Bedside Sleeper Cot A bedside sleeper (also known by the name bassinet) is attached to the side of a bed so that your baby can be close enough to feed at night, while remaining safe in their own sleeping space. Our mums love that they are easy to reach and can also rotate or lower the sides to get closer. Safety The bedside sleeper allows parents to supervise, comfort and feed their babies at night without having to worry about the risks of sharing a bed. This can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The cribs are designed to conform to NHS guidelines for co-sleeping and are endorsed by childcare experts such as director of Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory Dr McKenna. They also offer instant nursing support and help babies feel more secure by keeping them close to their parents, creating healthy attachments that assist with milestones in development. Parents should search for bassinets that are simple to clean, safe to use, and have been endorsed by a reputable organization like JPMA. In 2023, ASTM updated its version of the bedside sleeper's voluntary standard F2906 to respond to newer models that convert the bassinet into a bedside sleeper, by lowering one side rail to an adult bed, allowing some portions of the lower side to be elevated level above the mattress, presenting an increased risk of entrapment. The CPSC direct final rule incorporates the 2023 revision by reference to the mandatory standards in place under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008(CPSIA) for infant or toddler products which have been used for longer than 180 days and is expected to lower the risk of injuries. Remember that the bassinet or bedside sleeper should never be used with blankets, pillows or other bedding. This could create a suffocation risk as many young children aren't able to raise their heads sufficiently to keep them from soft objects. Additionally, a reclining position can cause the head to slide forward blocking their airway. Always place your child on their backs when using a bassinet, a crib or play yard. Use a fitted sheet that meets the federal requirements. Convenience It is important to keep your baby close to you during the night. This can help create a bond between newborns and parents. Bassinets that sleep in bed are securely attached to the side of your bed, allowing you to easily reach your baby for middle-of-the-night diaper changes, feedings and comforting. We searched for models with mesh sides that were transparent enough to allow for visibility, so you could watch your baby without needing to leave the bed. You should make sure that the bassinet is in compliance with the requirements of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) requirements and is certified safe for infants. You should choose a bassinet that has a wide base and a strong attachment system. A mattress that is breathable should be considered. Choose models that have a manual rocking feature. It will be gentle on your baby's skin and will help them sleep. bedside crib and cot have tilting options, which can be helpful for newborns with colic or reflux, but should only be used on the supervision of your doctor or health professional. Some bassinets come with a mattress, while others require you to buy one separately. Be sure to purchase the right mattress to fit in your bedside bassinet, since second-hand mattresses may be too soft and carry a risk of SIDS. You should also purchase a breathable fitted bed sheet and the muslin baby blanket. To make cleaning easier make sure that the fabric lining or foam mattress can be washed in the machine. A storage shelf or basket is a convenient feature to store essentials such as nappies, clothes and muslins. You can also find models with wheels for easy movement around your home. Breastfeeding Support If you decide to breastfeed the baby, a cot with a bedside position can help you to get the most out of your night-time feedings. Attached to your bed it allows you to reach over to feed your baby whenever they wake up. The cot's side can be lowered to create a shallow bassinet for safe side-by-side sleeping. Certain models can tilt to support reflux. The curved sides of the cot ensure that it's easy to see your baby and they won't slide off of the side when you lift them up to feed. Some bedside sleeper cots also include an automatic rocking function which can soothe your baby and help them to fall asleep faster after a meal. A cosy fabric and removable and machine-washable bedding are helpful when it comes to keeping your baby clean. Some models come with gentle rocking or vibration functions which can soothe your baby to sleep. The storage space is another an advantage for breastfeeding moms. It is a good idea for breastfeeding mothers to share a bed with their babies. This also lets them develop an intimate bond while they sleep. Research has revealed that babies who are breastfed and have a shared space to sleep have better outcomes than bottle-feeding infants. It is essential to be aware of the risks and pitfalls of sharing a bed with a newborn and to choose an appropriate mattress for your baby. Some beds have soft surfaces or padding around their edges, which may cause your baby to become trapped. You must also be cautious to ensure that the mattress slide backwards. This could result in an opening in which your child can crawl or roll. If you are concerned about the safety of a bedside sleeper take a look at attending an LLL meeting or speaking with an experienced Sleep Leader to know more about the sleeping habits of breastfeeding mothers and babies. They can explain how to create a safe sleeping environment for your baby and help recognize the risks of SIDS. They can also help you understand how to get the'sweet sleep the nursing mothers get that includes many protection factors that are similar to breastfeeding.
