Keeping family bed safe when baby is rolling over

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I'm co-sleeping with my 5month old in our family bed. It is usually just him and me in the queen sized bed for my husband is at sea. We're co-sleeping because I like it and because he is a voracious eater - still nurses every two hours during the night so I actually get some sleep when he's in the bed with me. The problem is that he is now rolling with gusto and I am scared he will roll himself out of bed. I don't particularly want to disassemble our bed and sleep on just the mattress because the frame is large, heavy, and I don't have any place to store it. We also have a co-sleeper that attaches to the bed, so I sometimes use this, but he is a big baby and when he rolls and kicks, the co-sleeper (which is on extenders to make it as tall as the bed) is really unstable and I am worried it may collapse with the motion so I haven't put him back in that. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to make seeping together safe at this stage? Thanks!

Hi,

 

We use the First Years bedrails and have recently also put our mattress on the floor.
