When you think of co-sleeping accessories, you probably think, "What? Like a pillow?" and for the most part, you're right. You really don't need to get extra stuff to co-sleep -- all you really need for a family bed is a family, and a bed.
For some new parents, however, or those thinking about co-sleeping, these accessories may come in handy.
Co-sleeping usually equals nighttime breastfeeding, so while the Bela Baby Lighted Nursing Pillow, $29, might seem a bit silly, it looks quite helpful on those occasions when you just need a bit of light.
If you're afraid your child might roll off the bed at night, these two products will put your mind at ease.
The Humanity Family Bed Top Co-Sleeping Pillow, $189, is a giant bolster pillow that rests at the edge of the bed to prevent children falling off.
At $44, the Snug Tuck pillow is a more affordable take on the Humanity pillow and can be ordered in a variety of fabrics.
Good night and happy sleeping!

If you're worried about rolling over on a newborn (not an unrealistic concern), you could check out a co-sleeping bassinet. We called ours a "sidecar." http://www.amazon.com/Arms-Reach-Concepts-CoSleeper-Bassinet/dp/B000HKY1GM/ref=pd_bbs_2/002-8467364-8798439?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1179418912&sr=8-2

i've recently been exploring the idea of co-sleeping and have been trying to research the other options of it (co-sleeping in the room vs. in the bed, and if i need something for the baby to take naps in, etc.) i'm kinda liking the Nursting Nest Pillow, seems like it might work well for us, especially since i'm starting to realize that our mattress may not be the firmest thing for a baby to sleep on.
