It's just a posh word for having the baby in the bed with you but it's something that everyone seems to have an opinion on. "You're making a rod for your own back", blaa, blaa.
However research shows that you are likely to breastfeed for longer if you co-sleep, and I can see why; no getting up in the night, baby just snuggles a little bit closer and helps themselves. You get more sleep and the baby is happy. Plus you get to sleep snuggled up with the cutest little bundle of delight. And get woken up by them practicing blowing raspberries on your boob :)
If I needed any reassurance that I'm not storing up problems for myself then the kellymom website (great breastfeeding resource) gives it: http://www.kellymom.com/parenting/sleep/comfortnursing.html
