Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

Twins who are just born sleep best close to each other It's vital to follow safe sleeping recommendations. Choosing the right crib arrangement can aid in the development of a consistent sleep routine.

A double bassinet that has the option of dividing it is a great option for twins. These beds can be used as portable beds to allow parents to keep their children close during feedings in the middle of the night and diaper changes. They also work well for infants that may outgrow their bassinets before baby 2.

Space-Saving

Twins can sleep together in a bedside crib, so long as you follow the safe guidelines for sleeping (that's to say they should be laid on their backs, with the tops of their heads touching each other and their feet placed at opposite sides of the cot). They can also share a bed in a Moses basket or a crib once they're large enough.

This Delta double bassinet has a mesh partition that allows babies to be separated but still close. It comes with a handy storage pocket to keep snacks and wipes in the vicinity and also snacks. Additionally, it folds flat and makes it easy to manoeuvre around the house or take on trips.

This EZ Fold Twin Bassinet, available at Walmart is swivelling to allow you to bring fussy twins nearer to you to feed them and soothe them. The sides can be lowered and raised to make it easier to access them and they are secured for safety. It's a bit heavier and longer than some other options, but it's great for second floors or grandparent homes and comes with its own travel bag. It's also much cheaper than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

Parents of twins might be enticed to sleep the babies together in one crib or bassinet however, this is not recommended. Instead, the group Rednose suggests that twins are given their own safe sleeping space (crib or bassinet, or a portable crib) in the parents' or caregiver's room until they are 12 months old in order to reduce the chance of SIDS. This arrangement is also referred to as co-bedding and it has been found that twins who are used to this type of sleeping environment generally have a more coordinated sleep pattern than twins who sleep separately.

One of the easiest ways to make this work is by using twin bedside cots, like the Teknum FELLOW 2, that comes with two separate bedding sets, so that every baby can have a personal and comfortable space. This bedside cot can also easily be moved from room to another as required, and provides a convenient way to monitor the baby without having to wake them up by re-entering their sleeping space or disrupting their sleep patterns.

Double bassinets are an alternative. They allow infants to sleep side-by-side and are perfect for diaper changes or feedings during the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, comes with an air-tight mesh divider and adjustable height so that every baby is visible and reachable at all times, while the sides of the sleeper are raised and lower to allow easy access. If you prefer a more affordable alternative, the Walmart-exclusive Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet is similar, featuring two sleeping zones separated by a mesh panel that allows babies to see each other and the entire bed is able to rotate 360 degrees, giving an easy access to every infant.

For temporary situations, such as a family visit or hospital stay Many parents have had success in co-bedding twins in the large moses basket or small bassinette with divider. However this should be done only under the supervision of a healthcare provider to ensure that the babies are placed properly in a cot, with their feet at the bottom of the cot, and all bedding securely tucked in, to prevent them from suffocating.

Safety

The most important safety aspect for twins is that each baby have their own sleeping space. This prevents every baby from being smothered, choked, or otherwise choking by the other. It also helps prevent cot death, which is more common in single babies than in multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that tritons, twins, and higher-ordered multis have their own sleeping area. The best way to do this is with a separate bassinet or twin bedside baby sleeper cot that can be positioned close to your bed while you're feeding or soothing one of your babies throughout the night.

Although the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued guidelines to lower the risk of SIDS by encouraging room sharing and discouraging cobedding, many families with twins and multiples have found it difficult to follow these guidelines (1). A previous study documented that the majority of families of twins who were cobedded in the first 3 months at home used unsafe sleep practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins may not adhere to current SIDS risk reduction recommendations due to a desire to prolong their own sleep and the inability to accommodate multiple cribs at home. In addition, the socioeconomic status of a family could influence their choices regarding the arrangement of their sleep.

If twins are positioned side-by-side in a small crib or Moses basket, they could easily be entangled by their bedding and could choke on each other. If you choose to put your twins in the same cot ensure that they are placed in a position where their feet are next to their heads, and that their bedding is placed in the cots securely. This will reduce the chance of them choking on each other.

One of the safer and more convenient options for twins to be able to sleep independently is a bedside co sleeper cot bassinet like the Halo Bassinest Twin. This double bassinet has an enclosed mesh wall that can separate twins and provide them with their own flat, secure sleeping surface. It can be turned 360 degrees, which means you can bring your child closer to you without having to leave your bed. The side walls automatically lower and then return with each movement. It is also easy to clean and can be tucked away into a standard twin-sized bed frame. Check out the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet at Walmart. It has similar features to the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

It's a huge change to welcome twins or multiples into the world. Not only that, they require a great deal of preparation and thought regarding their sleeping arrangements and how they'll get a good sleep. Parents often ask themselves what they can do to make their children feel at ease in the early years of their lives.

When twins are still young, they can be able to share a cot. Co-bedding is a method of comforting newborns by bringing them back to their mother's womb. The most important thing is to ensure that the beds are large enough for the babies to be comfortable without touching or bouncing around. It is also important to keep in mind that the baby who waks first needs to be fed. It is beneficial to coordinate feeding times at night to ensure that you get one baby up before the other.

However, it is important to keep in mind that twins are very different and they might have their own sleep routines. You may find that one of them wakes more frequently than the other or that they prefer to be close to you. In this instance, it might be best for the twins to have their own crib or bassinet in their room.

Look for twin bedside cot wooden cots that have breathable mesh dividers for separate sleeping areas. This is particularly important for babies prone to overheating, or families with c-section moms. A reversible base as well as wheels that are easy to move are also beneficial features. The Arm's Reach cot is a good choice for these purposes, as it offers a large bedside cot sleeping area and is designed with mothers who have c-sections in mind. Other options include the Graco Pack 'n Play and the Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel, but they offer smaller sleeping areas than the Arm's Reach cot.

Even if they're very close, it's not recommended to let twins share the bed with an adult. This could increase the risk of SIDS and cause strangulation or suffocation. Instead, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins sleep in their own safe sleeping spaces, such as cribs or bassinets, in their parents' rooms for the first six months.
