I have been cosleeping with my lo since he was 6 months, and he's now 10 months old.
I'm considering putting him in his own room as I don't think he needs me anymore, we've night weaned and that went really well and now he's started sleeping through the night and he doesn't need to be touching me to go to sleep hes quite happy sleeping on his own in our bed.
I'm considering getting him a floor bed. 1 so he can lots of space and 2 if he ever needs me in bed with him I can easily just go there but my questions when they figure out they can't get out of bed how do you stop them because with a cot its got the sides so they can't get out but what about a floor bed? How are we keeping them safe? All I can think is when he gets to like toddler age he'll likely be in and out bed a lot.

Close the door and baby proof the room. You can get barrier to go around the bed but it gets quite expensive and not usually recommended for under 1s

We've put a gate on the bedroom door and babyproofed the room.

Baby proof the room and keep door closed. I got my twins a a floor bed each at 8 months and I think if they're in it earlier then the whole novelty of getting in and out just doesn't happen because they're used to it and know no different. All my 3 have had floor beds from young and I never had this problem. They only get out when they want me to come sleep with them or they're up for the day. Even my twins only ever got in each other's bed halfway through the night once or twice.

My boy has been in a floor bed since he was 10 months, he’s now 19 months and has never got out the bed in the night or in the morning he just waits for me! The room is baby proof tho and door is kept shut. His floor bed has sides so he can’t roll out but it has a little open part where he can still get in and out by himself x
