While our daughter was sleeping with us in the same room for more than a year and a half, I’ve been told many times that she shouldn’t.  Very few people, like my mother and grandmother, were supportive of what I was doing.  My much younger brother slept in my parents’ room until he was four, so to me and my mother it definitely wasn’t strange that our daughter was still in our room.  I am so glad I did whatever I thought was right because I did not have to suffer by using methods such as “cry it out”.  Our daughter was ready to move to her own room and that is what makes me really happy.

I really do believe that staying close to your little ones for at least the first couple of years is important for many reasons.  Also, time flies and you’ll quickly start missing those brief moments you were able to share with your baby.
