Cosleeping with a super wiggly baby.

Any tips? I'm getting very little sleep.

I co sleep with DD and she is super wiggly. She sleeps till I come to bed in her crib and then with me after that. We got a king size bed so she has a little more wiggle room. lol. Sometimes if I just hold onto her and snuggle up, she doesn't wiggle as much, its when she has free reign that its a nightmare. I usually sleep with my arm under her.

I feel your pain! DD is a very restless sleeper, rolls and squirms a lot. I had so much trouble cosleeping with her because I'm such a light sleeper that every time she moved I woke up.

 A big bed, or side-carring a crib, might help.

For us, the only real solution was to put DD in a crib (with the side up), right beside our bed. We've both been sleeping loads better since the move.

This, except I usually try to put my arm next to rather than under his head so that it's easier for me to move with out waking him.
