My husband and I have two children, a girl 3 yrs old and our son who is 6 months old. They BOTH sleep with us. While it is crowded it has been great! Being a breastfeeding mom it is nice to have baby right there to nurse on demand, but it is also a nice bonding time for us. The kids definitely sleep better, feel more secure and we like the closeness. Dont let anyone talk you out of giving it a try...while it may not be for everyone it definitely worked for us.
