I'm trying to think of a safe way to cosleep with our toddler and baby in our queen sized bed with a side-carred crib. When DS was itty bitty we hadn't moved the crib yet and he slept in the middle on a sleep positioner until he squished down in it one night. I'm thinking the snuggle nest may be a good idea, but I wasn't sure if is actually safe. I also think the middle would be best for baby because of the crack b/w the mattresses. Is there a better solution? Is the snugglenest worth $50?

i dont think theyre worth $50. we got one from tjmaxx we used the first couple of months, and i think we paid $15 dollars for it. it had no lights or sound or vibration, it was just something with little sides to put in the bed. i think we stopped using it around the time he started rolling over

ETA, i think it was this one we had

We had one with ds1, and it was useful for just a little bit there - when he was really small. We were new to co-sleeping and it did provide some peace of mind, with little walls around him. Worth getting, perhaps, but probably not for full price.

IMO it would be a total PITA b/c you'd have to lift them out and in to nurse.

Any ideas on how safe? After using the sleep positioner I read how they may pose a suffocation risk

We have the travel version, which we've used for travel with very small babies. I like it when in an unfamiliar bed that isn't against a wall and has lots of pillows, but we tried it in our queen bed when we first got it, and no way. It was just too big.

What we eventually did was get a twin bed and put it next to the queen. It's against the wall, then the two beds are right up against each other, so we have one HUGE bed. We found a console table at Target that we got two of and put end-to-end at the head of the bed, which is the perfect length for a headboard for the whole thing.

see for me, thats not a problem. hes almost 2, and i still sit up to nurse him at night

. i cant figure out nursing lying down. doesnt help that we can only do the football hold and my boobs are still bigger than his head

I would just put the toddler in the crib and the baby in the middle on the bed and save your money.
