China: Many children stay in their parents' bed until they're 2 to 3 years old. "No one would ever let their baby cry it out — this is not accepted in China," says Joy Jia. "People soothe their children to sleep. Of course, in Chinese households there are a lot more people around — grandparents particularly — to hold the infant and otherwise help the parents." When children are not in their parents' bed, they're likely to sleep in a bed in the same room until they're 3 or 4, or even older.
