Can 18 month old DD share a bed with me and 4 year old DS?

I was just wondering at what age you can stop worrying about sleeping in the c position and duvets etc when co sleeping? DH is going away for work, we usually split the night wakings as DS is still a bad sleeper. I was thinking I might just put us all in the same bed from the beginning to keep things simple, but I didn't know if that would still be considered unsafe?

I've coslept with both of mine since DS was a newborn. He's now 2, and DD is 4. I do the C pose when he wakes up in the night for a feed. DD is on the other side of me. It works for us.

Thank you. Currently if I need to cosleep with DD I'll make a floor bed in her room, as our double is quite high off the ground. If I do sleep us all in there she'll have to go in the middle to stop her falling out, so I guess I'm a little worried DS will roll on her or something 😬

Yes! My 3yo and 1yo always wake up overnight. Husband and I both work nights sometimes, and when one of us is away the other has a sleepover with both children.

I used to put the double up against the wall so neither child could fall out

Roll up a towel or blanket to tuck under sheet to stop them rolling out. At thoose ages will be fine.
