Take off a side of the crib and attach it to your bed. Mine is similar but I love this one😁
Co sleeper/current situation
Okay so I’m in a one bedroom. Baby and I will be sharing a room for the time being. I have 5 months until she’s here but want to clear up the situation. Below shows how close baby and I will be given the size of the room. I don’t know if I should let her sleep in the crib or some suggest I get a cosleeper that fits in the bed. I can’t get a bassinet because I just don’t have the space. I have like one more room arrangement to try but this is how it sits now. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.
Update: thank you all for your help, support and feedback! I’m happy to say my brother and I were able to figure out a suitable arrangement until I have a bigger home. I’m a FTM and expecting my little girl has been overwhelming. But I love and appreciate the community on here. Here is an updated photo.

Theres no space between my mattresses. Its tight and if theres space it's not done correctly.

i was going to do this very thing guys and i was showing my mom how i was going to do it. she told me that a patient (she works at a pediatricians office) died from rolling over and suffocating between the two mattresses. If you guys can do this while they are newborns and can’t roll yet then i think that’s great. but once they can roll or are showing signs that they are about too then maybe put the crib back together completely 😩😩

Ratchet straps. I don't have a bed frame but they go around my box spring and pull it tight to the side.
I would put your bed by the window instead and put the crib by the wall on the left. Also, a pack n play is smaller than a crib if you’re willing to try that. It’s safe for overnight sleep.

Also your room looks like it has enough room for both, maybe rearrange so baby isn’t next to a window. I made that mistake and he kept waking up from noise and being a bit chilly.

My son slept in a pack n play till we got his crib (after he grew out of his bassinet) and I never had problems! He slept so much better as well. I was nervous the first couple nights so I honestly slept on the floor next to him since he was in his own room, but he did great in it.

I didn’t know the pack and play was suitable for overnight sleep thank you for the tip.
Crib. And it’s totally fine by the window btw. The cosleepers havent been tested at all or enough to guarantee safe sleep. They don’t have a proper category to be tested as.

A lot of them havent. They don’t have an approved category to be tested as. They’ll all advertise as meeting safe sleep standards, but they’ll also say not to be used in bed or unsupervised. Even the dock a tots.
Am
I didn’t know they hadn’t been tested. Thanks for the heads up. 😊
I don’t think there is anything wrong with keeping baby in the crib, only because the crib is literally in your room 😊 so that’s actually pretty convenient. I heard about the co-sleeper that you suggested on amazon caused some baby’s to bleed from their feet. Idk how though 🤷🏻♀️. Keeping your baby in that crib is totally fine because you are right next to him/her.
I used the swaddleme with my son and it changed everything I went from hating BF to not minding it From being annoyed every wake up to groggy but content My son went from constant screaming to sleeping happily beside me We all slept knowing he was safe and also close by.

Love this 💛 bedsharing saved us, too.

Aww! I’m glad it went well for your son. I will look into the swaddleme. Thank you.
Also, I would NOT suggest the pack and play. Multiple doctors told me it’s not good for the baby if the baby is kept in there all night unless you prop is with the proper mattress; which would be pointless I’m your situation because you might as well use the crib that’s in your room. I used the pack and play for the baby to sleep there during the night and I regretted it as well. It’s not comfy for the baby at all and affects baby’s posture also
