I'm not sure if you are still looking for advice, but I have experience with it... My 8 yr old stayed in the bed with me (and hubby) since day 1, when I got pregnant with my second when he was 16 mths old, we set up his room with a toddler bed (he could get out of his playpen since 9 mths un-assisted, and never had a crib) so we made sure it was fun and playful and
gave him that option, we also set up a separate cot beside out bed, so he could be with us still (I was not comfortable being pregnant with a toddler and hubby in bed then, knowing I would have a baby soon) since I was pregnant I was able to talk about it to him and explain why he was going to have to one day move to his own bed (in our room or his) by the time I had the baby he was starting the nights in his own bed and if he woke up he would come into his cot beside our bed... I let him continue like that as long as he wanted, it took time but I did not push him
at all, same with
breast feeding I let him make the choice... when I left my hubby (now ex) the boys were both big enough (2 and 4 yrs) for me to be comfortable with them both in bed with me, and I was still nursing my younger one until he was around 3.5 yrs old, so we just had a big bed with us all piled in, I miss those days so much: (so how did I finally get them both out of my bed?

feeding tube that leads to the nipples and it can carry donor milk or formulas or surplus milk that the mother is not making so that the mother can
feed at the
breast, or a mother may do some
feeding at the
