Bedside Cosleeper A bedside cosleeper can be described as a bassinet that is attached to the side of your adult bed. As long as you adhere to the CSPC guidelines for infant sleeping spaces, it's safe. These guidelines are similar in many ways to crib bedding standards. Learn more about the guidelines here. The most important features to consider when choosing the best bedside sleeper are Safety, Comfort, and Convenience. Safety Many new parents and expecting mothers have chosen to cosleep or bed-sharing, in line with the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that infants should sleep in the same room as their parents. The Academy says that sharing rooms is more secure than sleeping with a baby in the same bed as it decreases the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infants or SIDS. The AAP doesn't recommend bed sharing however it does suggest that sleeping on a separate sleeping surface is a great way to reduce the risk of SIDS. The development of the bedside crib was important for many families. A bedside sleeper is attached to a bed frame for adults. It's an equivalent of a crib-style sleeper. The bedside cosleeper lets parents monitor the baby and allows them the freedom to sleep in their own bed. The top cosleepers are constructed using high-quality materials and meet strict safety standards. Look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) stamp of approval, which indicates rigorous testing of the product and quality control to ensure your child's safety cosleeping experience. The safety of a cosleeper is contingent on a variety of factors. This includes the way it's put in place and secured onto the mattress of the parent. bedside crib that turns into cot is crucial that the bedside cosleeper be secured to the mattress of the parent in a manner that prevents gaps and spaces, where an infant could be trapped. This could result in a suffocation risk. It is crucial that the attachment system for the bedside sleeper be tested in order to ensure that it is able to withstand any forces that are imposed during use, such as the parent moving on and off the sleeper. The attachment system or corners on the bedside cosleeper should be subjected to an upward force. The voluntary standard for bedside sleepers includes by reference the federal consumer safety standard for bassinets and cradles (16 CFR part 1218), which includes performance requirements for enclosed openings with a fabric-side. The mandatory requirements of the standard also address neck and head dangers of entrapment by insisting that following the application and release of 50 lbs. horizontal force at the attachment systems and corners of the bedside sleeper, gaps greater than 1.0 in. is not allowed to be created. The standard is not available for reading. can be found at ASTM's electronic Reading Room. Convenience Many parents have resisted cosleeping because of fears of suffocation SIDS or the “Ferberization” process that makes children to sleep on their own Anthropologists have long observed that the majority of mammals and primates as well as those who live in non-Western societies, have regularly cosleep. It could be because infants are soothed by the familiar voice of their mother and it can also help them learn to self-soothe. The top bedside sleepers have a smart design that attaches to the sides of any bed and can be swiveled for ease of access to feedings in the middle of the night or diaper changes. Look for one with feet that can be adjusted to retract to accommodate different mattress sizes, and a big storage compartment to store all of your baby's necessities. Choose a bedside crib that will fit the standard crib bedding, so that it's safe to use as your child grows. You may also want to think about a convertible model that could transform into a play yard or a deeper bassinet for years of use, and folds easily to travel. Portability Depending on the size of your bedroom, a bedside sleeping system with wheels and/or a light base might be easier to move around your home than one with frames made of wood or a substantial base. The babybay bedside sleeper HALO bassiNest essencetia and Snoo Smart Sleeper are all movable. They have adjustable feet that retract to accommodate platforms and legs that fold inwards to allow maximum proximity to the mattress; and 100 mesh sidewalls that allow ventilation without covering the baby's nose or mouth. The Arm's Reach ClearVue is an excellent option. It adjusts in 1” increments and can be used as a bassinet or portable bed. It also swivels to allow easy access to your baby to comfort, nurse or check on her during the night.
