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!
