Co-sleeping Mamas- Bedtime?

Question

I'm curious about bedtimes/putting a young baby to bed when you cosleep. My son is still a baby and we've been cosleeping. I really enjoy it and but I'm not sure how to go about putting him to bed when he falls asleep around 7-8 and I'm not really ready to go to bed until 10-ish. I don't want to leave him in the bed by himself as he has begun rolling around and I'd hate to have him make his way off the bed. But I also don't want to keep him up for the sake of going to bed later. Do y'all just turn in early with the baby? Or do you just put them in bed? Thanks, ladies!
PLEASE no comments about "dangers" of cosleeping, how I'm irresponsible, etc., etc.- I don't need to hear it.

Answer

Buy a pool noodle and cut it in half - you can put a piece under the fitted sheet on both sides of the baby. It's firmer than a pillow, cheap, and keeps the baby from rolling too far. Slightly inconvenient if you want to then remove it once you go to bed, but not that bad and it should hopefully help you feel better leaving your little one in there alone for a while.

Answer

I usually only bed shared when my BF would leave at 4am to work. What I'd do is let my son fall asleep in his bassinet or pac n play and before he'd leave he'd bring the baby to bed. It was just easier that way because of nurse him when he's get up.

Answer

My LO sleeps around 1030. She usually goes down for a nap around 8, but inevitably gets up around 10 when I'm starting to get ready for bed. That's when I BF for the last time. It's worked out well for us

Answer

I just put pillows on either side of my daughter to keep her from rolling off the bed.

Answer

How old? I co slept with my son. I would put him in bed around 8 and had the monitor facing the bed. My living room was close to my bedroom so if he sat up I ran into the bedroom.
