Advantages: Comfortable for baby

Disadvantages: None

My eldest daughter who is almost 2 years now, always hated her cot. For the first 3 months or so she slept well in her own space, but after that she always wanted to come to my bed. I would let her sleep on the bed and when she had fallen asleep I would put her back in her cot. We did this for about a year.
Then at one year we decided to move her into her own room and her own bed. And she was quite happy there and would occasionaly come to our bed.
After the birth of my second baby my eldest daughter wanted to sleep with me. My eldest and I shared the bed for a few days while my new baby was on the cot, but this didn't work out as the newborn always disturbed my 2 year old. During this time the new born slept in the same room as me, sometimes on my bed or on her cot. While my 2 year old was with my husband.
Now that my second is older and doesn't wake up much my eldest daughter and I share the bed.
I NEVER keep my 3 month old on the bed even for a minute when my 2 year old is also on the bed.
I think co sleeping is fine as long as you are sure you won't roll over your baby, or if your baby is big enough.

Summary: As long as I think it's safe I'll do what my little one is more comfortable with.
