Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

It's best to keep newborn twins close together However, you must follow safety sleeping guidelines. The right crib arrangement can aid your twins in establishing an established routine for sleeping.

A double bassinet that has an divider is a great choice for twins. These beds can be used to keep their infants close for diaper changes and mid-night feedings. They are also great for babies who may outgrow their bassinets before baby 2.

Space-Saving

As long as you adhere to safe sleeping guidelines, twins are able to sleep in a crib that is bedside side-by-side. They should sleep on their backs with their heads pointing towards each other and their feet at the opposite ends. When they're old enough, they can also sleep together in a Moses Basket or regular crib.

We are in love with this Delta double bassinet. It has a mesh divider to keep babies separate but close to each and each other. It also comes with a storage compartment for snacks and wipes. It's also foldable which makes it easy to move around the home and take on trips.

Another alternative is this EZ Fold Twin Bassinet from Walmart It can swivel to bring fussy twins closer to you for feeding and soothing. The sides lower and raise for access and lock into place for safety. It's a little heavier and longer than some other options, but it's perfect for second floors or grandparents houses, and it comes with a travel cot bedside bag. It's also a lot cheaper than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

It is not recommended that parents of twins place their babies in the same bassinet or crib. Instead the group Rednose recommends that twins be provided with their own private sleeping space (crib, bassinet or portable crib) in the parents' or caregiver's room until they turn 12 months old in order to reduce the risk of SIDS. This is known as co-bedding. It has been proven that twins who grew in this type of environment develop a more synchronized sleeping pattern.

A twin bedside cot such as the Teknum FELLOW 2 is an excellent option to achieve this. It comes with two separate sets of bedding so that each baby has their own personal space. This bedside cot is able to easily be moved from room to room when necessary, and also allows you to check on babies without needing to wake them by re-entering their sleeping zone or disrupting their sleep patterns.

Double bassinets are an alternative. They permit babies to sleep side-byside, and they're perfect for feedings or diaper changes during the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin has a breathable mesh panel and adjustable height that allows each baby to be easily accessible and visible at all times. The sides of the sleeper adjust to lower and raise for quick access. If you're looking for a more affordable option, the Walmart-exclusive Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet is similar, with two separate sleeping zones, separated by mesh panels that allow babies to see one another and the entire mattress can rotate 360 degrees to give an easy access to every infant.

Many parents have discovered that bedding twins in moses baskets, or a small bassinette, is a great option in situations of a short duration, like hospital stays or a family visit. This should only be done under the supervision of by a healthcare professional. They will make sure that the babies are properly placed in a crib with their feet at the bottom of the crib, and all bedding is tucked in.

Safety

The most important security feature when it comes to twins is that they have their own bed. This ensures that each baby isn't smothered, or choked by the other. It also helps to prevent cot death, which is more common in single babies than in multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that triplets, twins, and higher-order multiplications have their own sleep space. This can be done with an additional bassinet, or a twin bedside crib you can put on your bed to feed or soothe one of your babies during the night.

Although recent SIDS risk reduction recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics encourage room sharing with a parent and discourage cobedding but the reality is that a lot of families of twins and other higher-order multiples have difficulty complying with these guidelines (1). A previous study revealed that a large majority of families with twins who were cobedded in the first three months at home opted for unsafe sleep practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins may not follow the current SIDS risk reduction guidelines due to a desire extend their own sleep time and the inability to accommodate multiple cribs at home. Additionally, socioeconomic status can influence family decisions regarding sleeping arrangements.

When twins are placed side-by-side in a small crib or Moses basket, they could easily become entangled by their bedding and could choke on each other. If you decide to sleep your twins in the same cot, it is important to put them in the feet-to-head position and have their bedding tucked securely into each cot to minimize the possibility of them colliding with each one.

A bassinet for bed, such as the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the safer and easier options for twins who want to be able to sleep independently. This double bassinet comes with an insulated mesh wall that separates twins so that they each have their own secure and comfortable, flat sleeping surface. It can rotate 360 degrees so you can bring your baby closer to you for feedings or calming without having to leave the comfort of your bed. The side walls lower and auto-return when you move. It is also easy to clean, and can be tucked away into the standard twin-sized bed frame. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, check out the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet, which is available at Walmart and has similar features to the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

It is a major life change to welcome twins or multiples into the world. Not only that, they require a great deal of planning and consideration regarding their sleeping arrangements and how they'll get a good night's sleep. Parents often wonder what they can do to help their children feel at ease from an early age.

It is possible for twins to share a crib when they are small. Co-bedding is a method of soothing newborns by bringing them back to their womb. It is important to make sure the beds are big enough for babies to be comfortable, without touching each other or rolling around. You should also remember that the baby bedside cot that wakes up first should be fed. It is helpful to coordinate nighttime feeds so that you can get one baby up before the other.

However, it is important to keep in mind that twins can be quite different and could have their own sleep patterns. You may find that one of them wakes more than the other, or prefers to be nearer to you. In this situation, it might be best for the twins to share their own crib or bassinet in their room.

Choose a cot with twin beds with mesh dividers that are breathable for separate sleeping areas. This is especially important for babies who are prone to overheating, or for families with mothers who have had c-sections. A reversible base as well as wheels that are easy to maneuver are also beneficial features. The Arm's Reach cot, which is specifically designed for mothers who have a c-section is a great option due to its large bedside crib sleeping area and is easy to maneuver. Other options are the Graco Pack 'n Play and the Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel, however, they have smaller sleeping areas than the Arm's Reach cot.

Even if they're very close, it's not recommended to let twins share a bed with an adult. There is a higher risk of SIDS, and could lead to suffocation, strangulation or entrapment. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins should be in their own cribs or bassinets in their parents' rooms for the first 6 months.
