I need to get some bed rails as I am currently co-sleeping with DS, nearly 11 weeks old, and our arrangement with kitchen chairs against the bed isn't great.
Looking at bed rails eg the Lindam ones, lots seem to say they are suitable for toddlers, not from birth - is that because they are unsafe for co-sleeping, or because they are designed for use in toddler beds and would actually be okay for co-sleeping?
Unfortunately although the bed is against a wall, a radiator in the way means I need a rail on both sides of the bed so he doesn't fall down a gap between radiator & wall on that side.
The bed has a divan base, and I definitely need rails rather than bumpers as it is a single bed (no room for anything bigger, and we only have single beds as DH suffers from insomnia if I'm in with him. ) I'm very much hoping that DS's sleep improves before the single bed becomes way too small, instead of just too small.
I may have to get a bedside cot as well before too long, but am trying to hold off for now as I don't particularly want to co-sleep, but it's the only way he will drop off at night.
