Both our children sleep in our bed (which is large), and I recommend
this arrangement.

We find that it is much easier to fall right back to sleep after (or
while) attending to the crying baby, if all you have to do is roll over
and nurse the baby, rather than get out of bed, turn on a light, etc.,
etc.
