MOTN bed sharing...

How do you do it safely? 
This may be a stupid question. 

My guy is working on 4 teeth right now, he's down to one nap, in a new class and walking. So, his sleep is kinda disrupted at the moment. He wakes up and generally just wants to be held since he'll go right back to sleep on us or he's just happy being near us. I'm tempted to bring him to our bed, but I have always had all these fears about bed sharing. So, what do you do at this age? Remove all pillows, blankets, significant others... ?

I'm just so sleepy and I need a plan :)

    All of the things you said. DH moves to the couch, I remove pillows and I keep just enough blanket for me, but make sure DD is a good distance away from it (I only pull it up to my waist). We try to avoid doing this too much, we don't want it to become a habit, but we're in the same boat as you with the teething, except instead of four teeth it's more like 12. :((

    Ds flips around all
    Night so it's annoying for us to bedshare but I also don't really worry anymore and blankets
    And pillows. He never stays in one spot long enough for it to matter I don't think. We each still keep our pillow and use just the sheet and he's normally sleeping horizontal with his head in DHs side and his feet in mine !

    Thanks all! Knowing how paranoid I am I'd probably get less sleep. We shall see his tonight goes!

    I regularly haul DS into bed and cuddle with him if he needs it.  Once he's settled back down, DH moves him back into his crib (by some miracle he rarely awakens when this happens) and we all go back to sleep.

    Last night DH had to pick up his brother at the airport in the middle of the night (he works for the CBC and was coming home from Sochi!).  I had DS on me and was stuck there until he got back because I can't transfer him as gently as DH does.  It was sweet having him snuggle and sleep on me, but MAN did I have to pee.
