Brandon and Meagan Deal never dreamed they would be co-sleeping with their 12-year-old daughter, McKenzi. “It started back when McKenzi was a baby. She had low birthweight and we wanted to keep a close eye on her,” Brandon, 32, tells TODAY.com. “And then it just sort of stuck.' Recently, Brandon shared a TikTok video about his family’s sleeping arrangements.
She’ll never be independent. Brandon says. “McKenzi is extremely independent.” According to Liz Nissim-Matheis, a clinical psychologist in New Jersey, it’s best to end co-sleeping when a person reaches puberty, or at around 11. “Once we get into that territory of bodies changing, that’s when you really want to take a step back and say, ‘What is going on here? How can we work through this anxiety.' Nissim-Matheis tells TODAY.com.
