Bed sharer- need advice !

Hi all, I don't post here much but I have a question, and I think this board is the best place for it. TIA. I've been bed sharing with our 3 month old since birth, but lately he has started to wiggle all night. He smacks himself in the head, me in the face, will push on my breasts, and even kick my stomach. It's getting to be really annoying lol. I've tried swaddling, but he usually busts out of it in aout 15 minutes. I've tried Nursing on both breasts, which will get Him sleepy but he still wiggles. Lastly, I tried just placing him in his cradle at the bedside and he still will wiggle, kicking and waking himself up until he starts to cry. Help! Does anyone have similar experiences? What can I do ? I would prefer to bedshare, but I'm afraid I will never get sleep without being kicked constantly :(

    A better swaddle. ;) I ended up using a "woombie" - basically a sleep sack that is super snug. My Lo would break out of the swaddle at that age too, and when she started trying to roll over and crawl she would "practice" in her sleep. I had a really hard time getting a good swaddle because she would wiggle the whole time and fight it. I also used the miracle blanket with some success until she got too tall for it. 

    And I sidecared the crib around that time so she could have her own space.

    Miracle Swaddle.  We didn't let DD sleep with us until she stopped the flailing, around 3-4 months.
