I agree 100% about the breastfeeding and letting kids sleep with you... it is the best food and comfort and the best way for all to get more sleep...
A sling or wrap (to carry baby) can be your best friend... babies who are carried cry less...
Just enjoy every moment... it goes by so fast!

Yes slings are great! I forgot about that one. Not only does the baby love it, but you free your hands up and the baby is easier to carry around for longer periods of time.
My son is not even two yet, but he would rather walk...rather wander around on his own two feet now. So it does not last forever, haha, but it is well worth it while you can.
My son also does not ask for milk much anymore. Well he calls it "mup" hah, but he weened himself off of it and we didn't not offer him a bottle. He decided he liked solid food and water better. This is amazing because my little man was a high-need baby which makes for a hard time. I thought no rest or independence on his part would ever come.
So it goes to show you that you never know what will happen. Enjoy it man, you will have the best time of your life with your baby!
