Just wondering how you physically sleep with your kids.

DS (9 wks) has reflux so I usually sleep with him in the crook of my arm, so reeeally close to me. I am trying to figure out some other ways to sleep. Since I am on a pillow, he is propped. If he isn't this way, how else could we sleep? He hates his co-sleeper so he is in bed all night and we nurse when he wakes up, usually both of us fall asleep as he is nursing.

He usually will put one or both arms up (for naps) and doesn't tilt, BUT he doesn't roll yet. so trying to figure out what other positions will be best.

hope that makes sense!

ideas with descriptions please

TIA!!

Hmm...don't know if this would work with reflux but I used to roll a towel between the co sleeper and the baby (who was always in our bed) and he/she could lay on their side. Does that make sense?

We don't have reflux issues at all, but physically, we are just three wide, but DS doesn't get a pillow. DH and I have both switched to smaller pillows, so DS gets a little space. But, if he gets to the point that he is smooshed, then the crib is still side-carred (although generally unused after the first waking in the night). So far, it's worked out fine for us.
