Boyfriend keeps co-sleeping on the sofa

I need some serious advice! I have caught my partner falling asleep with our baby on the sofa multiple times now.

Tonight, I had a shower went to the living room and there he is again sleeping with the baby on the sofa. I have told him every time how dangerous it is and that it could kill our baby but tonight I lost it! I’m just at a loss he seems to think the baby will be fine but I’ve told him if it was fine then no baby would’ve ever died from this, I’ve shown him the safe sleeping guidelines, sent him videos of parents that have lost their babies this way and straight up told him he’s going to kill our baby but he just thinks I’m moaning and being dramatic.

I’ve threatened him that if I catch him doing it one more time I will be leaving him for the safety of our child. Has anyone else got any advice on what to do? He’s amazing with everything else but this!

Honestly so tempted to leave him because of this!

Would it be worth considering the path of least resistance here? Could you put a travel cot or Moses basket next to the sofa and ask him to pop the baby in there before he dozes off?

Dont leave baby with him or leave. Those are the only options.
