hi my husband i sleep with our 8 month old in the bed, we have a 2 year old and we didnt put the baby in her room cause we didnt want the baby to wake her. jasmine is the baby and never wanted to sleep in the basinet beside our bed, so we put her in our bed and have been doing it every since, she still nurses and sleeps the entire time, it works for us, she is getting bigger and is taking up more of the bed but i would like to nurse her for a year and then put her gradually to sleep with her older sister gab in the same room
