Advice re co sleeping at 10 months

[Aidedhoney]

Hiya Ladies,

A wee question for those that or have co slept.

Since moving in with my parents Alex and i have been sharing a room, over the last few weeks due to illness and teething he has gotton quite comfy in my bed (which i love).

We are due to move in to our own home next month.
I would love to contiune to co sleep but have concerns that now Alex is more mobile how do you make the bed safe?
Pillows and bed guards i know of but Alex goes to bed at 8pm and obviously i dont so how do i ensure that he is safe till i go to bed?

Any advice help or tips is greatly appreciated

Thanks xx

If he goes to bed and goes to sleep you will be fine with leaving him in the middle of the bed, its how I always did it with my older one. If hes not a sleeper it may well be worth putting him down in a cot til you go up to bed later.

Does he wriggle in his sleep? Im not sure if it's the best idea and my LO is quite a bit younger but I have the bed pushed up to the wall one side, his cot the other and then in the gaps I have rolled up blankets so he can't fall down them. I make sure all pillows are off the bed and I lie him on top of the blankets in a sleeping bag and then when he cuddles up next to me I take the sleepng bag off so he doesn't get to hot x

I put Dexter in his cot when he falls asleep, then he comes in beside me when I go to bed/when he wakes up.

Thanks ladies xx

Probably safer to pop him in his cot to begin with either that or got to bed at 8 lol
