Choosing Between a Baby Bedside Co Sleeper and a Bassinet

New parents have many options when it comes down to sleeping arrangements for their newborn. Some consider co-sleeping (which the AAP cautions against due suffocation risks) and others prefer the comfort of having their child within reach for diaper changes and feedings.

A baby bedside co sleeper is an alternative to a crib or a bassinet that is attached to the side of the parent's bed for safe, convenient access. The MFM home testers were impressed by the stylish and functional look of this option.

Safety

A bedside co-sleeper is also referred to as a sidecar bassinet, is a safe option for sleep for babies that lets newborns sleep next to their parents without placing them at risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It's a component of rooming-in, the practice used in hospitals that helps newborns bond with their dad or mom as they learn to self-soothe to sleep. When choosing a solution for sleep parents must weigh the advantages and disadvantages of bedside co-sleepers and regular bassinets.

The most important thing to consider when choosing a baby bedside co sleeper is safety. Look for models with rigid frames with breathable materials, and no loose parts that could create an choking risk. A mattress that is breathable is vital and you should look for models that can be machine washed for effortless cleaning. Make sure that the sleeping surface is smooth and flat, with no blankets or pillows. This will decrease the chance of suffocation.

The unit's accessibility from the bed of the parents is a further security consideration. This allows for easier nighttime feedings, and a better supervision of the baby while they sleep. In contrast, some regular bassinets are situated far enough from the parent's bed that they might require a step to access the sleeping area.

Many parents also take into account the proximity of the bassinet to their bed when deciding between a co-sleeper and bassinet. Some parents like the close physical bond co-sleeping provides, while others are concerned about the possibility of suffocation or roll-off risks associated with sharing a bed. Some of the top-rated bedside crib that turns into cot sleepers like the babybay bedside co-sleeper and the Snoo smart sleeper, are designed to eliminate the concerns by using the wood-slat design, which resembles the cribs where infants were born and the swaddle sack, which prevents them from moving about in their sleep.

If you want to co-sleep but aren't sure about the risks, you might want to consider an option like the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Cosleeper. This bassinet-style co sleeper creates a safer co-sleeping environment by connecting directly to the side of your bed with a narrow barrier that allows you to view and reach your baby.

Comfort

Whatever sleeper you select it's crucial to ensure that your baby sleeps comfortably. This means making sure that the crib is firm and flat, with no gaps between the mattress and the baby's bed. Some co-sleepers use soft surfaces and fluffy padding, which can put your child at risk of SIDS. We suggest using a mattress protector to avoid any tension.

Another aspect to consider is the breathability. Certain models we reviewed have mesh sides with breathable mesh that lets your baby breathe while remaining secure. Other models, like the Baby Delight and HALO BassiNest Essentia, offer great airflow.

If your bedside sleeper has tilting features, this can be beneficial for babies suffering from digestive issues or reflux. Some of the best bedside cots choices we could find include the HALO BassiNest Swivel Sleeper 3.0 have an incline that is slight, which could be beneficial for your baby while reducing the risk of suffocation or falling.

While some parents may prefer a traditional bassinet, many parents prefer the bedside cosleeper sleeper. These types of beds are attached directly to the mattress of the parent, making it easy to reach your baby for feedings or comforting in the middle of night. Bedside sleepers may also be employed as a part of a safe sleep-sharing practice called rooming-in. This reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome and encourages bonding between parents and babies.

It's ultimately up to the family to decide what's right for their family. We hope that this guide was helpful when you are searching for the perfect bedside co sleeper for your baby. To avoid any possible risks, whether you opt for an infant bassinet or a bedside co-sleeper make sure to adhere to the AAP's safe sleeping guidelines. Good luck!

Design

A baby bedside sleeper, also called a sidecar co-sleeper or bassinet for bedside--is an alternative that is safe to cribs that are traditional and allows parents to sleep with their infant. It is affixed to the opposite side of the parent's bed and creates a mattress extension so that babies can be easily reached for comforting and feeding at night. This type of room sharing reduces the risk of SIDS and other infant hazards but can also make it easier to keep the baby within reach.

There are a variety of co-sleepers on the market. It's important to pick one that suits your family's needs. Some have more features than others, and others are more budget-friendly. Safety is always the top priority, regardless of the product you decide to purchase. Find reviews, certifications and safety concerns for each model you are considering.

The top choices for baby co-sleepers at bedtime include the Snoo Smart Sleeper, Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer and HALO BassiNest Essentia. The mesh is breathable and has minimal expanses of solid fabric on these models ensure that the sleeping surface is comfortable for the baby without gaps or compression that could prevent airflow. The babybay bedside crib is another fantastic alternative, with a design that looks similar to a crib of the past and some height adjustability for the "just right" fit.

Newborns feel more secure in smaller spaces, and the womb-like nature of co-sleepers or bassinets can aid them in sleeping better and build a strong bond with their parents. Additionally, having a bedside sleeping device gives convenience that parents often require to breastfeed or bottle feed their babies at night without leaving their bed. The models listed above all have a sleek and stylish look that works well with any style of bedroom. They're also quick and easy to set up and clean which makes them a great choice for parents who require a simple method of sleeping with their newborn.

Value

A bedside sleeper is an excellent way to keep your baby close throughout the night. It can help you establish an even closer relationship with your child and increase their overall development. It helps you get up to feed your child and change diapers which can help you get more sleep as well.

Look for a co-sleeper that can be folded easily and serves a variety of purposes. There are a few options that can be converted into a play yard or deeper bassinets, for instance. You should also consider the quality of the sleep surface, as many models use polyurethane foam. Look for eco-health claims, such as low VOC and hypoallergenic, or GreenGuard or Oeko-Tex certification.

It is also possible to consider your long-term plans because your baby is likely to move to crib within a few months. If this is the case, a co-sleeper bassinet could be the best option, as it allows you to remain close to your infant and helps ease the transition from sleep in your bed to the nursery. This type of arrangement, also known as rooming-in is believed to improve the baby's sensory perception and sleeping habits.
