These beds can be used as portable beds to allow parents to keep their infants close for feedings in the middle of the night and diaper changes. These beds are also ideal for babies who might outgrow their baby bassinets before they reach the age of toddlerhood.

Space-Saving

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

It's also less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

Many parents of twins might be enticed to place their babies in one crib or bassinet but this is not generally recommended. Instead, the group Rednose suggests that twins are provided with their own private sleeping space (crib or bassinet or portable crib) in the room of the parent or caregiver until they turn 12 months old to help reduce the risk of SIDS. This arrangement is also known as co-bedding, and it has been proven that twins who are used to this type of sleeping environment generally have a more coordinated sleeping pattern than twins who sleep separately.

One of the most convenient ways to make this work is to use a twin rocking bedside crib cot, like the Teknum FELLOW 2, that comes with two separate bedding sets to ensure that each baby has an individual and comfortable space. The bedside cot bed cot can also be easily moved from one room to another as needed. It is an easy and convenient way to check on your children without disrupting their sleep or awakening them.

Double bassinets are a different option. They permit infants to be side-by-side, and they're perfect for feedings or diaper changes during the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin has a mesh panel that is breathable and adjustable in height to allow each baby to be seen and reachable at all times. The sides of the sleeper can adjust to lower and raise for quick access. Walmart's Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet, which is a cheaper alternative, comes with two sleep zones separated by a mesh panel which allows babies to see each the other. The sleeper also rotates around 360 degrees, allowing an easy access for infants.

Many parents have found that co-bedding twins with moses baskets or a small bassinette could be a good option for temporary situations such as a hospital stay or a family visit. However, this should be done only under the supervision of a medical professional to ensure that babies are properly placed and with their feet towards the floor of the cot and all bedding securely tucked in, to avoid them from becoming suffocating.

Safety

When it comes to twins sleeping together, the most crucial security factor is that each infant has his or her own space to sleep in. This will prevent each baby from being smothered, choked or otherwise being choked by the other. It also helps prevent deaths in the cot, which are more common in single babies than in multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that triplets, twins, and higher-order multiplications have their own space to sleep in. The best way to do this is with an additional bassinet or twin bedside cot that can be placed 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 recommendations to reduce the risk of SIDS by encouraging room sharing and avoiding cobedding, many families with twins and multiples have found it difficult to adhere to these guidelines (1). In a previous study it was found that the majority of twin families that co-bedded their children in the first three months of their lives at home were engaged in dangerous sleep habits.

Parents of twins may not adhere to current SIDS risk reduction recommendations due to a desire to increase their own sleep duration and the inability to accommodate multiple cribs in the home. Additionally, the socioeconomic status of a family could influence their choices regarding sleeping arrangements.

When twins are placed side-by-side in a small crib or Moses basket, they could easily become entangled by their bedding and could choke on one another. If you decide to place your twins in the same cot together ensure that they are in an area where their feet are next to their heads and their bedding is placed in each cot with a secure. This will reduce the chance of them choking on each one.

A bassinet that is positioned at the bedside co sleeper, like the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the safest and more convenient options for twins that want to sleep separately. This double bassinet features mesh walls that separate twins so that they each have their own safe, flat sleep surface. It can be turned 360 degrees, which means you can bring your baby closer to you without having to leave your bed. The walls on the sides automatically lower and return with each movement. It's also easy to clean and can be tucked away in the standard twin bed frame. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, look into the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet that is available at Walmart and offers similar features to the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

Being welcomed by twins or multiples to the world is a huge life change. Not least, they require a lot of preparation and thought when it comes to their sleeping arrangements and how they will get a good night's sleep. While the decisions regarding their future bedroom space are made as they age parents often ask how they can help them to settle in the early stages.

It is possible for twins to share a crib when they are small. This is referred to as co-bedding, and can provide great comfort to newborns as it helps them remember the womb. It is crucial to ensure that the beds are large enough for infants to be comfortable without touching each others or roll around. You should also remember that the baby that is the first to wake up must be fed. It can be helpful to co-ordinate night feeds so that you can wake one of them up earlier than the other.

It is crucial to keep in mind that twins can be distinct and may develop their own sleeping routines. It could be that one child wakes more than the other or that they prefer to be nearer to you. In this situation it may be beneficial for the twins to share their own crib or bassinet in their room.

When shopping for a twin bedside crib travel cot look for models with ventilated mesh dividers that can create distinct sleeping areas. This is crucial for babies that are susceptible to overheating, or for families with mothers who have had c-sections.

Other options are the Graco Pack 'n Play and the Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel but they offer a smaller sleeping area than the Arm's Reach cot.

It is not recommended to sleep with twins in the same bed as an adult, even if they are very close. This could increase the risk of SIDS and cause strangulation or suffocation. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins should be kept in their bassinets or cribs in the parents' rooms for the first 6 months.
