Co-Sleeping/Spoiling

So I know that I have heard that you can't spoil and infant by holding them too much but I think I just need to hear it again.  We have all become so used to sleeping together that when we try to do it any other way it doesn't seem to work as well.  This goes for Lexi, Ciara, and me.  Every night we've tried to start out with the bassinet we end up going to the snuggle nest, and then to just co-sleeping.  (The main reason we don't just co-sleep is because Ciara has diabetes and if her sugar gets low in the night she might not wake up if she rolled on the baby.)  Sometimes I grab her just because I can't see her or am nervous she's not breathing or just want to hold her.  Sometimes one of us will fall asleep while burping her (as you can see).

Now I'm worried because Lexi seems to sleep 

best (or at all) when she is physically touching one of us.  Yesterday she slept in the Moby Wrap and today I have been able to answer all of my emails and blog because she's asleep against my leg.  Its been a solid two hours that she has slept...by far the best all day.  Now I'm nervous to move (and do the things I need to like the laundry and dishes and vacuuming) because I'm so nervous she'll wake up and start crying again, and then I still won't get things done AND i'll have a screaming baby.  So am I "spoiling her"?  Am I setting myself up for her only being able to sleep when she is touching me for the next year?  Please tell me no...and if I am tell me how to fix it:)

Still Awake..

So its 1am and we are all still awake which is not that unusual for me..but for Ciara and little Lexi this is pretty late!!!  If you drink caffeine during the day does it get into breast milk and then make the baby stay awake?  I know this is my second time around but everything feels like it is the first time because Tyler was a baby SO long ago!!!!  I am feeling so scattered because there are just so many things I want to get out but tonight it looks like thats going to be a major challenge so i'll make a list of things to address:)....

1. Fussy babies: What calming tricks work?  What's normal?  When do I worry? 
2. Family beds/Co-sleeping: the transition to a crib or bassinet, 8 year old still coming into bed, snuggle nest
3. Breast feeding: supply, pain!!!!, how can you tell if what you're eating is bothering the baby and how do you fix it?
4. Much older sibling: how to create a good balance (attention, buying things, etc.)
5. Baby acne and diaper rash on a girl baby
6. Babies of color: when do they get their color?  When will hair get curly? Baby doesn't look like mommy.

So I had three small victories in the close to two hours it took to finish this post: First she stopped crying, Second she took the pacifier and gave my poor tatas a break, and Third SHE'S ASLEEP!!!!!
