I just wondered as I havent found any beyond the little newborn stage. Are the guidelines the same, as in move all pillows" arm and knees up around them etc.

My 10mo is teething pretty bad atm and comes in with us sometimes 4/5am. We are going away next week and after the last hol where he refused his travel cot (still recovering from the sheer lack of sleep 3 months ago 😂) i am anticipating some upcoming cuddles and want to make sure hes safe. Esp as hes so mobile now...

We will be in a hotel so i dont know how easy it may be

I think it's basically the same, don't drink/smoke/take drugs, firm mattress, no pillow or duvet near them, make sure they can't fall out or get wedged anywhere.

OK I assumed so. Are they OK in between two adults? I am sure I just read somewhere this is a no no which is odd as I cant imagine everyone wedges their bed against a wall and once baby is mobile all bets are off surely?

Depends how likely you think it is that either of you would roll on the baby. Only sleeping next to the breastfeeding mother is safest, anything else you just have to risk assess for yourself.
