I've just been reading a thread on mumsnet ( i blame bunyip for introducing me to aibu many years ago)

Anyway!

It is about babies being put down for bed on their own ...

Apparently the latest advice is to keep your baby downstairs/with you until you go to bed. So no wonder 90% of the parents i talk to have children/babies who don't / can't self settle or sleep by themselves or even sleep through. And dare i say, are always tired because they are not getting enough sleep!

I can't remember when mine went to bed on their own ( but still in our room, right next to my side of the bed ) but they both slept through from 7/8pm ish to 6am ish from about 10/12 weeks, so must have been in bed for a few weeks at least before that.
