My DD2 is 26 months and co sleeps in the middle of our king sized bed. She has her day time nap in our bed as well, I just put her down on her pillow towards the middle of the bed. Can't remember if she had a pillow at 8 months? Maybe not. She either falls asleep in the car and I transfer her or we sit on the couch and she has a BF then I put her in bed.

DD1 co slept, she moved to her own bed when she was almost 5 and going to start prep. DS would not co sleep, he liked his own space. Given the option both my big kids would co sleep now, I have considered buying another kings sized bed and putting it in the bedroom next to ours so we can have a supersized family bed!
