We are playing around with sleeping arrangements at the moment too. We have a hammock set up in our room that my little one will sleep in. I have also had her in the bed, with my arm around her. And we also have a 'first years close & secure sleeper' that is a mini bassinette that goes in the parental bed for bub to sleep in.
At night i can't yet lift my little one, so when she is in the hammock DH has to get her for a feed and take her back. Having her in the bed eliminates this issue. When we are both really tired, i am bit wary of co-sleeping- and here's where the sleeper thing has come in really handy. It really helps being able to soothe her from bed, and easy access for feeding but the protective bit round her head lets me feel bit more secure.
Not sure what we will do long term, but having a few options is working for us at the moment.
