Co-sleeping and pillows

[Doodlegoogle]

Planning to cosleep but can't do without pillows. I'm aware I (and DP?) arent meant to use them with a newborn in the bed so how do people manage?

You put your baby down level with you boobs.

Yep, what Bella said. DS was never anywhere near my pillow.

Thanks. Do they tend to wriggle away?

I've visions of losing the baby in the bed...

IME, DS didn't start to wriggle about until he was crawling (9mo). The most he would do is roll on to his side and mooch about until he found my boob. Like everyone else has said, I just sleep on one pillow that he is no where near. DH and I did get separate single duvets though so we could make sure our big one didn't get pulled over him. Primark do cheap ones.

My DS never wriggled away - but I slept with my arm out above his head and bent down at the elbow next to him, if you can imagine it - so he couldn't have moved far anyway, and it prevented me from accidentally rolling over. He wasn't a wriggly baby anyway - and he was in his cot by the time he was 6mo because by then we were both disturbing each other's sleep.

We're getting rid of the duvet too - I'm always waking up finding my partner has throw it on top of me so that will be no good for baby. Single duvet for him and blankets for me may be the answer. I think I sleep like that anyway so hopefully won't be too much of a change. Will hope this one isn't a wriggler.

Thanks
