my daughter won't sleep in her own bed by herself. it seems tht she gets sick at least once a mnth, and during tht time i let her sleep with me in fear tht something might happen to her and to comfort her. but in doing so i'm kicking myself because when she is not sick she won't go to sleep unless i put her the bed with me first then move her to her own bed later. i can't just lay her in he bed and tell her to go to sleep. and with these fequent disruptions i know nither of us is getting the sleep we need and both of us are cranky most of the day. also i have noticed she has been waking up at 6 or 7 every morning so i will bring her into my bed. then we will both sleep another 2 hrs or so. with us both waking at 10 everyday it seems i can't accomplish anything. so if any of you ladies out there has some tips there are greatly appreated. i feel we should be out of this stage already and it just keeps going.

ok sweetie my lil girl is 3 yrs old and she still sleeps with me to me i see nothing wrong with kids sleeping with u im going to let my lil girl sleep with me till she tells me she wants her own bed just lay her down and let her go to sleep and then u go to bed and if she wakes up at 6 7 i wouldnt go back to bed bc if she gets up to early that means nap time and mommy time for u

my son is 7 going to be 8 next month and he once in a while sleeps with us.  i dont have a problem with it but everyone else does.  the dr told me to try leaving a tv on at night and a night light but it does not seem to help.  good luck if you have success please pass it my way i could use it.

it was a phase with Elle! and just recently with the new baby she's been wanting to, but i would try rewards, honestly i bribe my daughter sometimes so she gets her rest and i get mine, and she gets something in return as well! Btw My daughter will be 4 in sept and she did that aroung 2.5, and sometimes she still comes in, in the morning and we all sleep longer, I LOVE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!!
