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 agree with Cindy. Do what you think is best for your family. Yes parents should have private space but that's only if you want it. There are other places to have sex. Oops. Jokes aside, she won't be needing you for too long. When she grows older she will want her personal space and friends will be her priority. I say treasure the moment whilst it lasts.
