That is complete nonsense, and all recognized studies back up that there are no behavioral changes in kids due to that. I've done it for two of our kids, and many friends have done it for theirs, and there are no changes before or after. In fact, studies show the exact opposite. Kids who sleep in their own rooms get more sleep than kids who don't. It's a win-win for everyone.

- spraak 8y agoYour sources are complete nonsense. The first study you linked actually concludes > There seem to be no negative associations between bed-sharing in toddlerhood and children's behavior and cognition at age 5 years. And also only samples low-income families, which already show negative behavioral trends from the more difficult living. And the second source only vaguely concludes that co-sleeping can > negatively affect a mother's mental health and cause her to get less sleep. Finally, none of these studies focus on the long term effects, which the OP is talking about.
