I had three kids in under 4 years then took a little break and my 4th is 6 months old. This probably sounds nuts but I don't remember being so obsessed with my other babies...either im forgetting or im just appreciating him more cuz of the gap. I nurse him to sleep at night in my bed and then he is just so cute and delicious that I can't move him and I end up snuggling with him as I fall asleep. I know im creating a terrible habit. I should just move him to his crib - but he is so delicious!!! anyone else do the same thing?

Imo, bad idea from a safety perspective. And down the line, you might want your bed back to yourself...

Kinda but I end up sleeping with my baby cuz I’m lazy to put him down. I love him to
Pieces but I’d be able to love him better during the day if I get a better nights sleep. Take it from the expert I slept w all my kids. It
Doesn’t pay. My 6y/o can still come into my
Bed during the night.

I don't think you're nuts because I don't think I'm nuts (most of the time ) and I did it with all of my 8 kids, and I would do it again if I could!
[As far as safety I did a lot of research (after the first AAP statement in the 90's) and was very satisfied that it was safe for my family, in my situation. OP and anyone else who co-sleeps should do their own research and determine that their baby/environment is low risk.]

I co-slept my youngest for as long as I could. She slept better with me and I slept better with her. I adored that time. OP, all babies eventually outgrow it. If it's good for you and good for baby, go for it. Be safe, obviously, but enjoy this time.

I co-sleep for a loooong time. Love it that I don't have to get up to nurse. It would also be such a hassle to transfer. My babies always woke up if I ever dared. After a few weeks, baby just latches on by him/herself without me even waking up.
Baby sleeps on side next to wall, bed pushed all the way to the wall, and I am the 'barrier' at the other end.

I wedged baby in with a boppy pillow around her swaddle and the pillow propped up a little (it's hard to explain exactly without showing) to make sure she stayed on her back and that no pillows or blankets would cover her. I'm also a very light sleeper, so any movement or the slightest sound she made woke me. And my face was close to hers, it was a beautiful time.

That happened to me too.
I love all my kids but suddenly this most recent baby and I'm going crazy. Snuggle all night, kissing baby all day, creating bad habits but loving every minute.

If everyone's happy and safe it's not a bad habit-- just enjoy this time because it goes by so fast! trust me-- it will be over before you know it! (My baby just turned 9  )

Nope not at all. My aunt who works full time has been doing it by choice for years, she did with all her kids. Said it was the only way she could have managed with her full time job for two reasons : She missed her baby all day and felt that the night made up for it and also was worth it to not be needing to get out of bed. Her kids all moved into their own beds quite nicely and turned out just fine.

I get you, OP. There are cosleeper cribs which are basically small baby beds with three sides of bars, and one side open to imas bed, which are much safer than leaving him just in your bed. You can have him right next to you, but neither you nor your bedding can smother him. I'll try and find a link

You’ll regret this when your kid is two, or four, or seven and you can’t get him out of your bed.
