Bedside Cosleeper

A bedside cosleeper can be described as a bassinet that connects to the side of your adult bed. It's safe, so long as you follow the CSPC safety guidelines for infant sleep spaces.

These guidelines are similar to crib bedding standards. You can learn more about these guidelines here. The most important factors to consider when selecting the best bedside sleeper are Safety Comfort, Convenience, and Safety.

Safety

In accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants sleep in the same bed with their parents, cosleeping (a method that is sometimes referred to as bed-sharing) has gained popularity with a lot of new and expecting parents. The Academy says that sharing rooms is safer than sleeping with a baby in the same bed as it decreases the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infants, or SIDS. The AAP doesn't recommend bed sharing however, it does recommend that co-sleeping on separate sleeping surfaces is a great way to decrease the risk of SIDS. This is why the introduction of the bedside cosleeper was so important for many families.

A bedside cosleeper is attached to a bed frame designed for adults. It's an equivalent of a crib-style sleeper. The bedside cosleeper enables parents to monitor their baby and allows them the freedom of an adult bed while keeping their baby close to them. The most reliable cosleepers meet strict safety standards and are built with sturdy, high-quality materials. To ensure the safety of your child be sure to look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association stamp of approval. This confirms rigorous testing and quality control.

The safety of a cosleeper is dependent on several aspects. This includes how it's installed and secured to the parent's mattress. If the bedside crib and travel cot sleeper is not connected to the parent's bed in a manner that eliminates the gaps and spaces where the infant can get trapped, it could be an hazard of suffocation. It is crucial that the attachment system of a bedside sleeper be tested to ensure that it can withstand the force that may be applied in use, such as a parent rolling onto and off the sleeper, or 25-pound. horizontal force applied to the attachment system or to the corners of the bedside cot bed cosleeper.

The standard for bedside sleepers incorporates by reference the federal consumer product safety standard for bassinets and cradles (16 CFR part 1218) and includes requirements for performance for bedside cosleeper enclosed openings made of fabric. The standard's mandatory requirements also tackle the issue of neck and head imprisonment by requiring that after the application, release a 50-lb. horizontal force near the attachment systems and corners of the bedside sleeper a gap greater than 1.0 in. is not allowed to be created. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard.

Convenience

Many parents avoid cosleeping because they fear the risk of suffocation, or SIDS or because it's a "Ferberization" which requires children to sleep on their own. However, anthropologists have noticed for a long time that many primates, mammals and people from non-Western cultures sleep often. It could be because infants are comforted by the familiar voice of their mother, and it can also help them learn to self-soothe.

The best bedside sleepers have clever designs that are attached to the sides of any mattress and can swivel so that you can easily reach it for diaper changes or feedings in the middle of the night. Look for one with feet that can be adjusted to retract to accommodate different mattress sizes, and a big storage compartment to store all of your baby's necessities.

Pick a bedside cot used crib that fits the standard crib bedding so that it can be used safely as your child grows. Consider a model that is convertible and can be used as a play yard or a bassinet that is deeper. It can last for many years.

Portability

A bedside sleeper with wheels or a light base is much easier to move than one with a bulky wooden frame or base. The babybay bedside sleeper, HALO bassiNest essencetia, as well as Snoo Smart Sleeper are all movable. They have adjustable feet that retract to accommodate platform mattresses and legs that fold up so that they are in close proximity to the mattress; and 100 mesh sidewalls for ventilation without fabric covering baby's mouth or nose.

The Arm's Reach ClearVue is another top choice that adjusts in 1" increments to fit most adult beds and can also be used as a portable bassinet. It also pivots to give you quick access to the baby so that you can soothe her, feed her, or check on them during the night.
