Co sleeping with a crawling baby!

My son is 7 months and is crawling everywhere now. He has slept in our bed since 2 months old. We don’t really have the room to put up a crib nor can my mental health handle transitioning him into a crib. I’m just not ready. I’m trying to find options to keep him safe while staying in our bed. He goes to sleep at 7:30pm and we come to bed around 10:30 so there’s 3 hours of him being by himself. He has fallen off the bed once (he was perfectly ok and checked by a doc to be safe. But the bed is low to ground and I did put pillows on ground in case a accident occurred but it has raised my anxiety now) I found a rail on Amazon but it’s looking at 100-150 for the king size bed. Hoping to find a cheaper option for this.

Put the bed on the floor

@DJ AMMMM💕🫶🏼🙏 I have only a boxspring under it. No frame holding it up higher or anything. I can’t take the boxspring away and make it lower due to medical conditions it makes it very painful for me to be able to get up from the ground

I bought a floor mattress for my son at that age.

@Christina🤱🏼🍂☕️♈️ how did he do with it? My son level 100 Velcro baby so I’m definitely worried sleep will be done for with one😅 or that he will somehow sneak out of it

Been fine ever since. Anytime he needs me he comes and gets me. I’m fortunate to be in an apartment so no stairs and nothing to worry about to hurt him in the middle of the night if he wakes

@Christina🤱🏼🍂☕️♈️ we are in an apartment too so no stairs. I may have to try this! I think after some time he will get adjusted and it may be a great idea. Thank you!☺️

You’re welcome! If you have any other questions or want to talk further you can message me 😊

We found a mesh rail guard for king size bed for under £40 on Amazon, look today there is black Friday deals 🤗

Sleep sack helped slow our girl down. Other than that just the bed rails. Get extendable ones. Can use them in various beds. Otherwise as mentioned above a floor bed. And to avoid him sneaking out - a baby gate on the door and a camera.

@A_M 🌺🌈 I didn’t even think about a sleep sack. I have some still so I’m gonna try that! Thank you!

Get a baby gate for your room and a floor toddler bed

We got a bed rail from amazon for 20 pounds I think. Keep searching, as expensive ones do come up first. Ours is perfect and stopped our little one rolling off
