I think it is a legitimate wish for the adultd to keep their bed for
themselves at night after a while. I will say (or think) that a
mother is a "bad breastfeeder" if she do not share her bed with the
baby when it is 6-7 or 12-13 months.
We should not be encouraging babies to sleep

Do you have any documentation for this?
