DD1 coslept with us right up until I got pregnant and at that time we got a new bed for us and her and she is now sleeping in her twin bed.

The new bed of ours is a pillow top and much softer (and bigger) than our old.

DD2 is 3mo next week. She has been sleeping on top of my arm since she was born when she wasn't on my chest. I was getting ready to lay her in the middle of the bed but it is so soft that she can roll over in an instant. (She doesn't roll yet either direction on a floor type surface) I really want to cosleep and we spent a lot of money on the bed. Is there anything I can do short of getting a different bed? Don't want to hold her to sleep anymore

Don't exactly have room at this time either for a sidecar/arms reach.

I obviously will not risk her safety just wondering if you all knew of any ways to position her safely in the current bed. Just to clarify my worry at this time is her ending up face down in the mattress not falling off the bed.

Another note, the reason I was holding her is because she would only sleep that way and couldn't be set down without waking in a total panic about where I was. I feel like she's come to know the bed a bit and smells and what not that she may be ok waking off of me now. TIA for any help.
