I have co slept with all of my kids. At the moment I am bed sharing with DS2, DD2 & DD3 - DH is away for work until Friday.

Because we have so many in the bed sometimes we took the side of the cot and put it against our bed. TBH, DD3 doesn't sleep in it. She sleeps in my arms but DD2 does sleep in it when she is in with us and I sometimes end up half in there.

The other way we made it work was to sleep head to toe with each other. It doesn't work for everyone but it certainly has for us.

I love sleeping with my babies and I am secretly wishing for DD3 to get the independence that DD2 got and will start wanting to sleep in the cot with the side on and away from our bed.
