My daughter has slept in a separate bed right from her birth. She is now six years old and insists on sleeping in our bed. I have been reading up on co-sleeping but not sure if the benefits still apply if you have not done co-sleeping with your child from the beginning. What do you suggest mums?

I believe that as children grow older, they should be sleeping in their own beds as parents need their private space to unwind and relax, which is not easy to do when there is a child in between. I would suggest that either parent lie in bed with her and tuck her in to sleep, so she feels secure. Once she is in deep sleep, return to your own bed. If your child has to sleep together in your big bed in order to feel secure, it also means that it is likelier that she will feel INSECURE without your presence, which is not something you would like as she reaches the school-going age. http://sg.theasianparent.com/co-sleeping-yes-or-no/
