Bedside Co-Sleeper - What is a Bedside Co-Sleeper?

A bedside co-sleeper is a bassinet which attaches to the bed's side, allowing you to reach for baby in the middle of the night. This kind of co-sleeping has been suggested by The Lullaby Trust and NHS as it lets you keep your baby close without the risk of SIDS.

Peace of Mind

Co-sleeping is an important parenting choice. Some parents are concerned that sleeping close to their child increases the risk of SIDS. However studies such as those conducted by NHS suggest the reverse. Co-sleeping refers to sharing the same sleeping surface which could increase the risk of SIDS. Bedside cots with co sleepers have been designed to provide an appropriate middle ground between bed-sharing and separate sleeping areas which allows parents to reach over their child and gently soothe them without leaving the security of their own bed.

Babies sleep best when they are fed and comforted frequently however exhausted parents might be unable to leave their beds to feed or soothe them. A bedside cot co sleeper cot with a co sleeper allows parents to keep their infant in a safe distance and not have to leave their bed. The innovative design of some co sleepers, such as the SnuzPod also allows the four walls to zip down and transform the cot into a cradle with an extra layer of protection that allows parents who are tired to keep an eye on their newborn while remaining in their bed.

Even a small amount of alcohol or other drugs can increase the risk of SIDS. Co-sleeping with children is not recommended when the parent has an history of snoring. The NHS recommends ensuring that babies are sleeping on their backs in order to minimize the risk of accidental rolling and the risk of suffocation. A bedside cot or bassinet is the most secure method to ensure this.

Safety

The NHS suggests that babies sleep in their own cribs, rather than sharing your bed. This is due to the higher risk of overheating and suffocation. When a baby is in bed with their parents are more likely to be covered by blankets, pillows or sheets. This can cause SIDS. This is why a crib for bed is an ideal solution. The crib is near the parents, which prevents suffocation or overheating of the baby. It can still be reached easily for nighttime feedings and comforting.

When the Dutch co-sleeping cot image first became viral four years ago parents from all over the world were eager to get their hands on one to experience safe co-sleeping while their child was sleeping. Despite the enthusiasm and excitement doctors aren't yet completely in support of the idea of a sleeping cot that can be fixed to the side of a bed for adults.

The main concern is that a parent could roll on the infant and cause strangulation or suffocation. The risk of this is particularly high if the parent is drinking, smoking, alcohol or taking drugs during sleep. Other dangers include overheating, the risk of a fall and the possibility of maternal death during pregnancy and following the birth of the child.

If you decide to purchase a bedside sleeper, it's vital to choose one that meets the highest safety standards. The mattress must fit snugly without gaps and shouldn't be prone to sliding. You should also be familiar with the weight limitations and age-related recommendations for the sleeper.

All new bedside sleepers will have to comply with the new safety standard, that was announced in November of 2020. It replaces the previous standards. There are still older models available for sale in a few stores, but these are gradually disappearing as manufacturers make the transition to the new safety standards.

Before you buy a used model, make sure it's in good condition. Verify that the mechanism that holds the bed to the parent's bed is sturdy and doesn't leave a gap. You should also ensure that the mattress fits within the sleeper without any gaps or bulges. Sheets should be snugly fitted too in order that the child cannot wriggle down inside and become trapped in a pocket, or be in danger of suffocation.

Convenience

Many new parents experience an instinctual desire to be by their child's bed at night, but sleep experts like Lullaby Trust recommend avoiding bed-sharing. Using a bedside crib, or bassinet is a better option. They are designed to be attached to the sides of a parent's bed, keeping baby within easy reach to feed at night and providing comfort. This means that exhausted parents do not have to leave their own bed at night, and they can keep an watch on their child while still getting a goodnight's sleep.

Children who sleep in separate bedrooms are more likely than other children to have breathing pauses (apnoea) and are also at higher risk of developing SIDS. Research has found that babies sleep better when they are in close proximity to their parents. The fact that your child is a co-sleeper also means that you are able to swiftly respond to any problems and soothe them, so they are more comfortable.

Choosing the best bassinet or bedside baby sleeper crib that is suitable for your family will depend on a variety of aspects, such as your living situation and long-term plans.
