Bedside Co-Sleeper - What is a bedside crib and cot Co-Sleeper?

A bedside co-sleeper consists of a bassinet welded to the side of your mattress that allows you to be able to reach your baby during the middle of night. This type of cosleeping is been recommended by the NHS and the Lullaby Trust as it allows you to keep your baby close and not risk SIDS.

Peace of Mind

Co-sleeping is a crucial parenting choice. Some parents worry that sleeping with their child increases the risk of SIDS. However studies such as those published by NHS suggest the opposite. But, it's crucial to remember that co-sleeping involves sharing the same sleeping surface, and could increase the risk of SIDS when not executed in a proper manner. Bedside cot co sleepers are designed to provide a secure place to rest between bed sharing and separate sleeping areas that allow parents to reach over their child and easily soothe them, without leaving the comfort of their own bed.

Babies sleep best when they are fed and reassured frequently, but exhausted parents can find it difficult to leave their bed to feed or soothe them. A bedside cot co sleeper allows parents to keep their infant at arm's length and avoid having to leave their comfy bed. The innovative design of a few co sleepers, such as the SnuzPod, also allows the four walls to slide down and transform the cot into a cradle with an extra layer of protection that allows tired parents to keep an eye on their infant while they are in the bed.

It is worth bearing in mind that the chance of SIDS increases if a parent smokes (even with a co-sleeper) and also if alcohol or other drugs are consumed even in small amounts. Co-sleeping with a child is not recommended in the event of a parent with an history of snoring. The NHS suggests that babies sleep on their backs in order to minimize the risk of suffocation as well as accidental rolling. A bedside cot or bassinet is the most secure way to ensure this.

Safety

The NHS recommends that babies be placed in their own cribs instead of having to share your bed. This is due to the higher risk of overheating or suffocation. Children who sleep with their parents are more likely to be surrounded by blankets, pillows or sheets, which can obstruct their breathing and lead to SIDS. This is why a crib that is placed near the bed is an ideal solution. The crib is located close to the parents, preventing overheating or suffocation of the baby. It can be easily accessible to feed the baby bedside co sleeper at night and also for providing comfort.

Parents across the globe were eagerly awaiting the Dutch cosleeping pod when it first became viral in 2004. They wanted to try safe cosleeping. Despite the enthusiasm and excitement doctors aren't yet completely in support of the idea of a sleeping cot that can be fixed to the side of a bed for an adult.

The primary concern is the fact that a parent could roll onto the infant and cause strangulation or suffocation. The risk of this is particularly high if a parent is smoking, drinking alcohol or using drugs while asleep. Falls, overheating and maternal death are also a possibility.

If you decide to choose a bedside mattress, it is important that you select one that meets all safety standards. The mattress must fit snugly without gaps and must not be prone to sliding. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the weight limitations and age-related recommendations for the sleeper.

All new bedside beds must be compliant with a new safety standard that was introduced in November 2020 and replaces previous standards. There are still older models on sale in a few stores however, they are gradually disappearing as manufacturers move to the new safety standards.

If you decide to purchase a used model, make sure it's in good condition. Check that the mechanism that is used to anchor the bed on the mattress of the parent and doesn't leave any gaps. Also, make sure that the mattress fits in the sleeper in a proper way, without bulges or gaps. Sheets should be snugly fitted too, so that the baby can't squiggle around and end up in a pocket, or be in danger of suffocation.

Convenience

Sleep experts such as Lullaby Trust advise against bed-sharing. A bassinet or bedside crib can be a safer choice. They are made to be attached to the sides of parents' bed, allowing baby to be within easy reach for feeding at night and comforting. This allows parents to rest peacefully at the end of the night without having to leave their bed.

Babies who sleep in separate bedrooms are more likely than other children to experience pauses in their breathing (apnoea), and also are at an increased risk of SIDS. According to research that babies sleep better when they are near their parents. Being a co-sleeper means that you can quickly respond to any issue and calm them, which means they are more comfortable.

Selecting the ideal bassinet or bedside crib for your family will depend on a few factors, including living situation and long-term plans. For instance, if you have a partner or household member who might also wish to use your bedside co sleeper cot crib then it might be best to look at convertible options that will grow into standalone cribs or toddler beds as your baby develops.

The bedside crib helps foster bonding between the baby and mother. It is a convenient and safe option for new parents who are tired. Studies have proven that breastfeeding mothers tend to nurse for longer if their baby is close. This creates an increased bond between the two.

A bedside cot could be a great option for new mothers who want to keep their baby close to them. When you purchase a bassinet or co-sleeper, you need to ensure that it is in compliance with Lullaby Trust and safe sleep guidelines. It's also worth assessing what your budget is since there are options at all prices.
