Bedside Cosleeper

A bedside cosleeper is attached to your adult bed. It's safe as long as you follow the CSPC safety guidelines for infant sleeping spaces.

These guidelines are similar to the crib bedding standards. You can read more about these guidelines here. The most important features to consider when choosing the right bedside sleeper are Safety as well as comfort and convenience.

Safety

In keeping with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants sleep in the same bed as their parents cosleeping (a practice that is also known as bed-sharing) has become popular with many new and expecting parents. The Academy states that room-sharing is safer than sleeping with a baby in the same bed since it reduces instances of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infants (also known as SIDS). The AAP does not recommend bed-sharing but it does recommend that co-sleeping on an individual sleeping surface is a great way to decrease the risk of SIDS. This is why the introduction of the bedside cosleeper was important to many families.

A bedside cosleeper is a similar to a crib sleeper that is attached to an adult bed frame. The bedside cosleeper allows parents to monitor their little one, and it gives them the freedom of sleeping in a bed while keeping their child close to them. The best cosleepers have strict safety standards and are made with durable, high-quality components. Look for newborn bedside cot Cots For Tots (JPMA) stamp of approval, which indicates rigorous product testing and quality control, to ensure your child's safe cosleeping experience.

The security of a cosleeper for the bed depends on several aspects such as the manner in which it is put up and connected to the parent's bed. If the bedside cosleeper is not attached to the parent's bed in a way that prevents the gaps and spaces where an infant can become trapped, it could be the risk of suffocation. It is crucial that the attachment system of a bedside cosleeper be tested to ensure that it is able to withstand the forces that may be applied in the use of it, like parents rolling onto and off the sleeper, or a 25-lb. The attachment system or corners of the bedside sleeper should be exposed to a horizontal force.

The standard for bedside sleeping cribs incorporates, as a reference, the federal consumer safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218) and the requirements for performance for closed fabric openings. The standard's mandatory requirements also address the danger of head and neck imprisonment by requiring that after the application, release a 50-lb. The standard also stipulates that after the application and release of 50-lb. must not be created. Read-only copies of the standard can be accessed at ASTM's online Reading Room.

Convenience

While many parents have avoided cosleeping due to fear of suffocation SIDS or the "Ferberization" process that requires children to be in a room by themselves Anthropologists have noted that mammals and primates, as well as people in non-Western societies, regularly cosleep. This is because babies are soothed by hearing their mother's voice, and can also learn to self-soothe.


The top bedside sleepers have clever design that can be attached to the sides of any bed and swivels for easy access for feedings during the night or diaper changes. Find a model with adjustable feet, which retract to accommodate different sizes of mattresses. It should also have ample storage space for everything your baby needs.

Choose a bedside crib that fits the standard crib bedding, so that it is safe to use as your child grows. You may also want to look into a convertible model that can transform into a play area or a more deep bassinet for a long time of use. It folds easily for transport.

Portability

Based on the size of your bedroom, a bedside cosleeper with wheels and/or a light base might be more convenient 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 are all equipped with great portability features: adjustable feet that retract to accommodate platform beds and legs fold inwards for maximum closeness to the mattress and a sidewalls made of 100% mesh that allow for air circulation without fabric covering the baby's mouth or nose.

The Arm's Reach Clear-Vue is a top choice that adjusts in 1" increments to fit most adult beds and can also serve as a portable bassinet. It also pivots to allow quick access to the baby to comfort her, nurse her, or monitor the baby during the night.
