bedside co sleeper cot Cosleeper

A bedside cosleeper is a bassinet which connects to the side of your adult bed. If you stick to the CSPC guidelines for sleeping areas for infants, it's safe.

These guidelines are similar to crib bedding standards. Find out more about the guidelines here. The most important aspects to take into consideration when selecting a bedside sleeper are: Safety, Comfort, and Convenience.

Safety

In keeping with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants sleep in the same bed with their parents, cosleeping (a method that is sometimes referred to as bed-sharing) has gained popularity with many new and expecting parents. The Academy states that room-sharing with a baby is less risky than sleeping in the same bed with parents because it lowers the risk of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). While the AAP disapproves of bed sharing however, it does recommend that sleeping with a partner be done on a separate sleeping surface to reduce the risk of SIDS. This is why the introduction of the bedside cosleeper became so important to many families.

A bedside cosleeper is attached to a bed frame for adults. It is a crib like sleeper. The bedside cosleeper lets parents keep an eye on the baby, and also gives the baby the ability to sleep in their own bed. The top cosleepers adhere to strict safety standards and are built using durable, high-quality materials. To ensure the safety of your child be sure to look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association stamp of approval. This proves that the product has been tested thoroughly and quality control.

The safety of a cosleeper is contingent on a variety of factors. This includes how it's set up and secured to the mattress of the parent. It is important that the rocking bedside crib sleeper be secured to the mattress of the parent in a way that does not create gaps and spaces, where an infant could be trapped. This could pose an entrapment risk. It is important that the attachment system of a large bedside cot crib be tested to verify it is able to withstand the forces that may be applied in the course of use, for example, parents rolling onto and off of the sleeper or 25-pound. The attachment system or the corners on the bedside cosleeper must be subjected to the horizontal force.

The standard for bedside sleepers incorporates by reference the federal consumer safety standard for bassinets and bedside cosleeper cradles (16 CFR part 1218) that includes requirements for the performance of enclosed openings made of fabric. The mandatory requirements in the standard also address neck and head dangers of entrapment by requiring that after the application and release of 50 lbs. horizontal force at the attachment systems and corners of the bedside crib travel sleeping device, a gap greater than 1.0 in. It is not permitted to create a gap greater than 1.0 in. The standard is not available for reading. can be obtained from ASTM's electronic Reading Room.

Convenience

While many parents have avoided cosleeping due to fear of suffocation SIDS or the "Ferberization" process that requires children to sleep alone, anthropologists have long noted that the majority of mammals and primates, as well as people living in non-Western societies, frequently coslept. This is due to the fact that babies are soothed when they hear their mother's voice. They can also learn to self-soothe.

The best bedside sleepers feature a clever design that attaches on the side of any mattress and pivots so that you can access it easily for feedings or diaper changes in the middle of the night. Find one with feet that are adjustable and retract to accommodate different mattress sizes, and a big storage compartment for all the necessities for your baby.

Choose a large bedside cot sleeper which is compatible with the standard crib bedding to be used safely as your child grows. You might also look into a convertible model that can transform into a play yard or a deeper bassinet for years of use, and folds easily for transport.

Portability

Based on the size of your bedroom a bedside sleeping system with wheels and/or a light base could be easier to move around the house than one that has a heavy wood frame or massive base. The babybay Bedside sleeper, HALO BassiNest Essentia and Snoo Smart Sleeper all come with amazing portability features. The adjustable feet that retract to fit platform beds and the legs fold inward to ensure maximum proximity to the mattress and a sides made of 100% mesh to allow for ventilation without any fabric covering baby's mouth or nose.

The Arm's Reach Clear-Vue is another top choice that adjusts in 1" increments to fit in most adult beds and can also function as an portable bassinet. It also pivots to allow quick access to the baby so that you can comfort her, nurse her, or check on them at night.
