Subject: RE: BS: Help: Way OT: Getting baby to sleep
OK...I admit it. I didn't read many of the above posts. I am tired, and I am in need of some food, but this is a subject near and dear to my heart.

Mine was easy...I had my daughter in bed with me from the moment she came home from the hospital to the time she was 4. We never had issues of "seperation anxiety", or a host of other common "early childhood" hurdles.

In natural societies, Babies and nursing toddlers sleep with the Mom. It's Western civilizations notion to put small children in their own rooms. I can say from my own personal experience, having your baby with you is very rewarding to both parent and child.

We each must choose, but there's a little from the other side of the fence.
