Bedside Baby Beds Baby bedside cribs let parents keep their newborn close at night without compromising safety. They are designed for newborns and can be used until 4 to 6 months. The Halo Bassinest is a swivel-over-the parent's bed that has an end that can be pushed down so that parents can pick up their newborn during feeding times at night. The base will not fit under beds lower than 4.5 inches high. Safety features A bedside crib allows parents to watch, comfort and feed their infants at night without having to leave their bed. This sleeping arrangement is perfect for new mothers recovering from birth or for those with limited mobility. It could also help parents sleep better at night. It is crucial to think about the safety features when buying an infant crib. This kind of sleeping surface is a safety risk because it doesn't provide a complete barrier to the sleeping area of the parent as well as the infant's sleeping space. This could result in gaps that could pose the risk of suffocation for infants. Additionally, sharing the bed with an infant can increase the body heat of the parents and raises the chance of overheating which can lead to SIDS. While some manufacturers claim bedside co-sleepers have a higher safety rating than traditional cribs, these products do not meet the safety standards of the CPSC. These products can have slats which allow babies' legs or heads to be trapped. The attachment mechanisms could also be unstable, leading to separation. Many of these surfaces also contain loose bedding, which can lead to the risk of suffocation. Babies lack the strength or coordination to remove themselves from the tangles of soft bedding and the gaps between the mattress and the frame can cause a danger of suffocation. funny post of these items have a hard bottom that could injure a baby should they fall upon it. One commenter suggested that CPSC add pictograms to its warnings on these products, which would decrease the chance of caregivers not knowing the most important elements. Sleepers at the bedside need an easy transition system to prevent the baby from sliding off the mattress of their parents. Bedding A bedside crib (also known as a bassinet or co-sleeper) allows infants to sleep in their parents' beds, but still having their own space. This form of safe co-sleeping reduces the risks of entrapment, suffocation, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by keeping infants close to their parents and within arms' reach for feedings during the night or for comforting. Baby bedding for a sleeper at night could include crib sheets blankets, bumpers, and toys. Make sure that any bedding you choose to use is suitable for the bedside sleeper to avoid pockets or bulges that could obstruct the baby's breathing. Also, make sure that the mattress you buy for your bedside sleeper is firm and fits snugly without gaps around the edges. When choosing a bedding set, search for a set that is easy to wash and dry so that you can keep it clean when your infant has accidents or spits at night. You may also want to think about a travel bag for your bedside sleeper, so that you can easily carry it around when you travel with your family or visit grandparents at their homes. If your child has outgrown their bedside sleeper, you can move them to a separate toddler or a crib. When transitioning to a crib, take it away from the bed of your parents over the course of a few weeks or even months to let your child become comfortable sleeping in his own space but still feel a sense of connection to them. Also, be sure to choose a crib that is able to fold up easily for storage and transport. Some models can be converted into a play yard, or a more substantial bassinet. This makes them a great choice for new parents who love to travel. Tilt function A bedside sleeper is a bassinet that is attached to the side of a bed for adults and has one side higher than the other and allows parents to reach over to tend their baby at night. It could also come with an adjustable tilt feature that can help alleviate reflux in babies. Some parents report that this feature can help their babies sleep better. However it is important to remember that a sloped or elevated sleeping surface can encourage your child to sleep in a risky chin-to-chest posture. This could lead to death and should be avoided. A good mattress is crucial in deciding on the crib for your child's bed. It should be firm and flat, as well as ventilated. The size should be in line with the dimensions of the crib and be able to fit within the frame. A second-hand mattress may increase the risk of SIDS, so it is recommended to purchase an entirely new crib mattress. Some retailers offer mattresses designed for specific bed frames, so it is best to choose these if possible. Some bedside cribs are designed to tuck under your bed to conserve space and keep your baby close, like the Halo BassiNest. Some beds aren't tall enough to accommodate this kind of crib. Additionally, the BassiNest's splayed legs make it difficult to slide underneath certain beds. It may be difficult to tuck the BassiNest under a divan, which could cause it to move or rock out of line with your mattress. Other types of bedside cribs like the Ingenuity Dream and Grow Bedside Bassinet can be placed next to your mattress, but they aren't capable of tilting. CHOICE recommends that parents use these beds if they have a firm, breathable bed. The tilt of a bassinet or bedside crib could cause your child to slide into a risky position and increase the chance of suffocation. Position of foot-to-foot A bedside crib, also called co-sleeper or bassinet is a crib that is attached to a side of a bed for adults. It allows parents to reach their child with ease at night. The beds are typically larger than traditional bassinets or cots. Some have a lower edge, which creates an obstacle between the sleeping spaces. These beds are constructed from sturdy materials and most have wheels to make them easier to move around the home. Some bedside cribs have a tilt function, which can help infants with digestive issues such as colic or reflux. But, it's crucial to utilize this feature with extreme care and at a slight angle to avoid suffocation. Talk to your doctor or health professional if you are unsure whether to use the feature. The mattress is another important safety factor to consider when selecting a crib to be your child's bedside. The mattress should be smooth, firm and breathable, to lower the risk of SIDS. A mattress that is too firm can result in obstruction of the airway in newborns, which can be dangerous. A mattress that is breathable can aid your baby in staying cool throughout the night, which can lower the risk of overheating. It is recommended to place your baby in a safe sleeping space such as crib, cot or Moses basket. It may seem appealing to share a bed with your baby however this could result in SIDS. You should wait until your baby is able to sleep independently before you attempt to sleep together. If you have to, make sure that your bedroom is smoke-free to protect your child from secondhand smoke. If you're living on a low income, you might be eligible for help with a bassinet or crib from Plunket. Second-hand cribs Parents who want to save money may be attracted by a secondhand bassinet, crib, or cradle that they acquire from a relative or friend. Cribs are among the nursery items that could lead to death, especially in older cribs that have damaged or missing parts, or have larger spaces between the slats. Older mattresses may also develop dips or other issues that can be dangerous for your child. If your crib is not old enough to meet current safety standards it could be contaminated by lead paint or other harmful chemicals. If you are considering a used crib, always look to see whether it's been recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It's also an excellent idea to determine whether the crib has been painted with water-based paint, which is much safer for infants than phthalic or oil paint. Additionally, make sure the mattress is sturdy and snugly fits. Mattresses with soft edges can cause babies to fall out and also pose a suffocation risk. Pay particular attention to second-hand bassinets and cradles, and play yards. All of them should be JPMA-certified and free of sharp edges that could scratch or poke your baby. Avoid adding toys, pillows or blankets with these products. They can become entrapment hazard. Infants have been killed in cribs that were tampered with or altered and most of the incidents occurred when parents and caregivers attempted to make the cribs more functional or attractive by incorporating items or altering them in a way. Since 1973 crib makers and the CPSC worked together to establish standard requirements for safer cribs for infants. These standards addressed things like side heights, spacing between slats, mattress fits, corner posts, and cutouts on end panels. In the past few years, the number of crib-related deaths has decreased from 150-200 per year to 50.
