I need help to wean off bed sharing. :(

Hello - This morning I woke up to DS crying.  I was on his arm.  :(  This has scared me terribly.  I can't possibly sleep with him anymore.  I'm too scared.  How do I stop this?  I used to have him sleep high and I would sleep by his waist but he is becoming more mobile and he is scootching to the boob for food.  The other issue is that he is getting to big for his bassinet.  So - if he isn't sleeping with me then he will move into his crib.  Our room is an over sized closet.  No room for crib or PNP.  Please help.  :( I don't know what to do.

    Can you roll up towels and put them between your mattress and fitted sheet to create a little area that he can't roll over?  They have a commercial version that goes at the edge of the bed to keep a LO from rolling out.

    If you don't feel comfortable with the situation then you should definitely change it.  There is no point in bed sharing if you aren't getting any sleep because you are scared of hurting him.  My DS was much older, 13 months, so what we did wouldn't work for you.  Can you nurse him until he is asleep or super drowsy and then transition him to his crib?

    Unconvential approach:

    Get a pool noodle.  One of those long foam floatie toys, for like $5.  Cut it into 3 pieces that form a baby-sized U.  Stick those pieces in your LO's "space" on the bed, under the sheet.  Put baby in the U.  That way, you won't roll over onto him and he'll have his own space.
