Arm's Reach Co-sleeper - Original

Ok maybe i'm just dumb. I got the whole thing together but I can't figure out how to connect it to the bed. Can anyone help?

I am no help b/c we have ours set up like individual bassinets.  (we have 2 mini co-sleepers)  They look like mini pack n plays next to our bed.  Our bed is really high so they would not work the regular way (attacing to the bed) unless we got the height extender legs. 

We just pull them next to our bed and it works for us.

I sold ours so I don't have the owners manual anymore. But basically there are these long straps that attach to the cosleeper, go under your mattress, and then are held in place on the other side of your mattress by a little board thing that goes perpendicular to your mattress so they can't slide back under the mattress. Make sense?

Ok I see now. I couldn't envision what they were going for. I found a good picture in an online manual for the sleigh bed version but I get the concept now.

I also have one mini co-sleeper and now i am considering to just buy another mini. How did you get out of bed if one was next to each other though? Did you breast feed? Did they used to wake up at the same time for feedings?

Sorry for all the questions. Babies should be here at the end of the month and i need to finish up with the nursery and buy everything i need for the first few months?

Did you also use cloth or disposable diappers?

Thanks,
