Yup that is so true. I find it very unnatural for babies to be separated from their mums. Even animals keep their young with them at all times.
Actually he still does sleep with me. How is it harmful though?  |

I mean like, your boy is 8 years old and goes to school I assume, he's growing up and needs to get used to things like sleeping alone in one's room, going alone to the toilet, playing with other kids etc.
It's important for parents to set limits for the child (and themselves). Sometimes it's the mother who needs the child, not vice versa. Whose needs are fullfilled by having a kid sleep in ones bed? I think it's possible a mother can without knowing or realizing it, pay more attention to her own needs than to the needs of her kid.
