I tell you for experience. I'm going to have my #5

don't. she won't want to leave your bed trust me. just my opinion. babies are always going to depend on us even when they sleep in their own bed. you can do it.

@feemarie802 Babies need to be dependent on their mothers. That's just nature. It won't be hard to break unless you don't know how to do it properly and gradually. If you want to stop by 3 months that's all cool. A 3 months old will learn quick and by the time she's 8 months she won't even remember that you co-slept in the past.

I don't breastfeed so it wouldn't matter with that, but I'd just like her not to be as dependent to sleep in my bed versus her own. I don't mind bringing her in every few nights but every night would be much harder to break, especially since I don't want to co-sleep past 3 months @miicat

@feemarie802 I could see why that's a concern for you. However that is generally not as much of a problem as you'd think. I'm personally going to co-sleep for the first couple years of my son's life. Then I will do a slow and gradual transition to his own bed. It comes off as most natural to me that a baby who's been so close to me in the womb for 9 months would continue to keep that closure until he grows a bit more. Co-sleeping is also more convenient for night feedings and decreases the chances of infant death.

@miicat, just didn't want her to get used to sleeping with me all the time. She has her own bed so I didn't want to start the trend early where she sleeps with me and never breaks the habit

Why don't you want to co-sleep?
