Happily co-sleeping with toddler - how would newborn fit into this arrangement?

Hi

I have a sneaking suspicion I might be pregnant with my second child. And, a bit bizarrely, one of the first things I've thought about is how we would make co-sleeping continue to work should a new baby arrive around the time of ds's 3rd birthday.

At the moment, I sleep with ds in his room. Dp sleeps in our bed in our bedroom. Ds will sleep with only me, or me and Dad, but not just Dad.

I'd prefer ds to start sleeping independently when he is ready, but equally, I can't imagine ds coping with the all-night crying/fussing/fidgeting/breastfeeding/nappy-changing of a newborn in his room; he'd become knackered to the point of misery for all of us. And, it would be his room being "invaded"; not a good plan?

Anyone got any ideas for either gently getting ds to sleep by himself in good time, or for making co-sleeping continue to work peacefully and restfully for all, should a new arrival be on its way? Thanks.
