Until recently I was able to put DD down in her bed and then bring her in bed with me if/when she woke over night. That worked well and gave me freedom in the evenings to get stuff done before going to bed.

Tonight she would only fall asleep in my bed, so I've been sitting her in bed with my computer while she sleeps next to me. I don't have a monitor in my room and I'm concerned about her falling off the bed if she wakes up. How do you put your LO down in your bed and actually get things done after they go to sleep? I'm hoping once her molars come in we can get back to normal!
