Bedside Cosleeper

A bedside cosleeper is a bassinet which attaches to the side of your adult bed. It's safe as long as you adhere to the CSPC safety guidelines for infant sleep spaces.

These guidelines are similar to crib bedding standards. You can read more about these guidelines here. The most important features to consider when selecting a bedside sleeper are: Safety Comfort, Convenience, and Safety.

Safety

Many new parents and expecting mothers have embraced cosleeping which is also known as bed-sharing, Bedside Cosleeper in line with the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that infants sleep in the same room as their parents. The Academy notes that room-sharing is safer than sleeping with a baby in the same bed since it decreases the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infants or SIDS. While the AAP discourages bed-sharing however, it does recommend that co-sleeping be done on a separate sleeping surface to minimize the risk of SIDS. This is the reason why the creation of the small bedside cot cosleeper became so important for many families.

A bedside cosleeper attaches to a bed frame that is suitable for adults. It is an equivalent of a crib-style sleeper. The bedside cosleeper enables parents to monitor their baby bedside cot and allows parents the freedom of sleeping in a bed while keeping their child close to them. The most reliable cosleepers are made using high-quality materials and adhere to strict safety standards. Be sure to look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) stamp of approval, which demonstrates strict product testing and quality control to ensure your child's safe cosleeping experience.

The safety of a bedside crib with changing table cosleeper depends on several aspects that include the manner in which it is put up and attached to the parent's bed. It is crucial that the bedside sleeper be connected to the mattress of the parent in a way that eliminates gaps and spaces, where an infant could become trapped. This could result in the risk of suffocation. It is essential that the attachment system of a bedside crib be examined to determine if it is able to withstand the forces that could be imposed during use, such as parents rolling onto and off the sleeper, or a 25-lb. horizontal force applied to the attachment system or corners of the bedside cosleeper.

The standard for bedside sleeping cribs incorporates, by reference, the federal consumer product safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218) which includes the requirements for performance for closed fabric openings. The requirements that are mandatory in the standard also address neck and head dangers through requiring that after the application and release of 50-lb. horizontal force at the attachment system and the corners of the bedside sleeping device, an opening that is greater than 1.0 in. must not be created. Only read-only copies of the standard can be obtained from ASTM's electronic Reading Room.

Convenience

While many parents have avoided cosleeping for fear of suffocation SIDS or the "Ferberization" process that requires children to sleep on their own Anthropologists have noted that mammals and primates, as well as people in non-Western societies, regularly coslept. This may be because infants are calmed by the familiar voice of their mother and it can also help them practice self-soothing.

The best bedside sleepers feature clever designs that are attached to the sides of any mattress and can swivel so that you can easily reach it for feedings or diaper changes in the middle of the night. Look for bedside cosleeper a model with feet that can be adjusted to accommodate various mattress sizes. It should also have a large storage area for all of your baby's essentials.

Select a bedside sleeper that fits the standard crib bedding to be used in a safe manner as your child grows. You may also want to think about an adjustable model that can transform into a play area or a more deep bassinet to last for years of use. It folds easily for travel.

Portability

Based on the size of your bedroom a bedside sleeper with wheels and/or a lightweight base may be easier to move around your home than one with a heavy wood frame or large base. The babybay Bedside Sleeper, HALO BassiNest Essentia and Snoo Smart Sleeper all come with great portability features: adjustable feet that retract to accommodate platforms; legs fold inward to give the most comfortable closeness to the mattress; and sides made of 100% mesh to allow for ventilation without any material covering baby's mouth or nose.

The Arm's Reach ClearVue is a top choice. It adjusts in 1" increments and can be used as a bassinet, or a portable bed. It also rotates, allowing easy access to your baby so that you can soothe your baby, nurse or monitor her throughout the night.
