Where do your baby sleep?

Jade13 @Jade13 (262) • Malaysia 29 Jul 08

Where do you let your newborn sleep?In the same bedroom as you? Or alone in another room? Or you let the baby sleep with you for the first few months and then let the baby sleep in another room after that?

baby

jaminnj I love using a co-sleeper that attaches to side of my bed for the first 6-9 months and then child sleeps in my bed with a safety bar on the side. When they turn two they move to a toddler bed in their own room and at age four into a twin size bed.
