Should your baby sleep in your room? Room sharing not bed sharing. If yes, for how long? 6 months, one year, more?

The advantage of sleeping with the baby (be it co-sleeping or in the same room) would be that the mother could better attend to her baby’s needs promptly. It will also reduce nighttime separation anxiety and keep the baby calm (especially for younger babies). There's is no specific timeline as to when to change this sleeping arrangement. It is more dependent on what is the best option for the family or when you think your child is ready to have his/her own room. My cousin transited my nephew into his own room when he was 2.5 years old as she was expecting my niece. Some of my friends still have their children co-sleeping with them beyond the infancy stages. Quite a few only made the transition when their children are around 4 or 5.
