Co-sleeping: what happens to children who don’t learn to sleep alone

Do you spoil your children if you allow them to sleep in their parents’ bed? What are the effects of children falling asleep close to their parents? Experts explain why children are best looked after in a family bed.
In the middle of the night you hear the small, patting feet. The bedroom door will open shortly. A small body will crawl over your back and give you a rough kick.
You slide to the outer end of the mattress, the bedspread is out of reach. But it doesn’t matter. Because shortly afterwards you hear the deep breaths of your child, who has long since fallen asleep again. Peaceful and safe between his parents.
