I have heard of people cutting the end of the Secure Sleeper (the foot bit) so that bub can sleep in it a bit longer.
You can also try transitioning bub to a cot by putting him in the Secure Sleeper in the cot.
Having the cot up next to your bed and sliding him in once he is asleep.
Putting a safety rail on your bed and having him sleep in with you.

good luck in working it out

When mine are little I have them in the crook of my arm also. The weight of them is enough to remind me are there, & I never let myself cet comfy enough to fall into a really deep sleep iykwim. I have her in the cot next to the bed atm, since she sleeps through in there, but if DH is at work (leaves at 4am) & she wakes she comes in with me.
Don't trust DH with her in there just yet, even though my last 2 were in there from only a few days old. Also, DS is in our bed alot & moves around way too much, kicking & stuff for me to have her near him, lol.
Friends of ours have 2 boys co sleeping & have a cot on either side of the bed with the side closest to the bed off the cot. They also have a king size bed, so that helps. But with the cots there they can move them in & out of the bad as needed, but they are still sleeping with them iykwim.

Thanks girls for the helpful suggestions! I had planned to use the Secure Sleeper to transition him into his cot, but due to the jumbo sized cot we bought ("it will last him longer") it doesn't fit in the bedroom next to our bed, and I'm not ready to have him in a seperate room away from me! So I think a safety rail might be the best bet from here - I can see a lot of squishy nights for me, jammed in between DH & DS who both sleep like starfish (a 3 month old starfish still takes up a surprising amount of room! hehehe)
