Hiya.

Thanks Meg & Catherine for those suggestions. I have researched some different types of safety arrangements for co-sleeping. The snuggle bed is good for preventing roll-overs and will also prevent baby from falling out of bed. So will the little bed thing in the middle of the parents that you mentioned Catherine.
Unfortunately, these are not conducive to what I am trying to achieve. I want to assist in the nighttime feeding, and if Baby was in one of these, it would involve me still having to remove baby and get Baby onto the breast. The same situation with the Arms Reach Bassinet. I plan on having Baby's bassinet right next to me on my side of the bed, and Baby will start the night off in there, then, when he/she wakes for the first feeding, I will be bringing Baby into bed with us and feed, then sleep the rest of the night there.
I did think of side rails, but was wondering, wouldn't I still need to put a pillow behind Baby to prevent baby from getting squished between the mattress and the railing? I know they are soft and some even have mesh, but are they really that snug a fit with the bed?

Catherine ~ DF is 'iffy' about the idea of all night co-sleeping as it is, just for the safety factor, so Baby will definitely not be sleeping in between us, as he would get no sleep just for worrying about the Baby!
Thanks heaps guys for your input!
