Been sleeping with our son for about 5 months now. That's been since he was about 13 months old - he's 18mos now.
We have had attachment challenges. I have to say the biggest (BY FAR) thing to help us has been co-sleeping, or some call it the family bed. The first time we tried he just screamed and hated every minute. But I made him stay - holding him. Very diffucult. Then he accepted it but tried to make an immediate break for it as soon as he woke. Had no interest in cuddling. Now he cuddles all night, wakes and we cuddle more. He'll often stay in bed w/us for at least 15-20 minutes before wanting down. It has really helped.
We have a portable crib in the room. he stays there until I go to bed and then I put him into bed with me. Works great. Naps in the crib.
