The bigger question is: why are you and a baby sleeping on the couch and his lazy a$$ is in the bed???
Yes, there are Safeway to cosleep. My LO is 6.5 months and weโve been collecting since very young as he wouldnโt sleep alone.
Look up Safe Sleep 7.

Iโve never done it and I donโt agree with it. But, everyoneโs different. I would just be very careful. Iโm not sure Iโd do the couch rather than the bed, thoughโฆ
Can you open the crib and put it up to your side of the mattress? We have side carโd our crib since my daughter was 6 months old. Sheโs now 2๐ but it was a way for us to safely cosleep
The reason I disagree is because Iโve had my son pass from SIDS , so Iโve never done it , but each to there own please take extra precaution , the thought of it makes me feel sick

I didnโt co sleep with my oldest because I was afraid of the risks but by the time I had my second I found it easier to just sleep with him. I felt I got a lot more rest with my second and slept a lot longer through the night than I did with my first. People tell you not to but co sleeping helps both mom and baby feel safe and comfortable
I napped with my baby on the couch.
Some doctors and people will shame you but every mom is different and every baby is different they are only a baby for a short period of time. Enjoy every second of it.
And if itโs sleeping with them so be it
If you donโt have a bed for your baby you should check with local doctors offices and resources they will get you a pack and play.
Yes why now, you both need to sleep on the bed while the dad sleeps on the couch , safer for both of you on the bed than on the couch.

I started co-sleeping with my Son since he was 4 months old. Now heโs 3 and still sleeping in our bed. Choose wisely 
honestly I wish I had stuck it out with his crib. I was desperate for sleep and thatโs the only reason why I decided to let him sleep in our bed. But man, I sure wish I just stuck with it

Iโm just going to say this
If you go through these comments. You see different answers as you should because every parent is different.
It is your baby your life. You are told the consequences anything can happen in any scenario. Just like putting your baby on a crib and them not waking up. Things just happen.
My advice is do your research, understand and make your OWN decision on what YOU want to do. The choice is ultimately yours.

I never co sleep thereโs always a chance of something tragic happening.
All 3 of my kids were Co sleepers. My youngest slept with us until she was 5 but now sleeps in her own bed and room. Some people think itโs fine some donโt. Itโs just whatever works for you. As long as itโs done safely then enjoy those times because they grow so fast.
I did. My son coslept with me from the time he was about 8 months till he was 8 years oldโฆ I didnโt keep lots of blankets or pillows on my bed and he was plenty big enough to roll over on his own before I started

Itโs blowing my mind how far away America has gotten from co sleeping and how much misinformation there is out there about it. Babies can suffocate anywhere itโs about how safe you make it. There was times I woke up to her choking when she was sick what if she was in her crib and I couldnโt hear her? Either way your going to run into safety concerns. Itโs all about whatโs best for your family. Do your research with sites you trust. Thereโs a lot of info and not one way is the right one.

My daughter is 6yr. My husband and I have co slept from the beginning. She starts in her bed but always ends up coming in through the night. My thought sheโs 6 in another year she wonโt want to sleep with us, cuddle. So while sheโs still wanting to cuddle, sleep with us she can. One day Iโll miss these long nights. Thatโs my forever baby but sheโs only little once. Even if some nights me or my husband leave and sleep in her room. Take what I can while I can! Also like I read above do whatever works for you and your family.

I did for a few months and my 2 year old still sleeps with us sometimes 
I personally wasnโt comfortable with it until my son was opd enough to consciously move away from me if I got to close. Buy Iโve seen and known MANY MANY parents that have done it without any issues

I have been cosleeping with my daughter since her birth, she is 18 months old now, however we sleep in a bed. A couch is much smaller (unless itโs a pull out), so a higher chance of baby falling off. You and baby should be in the bed, dad can sleep on the couch if you donโt have another bed.

I coslept with mine (I tried, I really did, to get her in her own crib but she would literally climb out and crawl in bed with me while I was asleep) until she was about 4 and sheโs 7.5 now and still climbs in sometimes.

I never had a problem with it because it was just me in the bed if I was still with his daddy I donโt think Iโd risk it. When I got with my second we boys dad I then put my then 2 year old into a single bed with a bed guard for the few months we where together xx
Hell no I barely got enough room on the bed between the dogs and the husband

Itโs definitely not safe to sleep with a baby on a couch. Iโm a big proponent of cosleeping, but only when itโs done safely. We removed the drop rail of our sonโs crib and connected the crib flush with my side of our bed. This allowed me to roll over to get him for breastfeeds throughout the night and then return him to his crib directly beside me without having to get out of bed. We always ensured our bedcovers were safely tucked away and I got rid of my pillows so they couldnโt smother him.
Edit: google ways to sidecar a crib and cosleeping safety.

โฆ someoneโs bound to fall off the couch. Cosleeping has always scared me. Babies are meant to be in a crib/bassinet with nothing in it. Put it beside your bed so you can always see/hear them while they sleep. But never with you while youโre sleeping. Too many incidents where the baby is smothered by a sleeping parent or by the blanket or pillow.

No, if you must sleep downstairs put baby in a next to me beside sofa
I slept with the bassinet next to the bed, but I slept with my husband in our bed. Once my child was old enough (2-3 months) he went into his crib in his own room.
I wouldnโt have a baby sleep on a couch. There are co-sleeping devices for safe co-sleeping in a bed. Your child will be rolling around soon and easily could roll off the couch.
Also, be very conscientious about how your sleeping arrangements are affecting your relationship with your husband. Iโve seen other couples experience strain in their marriages after sleeping separately for awhile.
He must take the couch and baby and you the bed.
