue for a long while yet! Cuddles and sharing a bed after a nightmare I don’t think there’s an age limit. Normal sleepingwise, I would encourage her to use her own bed but don’t get phased if she doesn’t.
You’re her dad and I don’t see an issue with it at all.
Do it anyways
If she wanted a say then there shouldn’t have been a brakeup
Until your daughter tells you otherwise there is nothing wrong with it. Let your daughter decide when she’s too old to sleep in the same bed with her daddy! They are only little once.

Who cares what other people think! I had my son co sleep with me in our bed from age 1 until just this January (2022) and he’s turning 3 in June. SO MANY PEOPLE told me that I was creating terrible habits and that he’d never be able to sleep in his own bed without me, etc. I knew they were wrong, I’m his Mom, not them. Sure enough, when the time came for Bubba to be in his own bed, he did phenomenally and slept the entire night on his own and has been ever since. I absolutely would do the same thing over again and do NOT regret getting to spend so many nights snuggling and laughing with my baby boy who will never be a baby again. Enjoy it, it passes by fast. I’ll never regret getting to spend all those nights together and have all those snuggly moments and belly laughs in bed together to cherish!

I’m all for co sleeping if that is what y’all want to do, but I am going to add my point of view from moms possible perspective…my son coslept with me until his father and I split up. After that I transitioned him into his own bed, but dad continued to have him sleep with him and this made it soooo hard at home to get him back into routine. He’d fight sleep every night and throw huge fits because dad would let him do it. This continued from age 3 to almost 7. And he still has a hard time going to sleep even after dad got him into his own bed.

Omg, why would you stop if it’s working for both of you. I’m a big proponent of co-sleeping, so I have to admit my bias. Childhood goes by in the blink of an eye and should be treasured. Your daughter will be a teenager before you know it and won’t want to have anything to do with dear old dad, so enjoy the closeness while you can. It’s a special bond.

I can see if mom wants her bed to herself but your daughter refuses to sleep alone. It can be frustrating trying to enforce something while the other parent allows the behavior.
If her reason is that your daughter is “clingy” to you then she’s just jealous of your bond.

At that age I loved having naps and sometimes at night they grow up so fast…
Your daughter is still little, still very young. There is NOTHING wrong with her co-sleeping with you. Sounds like she’s going to be a daddies girl and maybe mom is a bit jealous of that. Sometimes when people split up, women tend to stay ‘bitter’ or whatever you want to call it for awhile. She could just be frustrated and thats the only thing she can think of to complain about. Not putting her down at all. Just saying, could be a possibility. Just keep being the best father you can be to your daughter. Coparent as good as you possibly can. Small things shouldn’t become big obstacles.

Ok it’s not that she is too old or that it’s inappropriate… but if you can co-parent do it to the best of your ability. If the ex is trying to train her in sleeping in her own bed she looses progress Everytime she switches houses and that is a pain… I love my kids cuddles, from time to time they do sleep with me but my two and four year old both sleep in their own rooms in their own beds… I have struggled with potty training for a minute because I was originally the only one working on it so it wasn’t sticking and as soon as I had support on it it all started to fall into place… I know it’s not 100 percent possible but routine is great for young kids, trying to have similar routine in both houses is good… also everyone parents different

People have way too many issues co sleeping is perfectly normal. My children, oldest is about to be 7, constantly want their dad to lay with them. Or they go crawl in bed with him. Shoot I was always in my parents bed with my head on my daddy’s shoulder even in my teens! And I probably still to this day would too but I lost both parents at 18. So long as nothing inappropriate is going on it legit shouldn’t matter. You are her father and protector. And lord she is just 3 she is still a baby. I’d ask her mother what the problem is because obviously y’all split up for a reason.

Maybe she needs the comfort. I would start laying down with her in her bed and when she drifts off go to your own bed. If she is going between homes, you may want to keep things as consistent as possible.
No matter how old she is she will always need her Daddy! Keep being you & if Mums only reason for this to stop is because said child is “to clingy” then carry on keep that bond with your baby as it won’t last forever if your happy & your child is happy carry on doing you!

She is NOT too old to co-sleep with her daddy. People make things WAY more complicated than they need to be. Her mother has issues, if she can’t take her 3 year old child sleeping in the bed with their father. Fathers deserve bonding time and cuddle time with their children regardless of gender just like mom. Children need comfort and if that comfort that sweet baby girl then continue loving on your daughter and comforting her. Assuming there isn’t anything inappropriate, you are good. People are gross…

You should note that toddlers feel energies/emotions.
Do you and the ex live in separate households now? If so, she may be clingy to you because she most likely don’t see you as often as she used to - so when she does see you, she wants to feel your presence and smell your scent as much as possible. You’re her comfort/security blanket. Three years old is not too old and I wouldn’t put an age limit to it for your babies wanting to snuggle.

I am a single mom. My 10 year old son sleeps with my mom. Its what makes him comfortable. He wont stay there forever. Your daughter is 3. If it makes her happy and you don’t mind, let her!
they are only little for a short period of time. So I’d say enjoy every minute of it while you can. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. Before long you’ll be bugging them to spend time with them or get a hug…lol.
You’re her dad. Not some random dude! She’s a daddy’s girl and it seems like her mama doesn’t like that very much. But what you do with your time is your choice and as long as she’s healthy and happy… that’s all that matters
