- how close is baby to you - against your body or a few inches away?
As a bub, they are pretty much right next to me. They spaced themselves out as they got older and wanted more room.. I pretty much slept 'curled around' them. Bring my outside leg up and arm outstretched above them. If you can eventually get comfy that way, it removes a lot of that fear of rolling onto them because you cant roll in that direction, and also your partner cant roll back onto them without rolling onto you and waking you up.

- do you always sleep facing them - if so, what if you want to roll over and face the other way? (I sleep on my side but tend to toss and turn quite a bit)
As a baby, always facing in the position described above. If I *really* have to roll over, its done at feed time so as I am compus mentus when I am doing it. I can usually snooze that feed and wake up and reposition when baby lets go.

- what level is baby's face - level with your face, or closer to your chest. Where is your pillow positioned?
The bottom edge of my pillow is shoved between my shoulder and head so it wont move. Baby is inline with my chest. Means I dont have to move them when they start stirring for a feed.

- what kind of bedding do you have? How do you ensure that it doesn't cover baby's face?
I get really cold, so average bedding. When there is a newborn in the bed, it gets tucked in under the mattress so it wont ride up. I wear a jacket for upper body warmth.

- how do you make sure that baby doesn't roll out of bed?
Mostly, by keeping baby in the middle. But with being so close to bub, I find I wake up when they start moving or fussing.
