DS is 5 and on a mattress next to our bed. This is a recent thing, he was always sleeping with us.

But - now he has to go on a mattress next to the bed cos there is no room in the bed. We already have 5 in the bed most nights. (there were 5 in the bed, and the big mama said - I just want some FREAKIN' SLEEP!!!)

Last night DH got up to get DD3 who was crying and bring her into our bed, and nearly trod on DD1 who had camped out near the door, asleep, on a triangle pillow.. bahahahahaha

Sooo... obviously I have no advice because all my kids sleep with me! LOL
