When baby comes into your bed

For those who co sleep or bring baby into your bed partway through the night… Where are you putting baby in the bed? If you have a partner, is baby in middle of you both or just on your side? Scared of baby falling out of the bed but I remember reading that baby shouldn’t be in the middle. When does safe sleep seven not apply anymore?

my baby fell of bed ..so middle it is..13 months now always slept with us and no issues

My baby sleeping in the middle and we have no problems. Since having him we aren’t deep sleepers if we hear any sort of noise from him we are awake even if it’s him laughing in his sleep .

That is great to know thank you both

I put her in the middle of us but shift both of our pillows away towards the edge of each side a bit so she has a clear gap and I have her up a bit more towards the headboard

In the middle , I have duvet , she has her sleeping bag no pillow and husband has small duvet on feet and dressing gown

Oh these are good tips, thank you both :)

There’s a Facebook group called happy co sleepers with loads of good advice too :)

My little girl often sleeps in the middle of us and has done for a long time now, she’s 14 months now. I do the same with the pillows always pull them to the side and I just keep the duvet pulled down off her and she is in a sleeping bag. We’ve never had any issues and she loves sleeping between us. I found it personally safer as it keeps her away from sides of the bed and also she would have to climb over us to get anywhere and that would wake us!

I think do what feels right for you and if pillow & duvets are a concern tucking them out of the way gave me peace of mind :)

In the middle of us usually however sometimes won't settle that way so goes on the outside, but loves to be spooned so he's held the whole time hes there
