the baby sleeping alone... is that a good practice?

The idea is just a cruelty to their children,such a baby will find it difficult to contact his or her external world and hence would surely become a broiler chicken.
They compresses all their problems and wishes and will always be gloomy....If you met such parents who promote such an activity........... stop them................

I've slept in a separate room to my parents pretty much since the day I was born. My parents didn't believe in mollycoddling me, although they did have the baby intercom so they COULD hear if I was in distress (so don't go thinking they were child-abusers or anything). But I slept through the night at a very young age anyway. I think if you always are there waiting on a child hand and foot from the time that they're little, they'll always expect it and never really become independent.

I don't believe in coddling children. It's a harsh and cruel world out there, and you had better start learning it now rather than getting a nasty shock when you finally get thrown out there on your own. xP

I personally did keep my children on my room till they ask to go on their own room

However my son was 3years old when he wanted to move on his room and he was very upset because he has to share it with his sister.All he could say was
"all my friends got their own room"

Maybe its because people can afford more nowadays and they do have monitor to check if their baby is awake or not

all three babies slept with me in the past. i don't like to be bothered to sleepily walk to where they sleep if i let them sleep separately. also, i wanted to make sure they were okay all the time. i also did not want them to sleep with their nannies. i wanted them to be safe with me all the time. that was my choice and i loved my bonding moments with them.

I think a baby should learn to go to sleep on their own. They don't need to be in the same bed or the same room as the parents. I just think that children sleeping with their parents is totally wrong! Sleeping with others affects the baby. When they become older how hard will it be to let them have their own room and then try to get them to go to sleep. Does the parent have to lie down with them to get them to fall asleep? Do they feel that someone always has to be with them before they can go to sleep? Sleeping time is very important and a routine needs to be started from the very beginning before problems develop later.

In my home country it is thought that it is best that the baby sleeps in a moses basket, crib or cot in his or her parents room. That should be until the baby reaches six months old. Then the baby could move into a cot in his or her own bedroom.

I think that babies like to share a room with their parents but school age children would prefer to have their own bedroom. I think that it is a lovely idea that you have of the babies, children and parents sharing a room.

My oldest son and my toddler son share a bedroom. I share my bedroom with my three month old baby daughter. She sleeps in her cot now that she has outgrown her moses basket.

Hi Manong,

From my opinion, I will let my son sleep together with me in the same room till he has started his primary school. That is the time where he can be more independent and know more about his surroundings.

Before he is in primary school, I prefer to let him sleep with me in the same bedroom,of course,not in the same bed. I let him sleep on his own mattress.

When it is time to let your kid to be independent,let it goes!!

Of course, before we start our project to let our kid sleep on his own bedroom,we have to explain to them why we are doing it. Tell them that thay have grown up and need to have own space. They have to learn on how to takecare of themselves too.So sleeping alone at their own bedroom is the first step to be out from parents guardian.

Since I was born I had my own room opposite my brothers, but that was only because by the time I was born, my parents were in a bigger house. They dont believe that any changes can occur with a baby if you put them in their room seperately, and they kept a watchful eye with me all the time since the room was next to mine.

With my 11 month old (soon to be a year!), he´s sletp with my husband and I but only because of space reasons. Since its hard to obtain a nanny Im staying at my mother´s so she can help me out while balancing work. But in my apartment he has his separate room and never shown any problems while sleeping.

I think its not a good practise, the baby since then tends to lose the love and affection of his parents.I think a baby atleast till they grow up to be teenagers have to be kept or allowed to sleep with parents, Its just like when you pray, you dont know what you going to get, but you become a nice person who has nice thoughts.Its same like this, you dont know what you get but you are always overfilled with love and content when you actually got your baby sleeping holding your arms.

A lot of differnt Cultures from all over the world practise letting their very young infants sleep with them. But here in the Unites States, if parents want to do this, it is recomended to get a crib & actally place it right next to the mothers side of the bed, so the baby can go to sleep in it without the fear of a parent possibly rolling over the young infant while asleep. This is also how SID's (Sudden Infant Death) happens. As the child gets older, say about 2 & a half years old or so, it is ok to move the child bed into a room that's close by the parents room, but it's recommended that the parents check on the child as often as they can & to always have a working baby monitor running at all times. Usually by the time the child reaches about four or five years old, they will often have their own bedroom.
