Hi there, I do really want to know your real situation on sleep train for your babies or kids. When do babies born in US can sleep by themselves in their own bedrooms.
I am from China, and you know what, we here start to train our kids to sleep by themselves usually from their 3-6 years old. And when I was young, I did remember my train started since my primary school, like 8-9 years old.
Why we are so late to seperate it? Just because in China, the most common residence type is apartment, not single house. And the apartment is just like 80 square meters, within 2 bedrooms, one is master room, the other is for Grand masters(kids' grand parents). Our parenting is usually based on parenting and grand-parenting. Anyway, most people can spare one entire room for their kids, especially for big cities, the more flurishing cities, the more expensive rental or purchase for living, the smaller area to share. Anyway, in word, our kids usually have their own room until their parents' financial condition getting well.
Babies and kids can not sleep individually, Children and youths can. Not only for their braveness issue, but the condition lacks.
Now I am turning to be a father, and my yound boy is almost 18 months+ years old. My wife and I got ready to prepare his room after this summer. Depends on our experience, we can not feel the kids from 2 to sleep single. Does that works? And nowdays in US, is it still common to train your babies since they are 1 year's old, or like 1-2 ish?
