Bed sharing question

For those of you who bedshare, what do you do if you have to leave LO overnight? My parents and in-laws are anxious for visits with LO but we bedshare, and I can't see how it's ever going to work!

Ha! This is what I'm afraid of!
Same for us here.
Us either. The price we pay for "doing it our way"... I also don't have any desire to leave him overnight yet.

Dear God, Since I couldn't hold my little one in my lap and tell him about you, could you hold him in your lap and tell him about me?
PgAL and PAL always welcome...Ditto - sorry!
Another ditto. She stopped bedsharing around 8 mo by her own choice. But besides that, until she was fully STTN (as in all night, not just 5-6 hours) around 12 mo and I stopped pumping when I was away from her, I wouldn't leave overnight her anyway. I didn't want to until then.
We haven't left LO overnight and TBH neither me nor H have any strong desire to do so yet. And beyond bedsharing, LO nurses at least once, but usually 2+ times a night.
Before LO arrived, MIL offered to watch him overnight "if we needed a break after a week"
and we said thanks but no thanks we will keep our 1wk old at home.
Perhaps I'm biased by my own experiences, but I know of very few people who leave their LO's overnight before 1-2yrs old outside of emergency or child birth type situations. Not judging those who do, because I can certainly see the appeal of a solid 8hrs just not something I see happen a lot so it really hasn't come up outside of the odd offer by MIL.
