Co-sleeping safely - what setup do you use?

Not what I planned but baby refuses to sleep alone at 8 weeks. Want to make it as safe as possible. Snuz pod? Bedside crib? Just in the bed?

Snuz Pod 4 with side down was perfect. Felt like cosleeping but baby in own space.

Look up the Safe Sleep Seven if you're going to bedshare. Firm mattress, no pillows near baby, sober, BF if poss, full term healthy baby, baby on back, lightweight blanket.

Maxi-Cosi Iora - similar to Snuz, cheaper.

Bedshared for 9 months following Safe Sleep Seven and don't regret a thing. Sleep was so much better.

Look at Dr James McKenna's research if you want evidence-based co-sleeping info.
