Is there a railing that will prevent the baby from 'falling' out of our bed?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I'm almost certain i've seen this somewhere. I'm hoping one of you can point me to a product online that we can order. Is there something that I can put on my side of the bed that will allow me to move the baby closer to the edge and prevent her from rolling/falling out? We are 4 now in the family bed, and although it's a king size, it's sparse as DH is 6'5" and DS is 6 and very squirmy at nite and we just all feel so jammed up against one another because I'm not comfortable having the babe in the middle so I put her between me and the edge and end of trying to sleep as close to the middle of the bed as possible as I'm afraid of having her to close to the edge. Sorry I hope I'm not ramblilng too much and making any sense.

Any ideas on a product?
Thanks

When our kids were babies, we had our mattress on the floor - Our best setup was two queens side by side, on the floor.

We just used the same kind of bed rail you would use for a toddler's bed.

Our regular bed rail made too much of a gap for me to feel comfortable with the new baby in bed. We also have 4 people and a king sized bed.

Since we weren't buying any other baby gear or anything we decided to get the Humanity Family Sleeper.

I love it! It's easy to wash, and nice to just wash the pad instead of all the sheets and mattress pad when there's a mess. The only drawbacks are that the pad is more blanket-like and it gets a little wrinkled under us with 4 people moving in the bed. It's not so bad that I regret buying it though. I can lean on the pillow at night and it doesn't move off the edge of the bed, or the baby can sleep on that side and I know she isn't going to smother or roll off.
