'Rolling Away' when did this work successfully for you?

I'm currently cosleeping with my 3.5 month old little guy. My husband sleeps in a separate bed to be safe. So far it's going well and we're all getting decent sleep. He's also a contact napper and will NOT go down in the crib. He either naps on me on the couch (I stay awake and binge some show) or I'll take him to the bed and nap with him. I've recently tried rolling away when he's well asleep and a few times I can get away, however it's like his little baby radar goes off and within 10 min he's crying for me to be beside him.

So my question is, for those who have been in a similar situation, was there an age when you could roll away and your baby would stay asleep for a decent amount of time?

I'm thinking/hoping that he's still to young to sleep on his own and need me beside to regulate his sleep...

Ideally I'd like to do it at bed time so that I can put him to sleep early (he nurses to sleep) and roll away before I go to bed with him. I'm not able/prepared to go to sleep at 7/8pm 😭. Right now we're getting away with having him sleep on us from about 8-10pm while we have some wind down tv time on the couch, then I take him to bed for the rest of the night, but realize this probably isn't a long term solution.

Would love to hear anecdotal experience from all you lovely cosleepers 😊
