I co slept with Clover until she was about 2.5yrs old & then around that time we moved from a 1 bedroom apartment to a 2 bedroom unit. I set her up in her own room but she came in and slept with me in the middle of the night less and less frequently for the next year. With the next 2 they co slept with me for a month then we set a cot up in our room - Levi doesn't feel comfortable with a baby in the bed (he sleeps in the spare room for the first month) so this was our compromise. All my kids are good sleepers and I really enjoy co sleeping - I found breast feeding really easy & my babies always settled themselves really easily and I think co sleeping had a part in that.
