7. Impact on Family Routine
Co-sleeping can affect personal time, bedtime routines, and overall household structure. Couples may find it harder to maintain privacy or consistent sleep schedules.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Some families transition gradually by starting with bedtime cuddles and then moving the child to their own bed. Others continue co-sleeping while setting clear boundaries.
Conclusion
Sleeping with a 2-year-old can provide comfort and closeness, but it may also lead to disrupted sleep and dependence if not managed carefully. The best choice is the one that ensures safety, emotional well-being, and healthy sleep for both the child and the parents.
