terrified of kicking duvet and pillows onto baby

Not due to a while but starting to look at baby stuff. Obv most of the early months cribs (e.g. next to me and snuzpod) are designed to be next to the bed. However, I am a real mover in my sleep - I toss, i kick, I chuck my pillows onto the floor and my duvet gets tossed everywhere. So terrified to accidently tossing it on top of baby and it suffocating.

Are these things safe to move away from the bed and stand alone? any other big sleep movers....what did you do?

Do you have room to set up a full size cot in your bedroom?

You don’t have to have the side down.

You can have the side up and it doesnt have to be right next to the bed, it is just handier like that for feeding (particularly after c section)

I just kept my big v shape pregancy pillow out, it ran along the side but never went in

I used a Moses basket/stand and had it next to the bottom corner of the bed on one side and against the built in wardrobes. It wasn't far from the bed but wouldn't get anything thrown on it or knocked.
We've recently moved house and I'm pregnant again and I have no idea where to keep the small cot or Moses basket at night this time. All around the bed is open space so could easily be knocked.

I was scared of it too. I tended to sleep halfway down the bed so no risk with the duvet. Tbh you sleep way lighter when there’s a baby next to you.

I had a next to me next to my bed, but I kept the sides up so it wasn't actually attached. Worked perfectly for us.
