Make him a not too comfortable bed on the floor by your bed and stick with it.
I was seven, but I rarely slept with my parents even before. I had my own room and bed and that was that
My kids never slept with us, only few times our now 12 yr old did was when she was like 3 or 4 and she didnt feel good
My 5 year old still sleeps 
in my bed
Mine only slept in my bed maybe 5 time total in their whole childhood
Take him back to his room
Enjoy it. Cuddle while they want you still.

My almost 8 yo still climbs in bed with me sometimes. They wonāt be little forever. Choose your battles. And to those saying itās wrong with a non bio parent in the bed, if heās not a fling and is a constant in their lives what the hell is the problem? Js

I have 4 kids ages 3, 5, 8, 9 and they all sleep in their own beds in their own rooms. The 8 and 9 year old share a room. They have slept in their own rooms since they were 3 months old. When I had my first I had her in my bed, but my husband is a heavy sleeper and I woke up with him on top of her. Scared me to death. So since then I conditioned them to be independent and sleep in their own beds. Everyone is on a schedule and thatās how we like it. Plus when my husband has to wake up of 330 am for work he needs our room and canāt have this kids in there
My son is 6 nearly 7 still sleeps in my bed always has just gonna let him decide when it stops i realy dnt mind it

My daughter does the same thing, and I just accepted it, and randomly she just stopped and stays in her room (unless she is scared)
When heās ready he will stop
Iāve also read some blogs about using sticker charts for staying in bed, similar to potty training haha
Ok Iāll probably get some back lash for this but my son is 10 and still sleeping in my bed I have tried and tried to get him in his own bed but I gave up I figure he will leave my bed when ready

Lmao my almost 16 year old daughter still climbs in my bed. I slept in mothers bed every chance I got when she was alive. Itās a comfort thing.

Mine will be 6 in June still comes in bed with us, I told him he is a big boy and has to sleep in his bed,his answer was why I still have a little boy bed if Iām a big boy 
and he wants us to buy him a bunk bed 
we send him in his bed but in the middle of the night sneaks in bed with us 
so you are not alone, probably will stop when he will feel ready

My SS was 7 and it was time. His great grandmother had co slept with him from the time my SO got custody at 4 and he would NOT sleep by himself. I got it, he went through some things. I wasnt comfortable with him randomly popping into our bed though lol. Got him an awesome set up for his room, new mattress tons of huge stuffed animals, jammies he loved, and that was pretty much all she wrote. He wanted to be by himself but his great grandmaās anxiety issues were being passed on to him. Donāt get me wrong, I love snuggles and cuddles but the only reason I set my foot down was I could tell he was ready and was just acting on the adultās issues. I made it very clear if he ever got scared or needed us to come and get us. He has one time in almost three years.
10! My son was 10š¤¦āāļø
He would pass out in our bed, weād move him, by 2 am, he was back in, weād move him back, by 4 he was back in, literally all night! He had really bad anxiety, and other mental health stuffā¦ I have 4 kids(now all teens) he was the only one who we let sleep with us(he was the oldest) NEVER start that bad habit!!
Iām super happy reading these comments, that most of them are positive about bedsharing! My peanut is 22 months today, and has slept with me all but one night since 1 week old! (She was upstairs in my momās bed) Iāve side carāed her crib, and most nights she sleeps in her crib by choice. I am in no rush to get her out, we both sleep well at night! Iām also a single parent, may be different if I was in a relationship.
Never should allow it in the 1st place

Let him. He needs his momma. Soon he wonāt want anything to do with you. My littles are 7&8. They still sleep with me occasionally. As a mom of an adult child Iāve learned to treasure it. Be what your child needs instead of expecting him to be what you want him to be.

3 of the 4 never slept in my bedā¦the one that did (occasionally) was about 2ish and didnāt make a fuss about it.
Never let any of them sleep in my bed. My one son will come Lay with me but he knows heās not sleeping with me so he removes himself when he gets tiredā¦or bored of what Iām watching lol
My 4 and 5 year old boys sleep with me i donāt mind they will get scared and find me if they are not next to me. I treasure the moments because i know sooner or later they will not want to cuddle with me. I have a king bed they. Kick me and mess up my back 
but i love them . whenever they are ready to sleep in thier room i will let them

My twins only came in with me if they didnāt feel well,one sometimes had nightmares then she would come in then.
He will let u no but for now just enjoy the cuddles with him not harming anyone xx
One day, he will stop waking in the middle of the night to get into bed with you. Then hel stop getting into bed with u for a cuddle in the mornings before starting the day. Cherish your cuddles. Hes not going to be 25 and sleeping in your bed 
hes just 5, let him be just 5 
worry about when he stops wanting to when u get to that, cause youll miss it.

My youngest brother was 8 when my parents moved from a king to a queen and kicked him out. He still makes a nest on the floor because he likes to be near them
My kids are adults now and they both wanted to sleep with Mom and Dadā¦looking back, Iām glad I let themā¦time flys. Take advantage of every stage, once itās done, you canāt go backā¦
I told my daughter she can sleep in my bed even when she is 35+ā¦ She will always be my baby 
Mine is 10 and still likes to sleep in my bed. I donāt think I would be comfortable with him crawling into bed with me and a boyfriend though. Thatās not appropriate.
My kids are 9 & 6. I still let them sleep with me 
ever since I read an article about kids sleeping with you, I let them. They are only young once. Once they grow out of it, youāll wish they were still young & asking to sleep with you. Iām also not having anymore kids. So, thatās another reason why.
I donāt mind my 5yr in bed with me. Why is there an age limit. Its ur own child , they feel safe and comfort next to you. Tell ur bf to enjoy the sofa if u ever feel like it might interfere. Once your son is ready and doesnāt feel what he is feeling he will find his room , his zone. U can also lay in his room with him while he sleeps or put cool night lights etcā¦ 
as for age limit I dnt think any, as long as he is a kid let him be a kid
My daughter is 7 an sleeps in my bed cause we kinda share a bed right now until I get moved to a bigger home, I also have two other kids that are Teenages so itās hard to have them share with their sister so I do but most of the time I am over next door at my momās house taking care of her since my mom is bedridden so. I canāt wait until summer so I can move into a bigger home that fits all five of us so that we are all under one home not two

My 26 year old will nap with me when she visits and Iām tired, my 16 year old son will climb in bed by me and nap, and my 11 year old daughter thinks itās a treat to sleep by me at night. Those are signs of a good mom.

Let him sleep with you. My kids (now 20 and 17) could always climb in with us if they needed to. He wonāt want to do it forever and before you know It heāll be all grown up.
My son is 11 and would sleep with me every night if he could. We have 1 night a week he looks forward to and gets so excited that I let him sleep with me.
They wonāt be little forever momma hold on to the moments while you can and cherish every second ofbit
My 8 year old still asks to sleep with me. I share her with her dad every other week. So I dont really care how old she is I will still every once in a while let her and/or her 3 year old brother sleep with me or sleep with them. I dont think itās a bad thing and itās about the only time my youngest doesnt have night terrors.
Mine is 6 and crawls next to me once in awhile, I donāt see the harm in it. One day he probably wonāt want to sleep next to me so I say enjoy it now. At least heās starting off in his own bed so thatās a plus 
I have 5 children and they all slept in their own bed the day they came home from the hospital. If you start that way they are fine.
Mine never did. Fear of killing them by rolling over on them when they were new borns and knowing I would never get them out of my bed if they got in the habit . Doctors , nurses, childcare specialist all frowned heavily on the practice .
My son is 10 and he does the same he says heās scared and cryās to lay with me!
It is natural to want to be by another person or pet or cuddly toy as you sleep. Humans are social creatures and the warmth and comfort of another body is very reassuring. We literally are created inside of our motherās body, so to want to be close is natural. Co sleeping was the best way for me to get any sleep when my first born arrived. All my grands still love to cuddle in Grandmaās king size waterbed!
Our kids never slept with us . But they will crawl in between me and my hubby and watch tv . Especially my 13 year old daughter she needs that and we cherish her .
Let him. He will grow put of it and then you will be sorry. Hold onto him as long as he allows it. One day will be the last day and you will be sad.
My son stopped sleeping in our bed when we got him a dog and let the dog sleep in his room. He just wanted company.

I think its alright for him to sleep with you. he wonāt be little forever.
Never let them sleep in my bed. No judgement just felt the marriage bed was not a place for them. I know many that now struggle to get them out of their bed once the habit was begun.
If it bothers you, send him back to his bed. If it does not and there are no other concerns (e.g. safety) let him. Five isnāt that old.
I remember being in the bed with my parents. I think I was 4. When they told me I had to sleep in my bed I remember being okay with it. I did fine. But each child is different. I never let my daughter sleep with me and my husband. I am a heavy sleeper. I would rather her be here through rough nights than no longer here because I roll on her or something. She is grown now. We are still close. It didnāt take anything away from our closeness because she didnāt sleep in the bed with us.
My son slept with me til he was about 8ā¦then he decided to sleep by himself.
My kids never slepted with me not even when they were sick
I HAVE 4 SONS AND A DAUGHTER. THEY NEVER SLEPT WITH ME NORE DID THEY TRY. I HAD MY OLDEST SLEEP ONE NIGHT WITH ME WHEN SOMEONE STOLE OUR HEATING OIL AND BROKE THE OIL LINE SO THAT WHAT THEY DID NOT TAKE RAN OUT ON THE GROUND. IT WAS A VERY COLD NIGHT. I wanted them to be independant. As far as being sickāI do not think it is any different than hugging someone you love. You are fully dressed I hope. What is wrong with it?
My kids are grown and will come in my room and crawl up watch TV. If they fall asleep they stay there just like when they were small.
Whenever you want to have him sleep alone is when you take him back. Enjoy the snuggles and time to connect with your son. There is no right or wrong answer, itās up to you Momma
If Iām in bed reading or watching TV my sons will pile in my bed and talk about their day but sleeping with me is only if they were sick or scared and it was their decision to stop sleeping in my bed when they were 3yrs old they are 34 and 40
Itās time to make him learn to sleep on his own and learn to be independent if your not sure ask your Dr
My kids never slept in our bed on a regular basis. My daughter did awhile as an infant while I was nursing her but only a few weeks, then she had adjusted her nursing and was in her bassinet. The last time both kids slept in my bed was when they were 8 and 6 because they watched a scary movie (1958 The Blob).
They never did. They had their own crib and thatās where they slept every night.
Let him do it, their will come a time when you couldnāt pay him to do that. Sounds like a good boyfriend
Any age is too old to let your child sleep with you.
She never did sleep in my bed.
His bed is best, hes a big boy now
Mine never did sleep with me. Bad habit.
