At what age should my child stop co-sleeping?

Gary Feldman (Medical Director, Stramski Disorders Center, Miller Children's Hospital ) gives expert video advice on: At what age should my child stop co-sleeping? and more...

There's no real defined age as to when your baby should stop co-sleeping. That really depends on why you're co-sleeping in the first place. That may be your preference. For some cultures, it's more normal, if you like, to co-sleep than for others. I don't believe there's a right and wrong about co-sleeping. The problem is that when you decide not to co-sleep, by then your baby or your child is going to be in the habit of wanting to sleep with their parent. Generally speaking, the younger the child, the easier it is to break the habit.
