    Cant work out how

    So I have the tandem feeding thing down pat. But I cant work out how to co-sleep with a toddler & a newborn. I cant have them next to each other because DD tosses & turns so much in her sleep. DS will happily sleep in the cot for every sleep except his night sleep so it's only the night sleep where he is co-sleeping with us.
    I have heard of bassinets that attach to the side of the bed but I dont know what they are called. Has anyone used them?

    Ummm I dunno about the bassinette on the side of the bed, I just had Eden in hers alongside the bed, and DS usually sleeps in between me and DH if that helps. Now Eden sleeps in her cot and we usually wake up with DS in the middle of us, and DD1 on my side next to the edge (I put my arm around her so she won't fall out)

    Sal - i've heard of people taking the side of the cot off and having that against one side of the bed to extend how wide the bed is.

    another one i heard about is (from memory) and arm's reach cosleeper or something like that

    Yeah, I have the side off the cot and it's right up next to the bed. I put her in there, she wakes, I slide her over, she feeds and then falls asleep and I slide her back!
    Too easy!

    I have Lucy on one side of me and Annabelle on the other. I have Annabelle between Clint and I as Im a little worried Clint would roll on Lucy as he's such a deep sleeper
