I have two kids and both now are 20 months old and three years old. They have been bed share with me since new born. Lately we plan to clean up our guest room and put my elder daughter to this bedroom. She will soon sleep on her own bed. But I am worry how she is going to make it when she sleeps alone. She is a timid girl. And I worry mosquito will bites her and worry her get frighten in the middle of night.

That's how I got started, with my first I had a little thing that went right in the bed, but with little sides, because I was nervous about rolling on him. But by the time he got too big for it, I got over that, and I just couldn't NOT keep sleeping with him! (He was only like maybe 3 or 4 months too)
I gave away the little bed-nest thing sometime shortly after having my second and put a rail on my side of the bed to keep her from falling out. (my other big worry.)
My third has been in the bed with us since day 1, he'll be a year this weekend, and I'm *considering* starting his own mattress on the floor of our room for at least part of the night....

My sister has always had her sharing her bed until she gets pregnant again. Then she gets her child to go into a cot or a bed. She has four children and her youngest moved to a bed at two years old.
I used a moses basket when my babies were young and small. When they grew they went into a cot. My oldest son moved into a bed. My toddler son is disabled and he is currently still sleeping in a cot. My baby girl sleeps in her cot in my bedroom.

that's a good idea....lets them get used to the change of sleeping alone *long* before the 'new baby' made it happen. ;)

my dh is from a culture where it's NORMAL to bedshare w/baby. HE actually said he missed baby girl the first night I put her in her own bed. (I figured it was time, we'd gotten moved and new baby coming in a few weeks then.)

We co-sleep when baby wakes up to nurse. Too tired to put her to bed (right next to me anyways). Some nights in order to get her to sleep, I nurse her to sleep and she stays the whole night. However it falls... no set routine. However we all can get the most sleep!

absolutely! This is why I continued bedsharing. It's the way we all get the most sleep. ;)

My first son until a year, second currently (he's 3.5 months). I find it easier with nursing. I don't have to get up to feed, just roll over and stick a boob in his mouth and go back to sleep. No bottles to prep makes it easier.

Nope I like my space when I sleep. I dont mind them sleeping with me when there sick but other than that they can sleep in there own bed. My husband and I need our privacy at night. Its very hard to be intament when theres a baby in the bed or even in the same room.
