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

A bedside co-sleeper cot is a bassinet which attaches to the bed's side and allows you to reach out for your baby in the middle of the night. This type of cosleeping is been recommended by the NHS as well as the Lullaby Trust as it allows you keep your baby close without risking SIDS.

Peace of Mind

Co-sleeping is a great parenting option. Some parents are concerned that sleeping next to their infant increases the risk of SIDS. However studies such as those published by NHS suggest the opposite. Co-sleeping is sharing a bed, which can increase the risk for SIDS. Bedside cot co sleepers have been designed to offer an appropriate middle ground between bed-sharing and separate sleeping surfaces which allows parents to reach over their child and effortlessly soothe them without leaving the security of their own bed.

It is essential to feed and soothe your infant regularly. However, tired parents might have difficulty to get up from their bed to feed their child. The Bedside Cot Co Sleeper co-sleeper gives parents to keep their baby close and not have to leave their comfortable bedding. The unique design of some co sleepers, such as the SnuzPod also permits the four walls to slide down and transform the crib into a cradle, providing an additional layer of protection, making it easy for parents who are tired to watch their newborn while remaining in bed.

It is important to keep in mind that the chance of SIDS increases if parents smoke (even with a co-sleeper) and also if alcohol or drugs are consumed even in small quantities. Co-sleeping with children is not recommended when the parent has a history of sleeping through the night. The NHS recommends ensuring that babies are placed to sleep on their backs in order to minimize the chance of rolling and suffocation. A bassinet or bedside cot is the safest way to ensure this.

Safety

The NHS recommends that babies be placed in their own cribs rather than share your bed. This is because of the higher risk of suffocation or overheating. Babies who sleep with their parents are more likely to be covered by blankets, pillows or sheets. This can lead to SIDS. A crib for bed is a great solution. The crib is located close to the parents, preventing suffocation or overheating of the baby. It can be easily reached to feed the baby at night and also for soothing.

Parents from all over the world were eagerly anticipating the Dutch cosleeping pod when it first went viral in 2004. They wanted to try safe cosleeping. Despite the enthusiasm and excitement doctors aren't yet completely in support of the idea of a sleeping cot that fixes to the side of an adult bed.

The most significant concern is the fact that a parent can roll over the infant, causing suffocation or strangulation. This is particularly true in the case of a parent who is asleep while drinking, smoking or using a drug. Overheating, falling and maternal death are additional risks.

If you choose to opt for a large bedside cot sleeper, it is crucial to select a model that meets the highest standards of safety. The mattress should be snugly fitted without gaps and must not be prone to sliding. You should also familiarise yourself with the weight limits and age guidelines for sleepers.

All new bedside beds will be required to conform to the new safety standard which was launched in November 2020. It replaces the previous standards. Some stores might still have older models available, but they are gradually disappearing as manufacturers switch to the new standards.

If you decide to purchase a used model, check that it's in good shape. Check that the mechanism used to secure the bed to the mattress of the parent and doesn't leave any gaps. Also, ensure that the mattress fits in the sleeper with no gaps or bulges. Sheets should be snugly fitted too to ensure that the baby can't squiggle around and get stuck in a pocket, or be at risk of suffocation.

Convenience

Sleep experts such as Lullaby Trust advise against bed-sharing. A bassinet or bedside crib can be a safer choice. These cribs are made to be attached directly to the parent's bed to allow the baby to be easily accessible for feeding and comforting at night. Parents can rest comfortably at night without leaving their bed.

Babies sleeping in separate rooms are more likely to suffer breathing pauses (apnoea) and are at greater risk of SIDS. Research has proven that babies sleep better when they're close proximity to their parents. You can also quickly respond to any issue or concern your baby, making them more comfortable.

The best bedside bassinet or crib for your family depends on a variety of factors, such as the existing situation and plans for the future. For instance, if live with a partner or housemate who may also want to use the bedside crib then it might be best to look at convertible options that will grow into separate cribs or toddler beds as your baby grows up. Many of our range include this option, and we suggest contacting us for more information.

In addition to being a safe and convenient option for tired new parents, the main advantage of the bedside crib and cot crib is that it encourages bonding between baby and mother. Studies have shown that mothers who breastfeed tend to breastfeed more frequently when their baby is close and this results in an even stronger and more secure bond between the two.

This is the reason why a bedside cot has become so popular, and a good option for any new mom who would like to keep their baby close by. When buying a bassinet, or co-sleeper, it is essential to make sure that it is in compliance with Lullaby Trust and safe sleep guidelines. You should also be aware of your budget, since there are numerous options to choose from.
