Bedside Cosleeper A bedside cosleeper is a bassinet that is attached to the side of your adult bed. As long as you adhere to the CSPC guidelines for infant sleeping spaces It's safe. bedside cots for newborns are similar to the crib bedding standards. You can learn more about these guidelines here. The most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the best bedside sleeper are Safety Comfort, Convenience, and Safety. Safety Many new parents and expecting mothers have adopted cosleeping, also known as bed-sharing, in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that infants be in the same room as their parents. The Academy says that sharing rooms is safer than sleeping with babies in the same bed because it reduces instances of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy or SIDS. The AAP does not advocate bed-sharing however it does recommend that co-sleeping on separate sleeping surfaces is a great way to lower the risk of SIDS. The development of the bedside crib was important for a lot of families. A bedside cosleeper is a similar to a crib sleeper that is attached to an adult bed frame. The bedside cosleeper lets parents keep an eye on the baby, and also gives them the freedom to sleep in their own bed. The top cosleepers are constructed with high-quality materials and adhere to stringent safety standards. To ensure the safety of your child be sure to look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association stamp of approval. This proves that the product has been tested thoroughly and quality control. The safety of a cosleeper is dependent on several aspects. It is dependent on how it's installed and secured to the parent's mattress. If the bedside cosleeper isn't connected to the parent's bed in a way that blocks the gaps and openings where the infant can get trapped, it could pose a suffocation hazard. It is important that the attachment system of a bedside crib be tested to verify it can withstand the forces that could be imposed during the course of use, for example, parents rolling onto and off the sleeper, or a 25-lb. horizontal force applied to the attachment system or corners of the bedside cosleeper. The standard that is voluntary for bedside beds incorporates by reference the federal consumer product safety standard for bassinets and cradles (16 CFR part 1218) that includes requirements for performance for fabric-sided enclosed openings. The standard's requirements for mandatory compliance tackle the issue of head and neck entrapment by requiring that, after application, and release a 50-lb. horizontal force near the attachment system and the corners of the bedside sleeper, a gap larger than 1.0 in. It is not permitted to create a gap that is greater than 1.0 in. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard. Convenience While many parents have avoided cosleeping for fear of suffocation, SIDS or the "Ferberization" process that makes children to sleep alone Anthropologists have long observed that mammals and primates and people who live in non-Western societies, have regularly coslept. It could be because infants are calmed by the familiar voice of their mother and it may also help them learn to self-soothe. The best bedside sleepers come with an innovative design that is attached to the side of any bed and swivels for easy access for feedings during the night or diaper changes. Choose one with feet that can be adjusted to retract to accommodate different mattress sizes, and a big storage space for all of your baby's necessities. Pick a bedside crib that fits the standard crib bedding so that it can be used in a safe manner as your child grows. Look for a model that is convertible and can be used as a play yard or a more substantial bassinet. It will last for many years. Portability A bedside cosleeper with wheels or a light base is more portable than one with a heavy wooden frame or base. The babybay bedside sleeper HALO bassiNest essencetia, and Snoo Smart Sleeper are all movable. They come with feet that can be adjusted that retract to fit platforms and legs that fold inward to allow maximum proximity to the mattress; 100 mesh sidewalls that allow ventilation without covering the baby's nose or mouth. The Arm's Reach ClearVue is a great choice. It adjusts in 1" increments and can be used as a bassinet or portable bed. It also pivots to give you quick access to the baby so that you can help her relax, nurse her, or check on the baby during the night.
