Bedside Cosleeper

A bedside cosleeper can be described as a bassinet that is attached to the side of your adult bed. It's safe as long as you comply with the CSPC safety guidelines for infant sleep spaces.

These guidelines are similar to the crib bedding standards. You can read more about these guidelines here. The most important features to take into consideration when selecting the best bedside crib and cot sleeper are Safety, Comfort, and Convenience.

Safety

In accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants sleep in the same room as their parents, cosleeping (a practice that is also known as bed-sharing) is becoming popular among many expecting and new parents. The Academy states that room-sharing is more secure than sleeping with babies in the same bed as it lowers the chance of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infants or SIDS. The AAP does not advocate bed-sharing however it does suggest that co-sleeping on separate sleeping surfaces is a great way to decrease the risk of SIDS. The development of the bedside crib was important for a lot of families.

A bedside sleeper is attached to a bed frame for adults. It is a crib like sleeper. The bedside cosleeper allows parents to monitor their little one, and it gives parents the freedom of a bed while keeping their baby close to them. The best cosleepers have strict safety standards and are made with durable, high-quality components. Be sure to look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) stamp of approval, which demonstrates rigorous testing of the product and quality control, to ensure your child's safety cosleeping experience.

The safety of a crib is dependent on several aspects. It is dependent on how it's set up and secured onto the mattress of the parent. It is important that the bedside sleeper be connected to the mattress of the parent in a manner that prevents gaps and spaces, where an infant could become trapped. This could pose an entrapment risk. It is important that the attachment system of a bedside sleeper be examined to determine if it can withstand the forces that could be imposed during use, such as a parent rolling onto and off of the sleeper or a 25-lb. The attachment system, or the corners on the bedside cosleeper must be subjected to a horizontal force.

The standard for 4-in-1 bedside crib cribs is based on to the federal consumer safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218) which includes the requirements for performance for closed fabric openings. The standard's mandatory requirements also tackle the issue of neck and head traps by requiring after the application and release 50 lbs. horizontal force near the attachment systems and corners of the bedside sleeper gaps that is greater than 1.0 in. It is not allowed to create a gap greater than 1.0 in. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard.

Convenience

Many parents avoid cosleeping because they are afraid of the risk of suffocation, or SIDS, or because it's an act of "Ferberization" that forces children to be in a room by themselves. Anthropologists have noticed for a long time that many primates, mammals and people from other cultures sleep frequently. This may be because infants are soothed by the familiar voice of their mother, and it may also help them practice self-soothing.

The best bedside sleepers feature a smart design that attaches to the sides of any bed and pivots to allow ease of access to feedings in the middle of the night or diaper changes. Look for one with feet that are adjustable and retract to accommodate different mattress heights and a large storage space for all of the necessities for your baby.

Select a bedside sleeper that can fit in with standard crib bedding to be used in a safe manner as your child grows. Consider 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 lightweight base is much easier to move than one that has a heavy wooden frame or base. The Babybay Bedside Sleeper, HALO BassiNest Essentia and Snoo Smart Sleeper all come with great portability features: adjustable feet that retract to accommodate platforms and the legs fold inward for maximum closeness to the mattress and a 100% mesh sidewalls that allow for air circulation without material covering baby's mouth or nose.

The Arm's Reach ClearVue is an excellent choice. It adjusts in 1" increments and can be used as a bassinet or portable bed. It also pivots to allow for easy access to your baby to help her relax, nurse her or check on the baby during the night.
