At first we put our baby in bed with us and then when he was a little older he slept in his bassinet in our room. At about six months we started putting him in his own bed and really haven't had a problem. My daughter has slept with us from day one. She's now 11 months old and we love having her in bed with us and won't think about moving her until she is ready. Yeah, sometimes she squirms but its a small price to pay for the closeness we all feel from co-sleeping.
