Bedside Co-Sleeper - What is a bedside baby sleeper Co-Sleeper?

A bedside co-sleeper cot is a bassinet that attaches to the bed's side, allowing you to reach for your baby during the night. This kind of co-sleeping is suggested by The Lullaby Trust and NHS as it allows you to keep your baby close without being at risk of SIDS.

Peace of Mind

Co-sleeping is an important parenting choice. Although some parents are concerned that sleeping close to their infant could increase the risk of SIDS, studies like those conducted by NHS suggest that the opposite is true. It is important to remember that co-sleeping is sharing a single sleeping surface, and could increase the risk of SIDS when not carried out correctly. Bedside cot co sleepers have been designed to offer a secure middle ground between bed-sharing and separate sleeping areas which allows parents to hold their child and easily to comfort or nurse them, without leaving the comfort of their bed.

Babies sleep best when they are fed and comforted regularly however exhausted parents might be unable to leave their bed to feed or comfort them. A foldable bedside crib cot co-sleeper allows parents to keep their infant in a safe distance and avoid the need to leave their comfy bed. The innovative design of some co sleepers, such as the SnuzPod also allows the four walls to zip down and transform the co-sleeper into a cradle that has an additional layer of protection, making it easy for parents who are tired to watch their infant while they are in their bed.

It is worth bearing in mind that the chance of SIDS is increased when a parent smokes (even with a co-sleeper) and if any drinks or substances are consumed even in small amounts. Co-sleeping with children is not recommended in the event of a parent with a history of snoring. The NHS suggests that young babies are always put to sleep on their backs to reduce the risk of accidental rolling and death. A bedside cot or bassinet is the best method to ensure this.

Safety

While co-sleeping is commonly practiced in a variety of countries however, the NHS suggests that infants be in their own cots instead of sharing a bed. This is due to the higher chance of suffocation and heat. When a baby is in bed with their parents are more likely covered by pillows, blankets or sheets. This can 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 reached easily to feed the baby at night and also for comforting.

Parents around the world were eagerly anticipating the Dutch cosleeping pod when it first became viral in 2004. They wanted to try safe cosleeping. Despite the excitement and enthusiasm however, doctors are not yet fully supportive of the idea of a sleeping cot that fixes to the side of a bed for an adult.

The main concern is that a parent might fall on an infant, causing strangulation or suffocation. This is particularly true if the parent is sleeping while drinking, smoking or using drugs. The risk of overheating, falling or even death are other risks.

If you choose to purchase a Bedside cot Co sleeper sleeper, it is important that you select one that is in compliance with all safety standards. The mattress must fit snugly without gaps and must not be prone to sagging. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the weight limits and age guidelines for the sleeper.

All new bedside sleepers have to conform to a new safety standard that was announced in November of 2020. It replaces the old standards. Some stores may have older models available however they are slowly disappearing as manufacturers make the switch to the new standards.

If you decide to buy a second-hand model ensure that it is in good working order before purchasing it. Verify that the mechanism that is used to anchor the bed to the mattress of the parent and doesn't leave any gaps. Also, make sure that the mattress fits into the sleeper in a proper way, without gaps or bulges. Sheets should fit snugly too to ensure that the baby is unable to wiggle inside and end up in a pocket or be at risk of being suffocated.

Convenience

Many new parents experience an instinctual desire to be by their child's side at night, but sleep experts such as Lullaby Trust recommend avoiding bed-sharing. A bassinet or bedside crib with wheels crib can be a safer choice. They are designed to be attached to the sides of a parent's bed, keeping baby in reach to feed at night and providing comfort. This means that tired parents do not have to leave their own sleeping areas during the night and can keep an eye on their child while still getting a goodnight's sleep.

Children who sleep in a separate bedroom are more likely to have breathing pauses (apnoea), and are also at higher risk of developing SIDS. According to research, babies sleep better if they are close to their parents. Having your baby in a co-sleeper means that you are able to swiftly respond to any problems and reassure them, so they will be more relaxed.

The ideal bedside bassinet or crib for your family will depend on a variety of aspects, including the living situation and future plans. For instance, if you live with a partner or housemate who may also prefer to use the bedside crib, it could be best to look at convertible options that will grow into standalone cribs or toddler beds as your baby grows older. We recommend contacting us to learn more about this option.

Apart from being a secure and convenient choice for new parents, the main benefit of a bedside crib is that it promotes bonding between baby and mother. Studies have proven that breastfeeding mothers tend to nurse longer when their baby's close. This results in a stronger attachment between the two.

A bedside cot can be a great option for new mothers who want to keep their infant nearby. But, prior to purchasing a bassinet or co-sleeper it is important to make sure that it meets all of the safe sleeping and Lullaby Trust guidelines.
