Co-sleeping question

karinothing

How do you co-sleep after your kid outgrows the co-sleeper? We don't have room to sidecar the crib or put down a floor bed. I don't want to bedshare. Is there some option I am missing?

We put a mattress on the floor - had to move some fur iTunes around to do it. You could also out a bed on the floor in the kiddos room and sleep there with him/her.

Hm, could you fit a pack n play in your room? Although, I can't remember off hand what the weight limit is on those.

We didn't think we'd have room to side car but we both sacrificed our night stands...

I've spent a lot of time bedsharing, but in a bed with just me and baby in baby's room. We've done a few nights of the 3 of us in a queen recently, and it does not work.

An Arm's Reach is an option, but that only buys you a few months. Not sure if that's the cosleeper you have, or if you have an in-bed model.

Yeah, we have the arm's reach. It says it is good till 5 months. I guess with a PNP we could place him in the bottom portion. We already have a bed set up in his room so we could always do that (but it is not nearly as comfy as the one in our room!).

You can also just move the Arm's Reach mattress down to the bottom at 5 or 6 months.

Oh, good point! It is the mini one though, I think he will get too big for it sooner rather than later.
