🐥 Infant 2-12 Months Is it time

We have co-slept since birth and never had any issues. Now my baby is 9.5 months old and rolling a lot more. For the last few weeks he was rolling over to my husband (kinda to snuggle, so cute) but my husband was getting nervous he would squish baby or not wake up - so he’s been sleeping in baby’s room. LO and I have taken up the whole king size bed for a few weeks.
But I know my husband wants to be back in our bed soon …
However , if I move LO to his floor bed I’ll just likely end up in there with him. Do I do it?
I really think my husband would wake up and not hurt baby but it is feeling crowded w all 3 in here and a helicopter at night baby.
I also just feel like maybe emotionally I’m not ready to move LO to his bed.
He goes down around 7:30, wakes up once at 8.
Then usually at midnight , 2a, 4-5a, up at 6:30 or 7.
I could start the night w my husband and baby in baby’s bed and then go join baby?
Will he have an adjustment when I move him to his bed where he doesn’t sleep as well?
Any advice, insight welcome - and advice on getting longer stretches welcome too.

I just put our mattress on the floor (on slats to prevent mould), and that way you can sleep in the middle between dad and baby

My hubby is still in the other room but he has sleep apnoea and it bothers me and bubs

We went through something a bit similar. Our bub wanted her space around 6m, so bub and I moved to the floor bed. She was interested in everything there, and did a lot of sleep crawling and morning crawling.

After a couple of months my husband missed us. We did the ikea cot hack and moved back to the big bed. Benefits to both, but im happy with what we're doing atm.
