Co-sleeping is one the most controversial topics of parents. For those who are unaware what co-sleeping is, it is the practice of parents sharing a bed with their children. Some people disagree with the method of co-sleeping but I admit that I do take part in letting my daughter sleep with me. Study shows that allowing children to sleep in the same bed is a safety hazard and promotes the child to be overly dependent. However, I believe that it is a time for bonding because I am away from my daughter most of the day. I know I will probably regret this down the line but right now, I cherish the moments when she snuggles up next to me.

I do it too and even though I recently started getting him accustomed to sleeping in his crib in his own room. But when he wakes up in the wee hours of the morning I get him and bring him back in our bed. I don't think anyone can truly say whether it encourages "dependency" or "being spoiled" because kids don't live in a vacuum and there's pretty much no way to conduct a study to truly measure its effect. I say let the babies be babies and moms and dads know best! :)
