Reply #4: I can probably count on one hand how many times my son slept w/me

[Debi]

But he was born w/a disability and had surgery when he wat 10 hours old, spent six weeks in the hospital (w/me by his side or holding him) and when we finally got home all he wanted to do was sleep w/out being disturbed. He only cried when he was wet or wanted to eat and then back in his own bed in his own room to sleep. Only when it stormed and he was scared did he cry out or not want to go back to bed (and even now, 17 years later) he and I will sometimes end up in the living room he on one couch me on the other if there's a really bad storm.

I don't really have an opinion on the subject, it just rarely happened in our home.
