Cosleeping away from home
I forgot to ask this one earlier. We will be going overseas in April to visit our families back home and I cosleep with my daughter in the bed with me. We don't do any kind of arrangement where she sleeps away from me at all. I have a bed rail at home, but we cannot take it with us when we travel and it's too expensive to buy one when we get to our destination just for a short visit with family. What do those of you do who have to take your cosleeping kids with you on vacation? At a couple of the stops, I plan to just move the mattress to the floor and sleep on it with her, but at some point, we will be traveling out into the country to stay with my grandmother. Her house often gets creepy-crawlies like scorpions and snakes in it. I'm not that worried about snakes (she very rarely gets one in the house) but they see scorpions on the floor every few nights. I can't sleep with the baby on the floor in that house.
Any tips or tricks I can use? I'll be alone with her, so I can't put her between me and my husband. I thought of moving the bed against the wall. Is that safe once the baby is a year old? She will be about 13 months old then. It seems to me like it would be okay if the bed is really flush against the wall and she can't fall into the gap.
