How old is too old? I don't know. My sister's older son slept in his mom's room until he was 9 or 10 (started out in his own bed, but always ended up in hers) Once she tried locking her bedroom door, and he just cried at the door. She swore (again, we should never do this as many of us have found out) that she would never co-sleep with her second child. Well, you guessed it, when he was 8 months old he got really sick with a viral infection and it was easier to have him in her bed with her and her husband. This child is now six and still refuses to sleep by himself. He will either sleep with his parents or his older brother, sometimes starting out in his own room but never at night.

We have an almost 2-year-old son who slept in his crib until he was about a year and a half, and has since been in our bed. We have tried to transition him to a toddler bed, but he will always walk in our room and get up in our bed. So, for now, he's in our bed. We'll take out cues from him as it really doesn't bother us, although I get slightly better sleep when he's in his own bed.
