Dash is correct, sleeping in their own bed is often not the true and right path. I found having the child in my bed made a difference between mama getting enough sleep to function at work or not. In other words, I got more sleep/rest if the kid slept with me.
OTOH, I have parent friends who could never actually sleep with a kid in their bed. It's all a matter of what works for each parent/child combination.
The sleeping thing.

As in all things, I take the via media.
