Co-sleeping experiences please! (For moral support)

I co-sleep with my daughter (6 mo) and have done since birth. She is no 4 and I chose to co-sleep this time so that I can get enough sleep to look after 4 (7yo, and twin 3yo boys).

I am happy with the choice and about 80% of the time she feeds 3-4 times with breaks between which is fine. The 20% are less fun when she wants to feed most of the night and wakes whenever I try to remove nipple.

She feeds to sleep at night around 7.30pm and generally spends the first couple of hours sleeping on my lap until I transfer her upstairs, where she usually, but not always, sleeps on until I get up there around 10.30-11ish. She falls asleep in the sling in the daytime without feeding but wakes when she is taken out of it.

Didn't co-sleep with the boys except the odd night here and there, so I'm looking for reassurance that it is possible to go on like this and come out at the other end with a healthy sleep pattern without the need for any crying based sleep training??
I did sleep train my eldest and wish I hadnt, don't want to do it again

I have two rather different sleep experiences, izzy was an angel baby and toddler, slept fab and still does age six, she sometimes co sleeps now but will still sleep well in her own bed. Leon woke 1-2 hourly from birth to 18 months !

At age 2 he sleeps well, they both sleep in the same bed

No sleep training needed,I liked no cry sleep solution by Elizabeth pantley

I co slept with child no2. Moved into his cot at around 10m. Almost always sleeps through now, no probe. Child no3 is now 10m and were working on leaving bed sharing behind and getting him into the cot! It's just a gentle , slow transition imo!

I co-slept and moved dd1 into her own cot at around 11 months. no training needed at all but I was lucky that she has been a creature of routine. it makes things a lot easier to anticipate tiredness rather than try and bend to a clock iykwim x

Hi Maximama, just wondering how you're getting on with cosleeping now? Your experience here sounds like where we are at currently, except I can't transfer my baby. He only stays asleep in contact with me or dh!
