Bedside Baby Beds

Baby cribs that can be set next to the bed allow parents to keep their baby close during the night without compromising the safety of their child. They are designed specifically for newborns and can be used until 6 to 4-6 months.

The Halo Bassinest can be swiveled over the bed of the parent and comes with a push-down feature that lets parents scoop up their newborn for feedings in the middle of the night. The base will not fit under beds lower than 4.5" high.

Safety features

A bedside crib allows parents to keep their infants close for feedings at night, comforting and monitoring without leaving their beds. This type of arrangement is ideal for new mothers recovering from childbirth, or who are unable to move around. It can help parents stay well-rested throughout the night. It is, however, essential to look at safety features before purchasing a bedside baby bed (continue reading this).

This type of sleep surface presents a safety hazard because it does not provide an adequate barrier between the parent's sleeping area as well as the infant's sleeping space. This could lead to gaps that could pose suffocation hazards to young infants. Sharing a bed increases the body heat of the parent, which can increase the risk of overheating. This could lead to SIDS.

While some manufacturers claim bedside co-sleepers are safer than cribs, they are not required to meet the CPSC safety standards. They may feature slats that allow a baby's head or legs to be snagged, and their attachment mechanisms may be unstable, and could cause separation.

A lot of these surfaces have loose bedding, which can lead to suffocation. Babies lack the strength and coordination to remove themselves from soft bedding. There are gaps between the frame and mattress can also create a suffocation risk. Some of these products also have a hard bottom that could injure a baby should they fall upon it. One user suggested that CPSC include pictograms in the warnings for these products, which will reduce the chances of caregivers ignoring key elements. Bedside sleepers must have a smooth transition system to prevent the baby from slipping off the parent's bed.

Bedding

A bedside crib, also referred to as a co-sleeper or bassinet allows infants to sleep beside their parents' beds, while having an independent sleeping space. This type of safe co-sleeping reduces the risk of entrapment, suffocation, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by keeping babies close to their parents and within arms' reach for mid-night meals or for comforting.

Baby bedding to sleep on the bed could include bumpers and crib sheets. It could also include blankets and stuffed animals. Make sure the bedding you choose fits the sleeping baby's bed in a proper way. This will stop pockets or bulges from blocking the baby's airway. Also, ensure that the mattress you buy for your bedside sleeper is firm and fits snugly without gaps around the edges.

When you are choosing a bedding set, look for a set that is easy to wash and dry to keep it clean when your infant has accidents or spits up in the night. Consider the possibility of a travel cot bedside kit that will simplify the process of packing and unpack your bedside sleeping set when you're to a vacation destination or visiting your grandparents.

If your child has outgrown their bedside sleeper, you are able to change them to a stand-alone toddler or crib. When transitioning, be sure to remove the crib from the parent's bed over several months or even weeks to allow your child to become comfortable sleeping in their own space while still being a part of their parents' presence. Also, make sure you select a crib that can fold up easily for storage and transportation. Certain models can be transformed into a play yard or a deeper bassinet. This makes them an ideal choice for new parents who are keen to travel.

Tilt function

A bedside sleeper, also referred to as the bassinet, is a bassinet attached to the bed's side for adults. One side is lower than the other to allow parents to reach their child at the end of the night. It could also come with a tilt function that can help ease reflux in infants. Some parents find this feature can help their child sleep better. However it is important to remember that a slanted or elevated sleeping surface could encourage your baby to sleep in a risky chin-to-chest posture. This could result in suffocation and should be avoided.

Selecting a mattress that is suitable is another key factor when choosing a bedside crib. It should be firm and flat and airy. The mattress should be the same size as the crib and fit snugly into the frame. It is best to purchase a new mattress for the crib since a second-hand one could increase the chance of SIDS. Some retailers offer mattresses designed specifically for specific bed frames therefore it is recommended to choose them if you can.

Some bedside cribs, like the Halo BassiNest, are designed to be tucked under your bed to make space while bringing your child closer. However certain beds are too low for this type of crib. The splayed feet of the BassiNest make it difficult to move underneath some beds. It isn't easy to secure the BassiNest underneath a divan, which could cause it to shift or rock out of line with your mattress.

Other types of bedside cribs like the Ingenuity Dream and Grow Bedside Bassinet can be placed next to your mattress, but they aren't able to tilt. CHOICE recommends parents to use these beds with a firm, breathable mattress. The tilting of a bassinet can encourage your child to slide into a risky position, increasing their danger of suffocation.

Foot-to-foot positioning

A bedside crib, also called a co-sleeper or bassinet, is a compact crib that is attached to the edge of an adult's bed. This lets parents access their child easily throughout the night. The beds are typically larger than traditional bassinets or cots. Some have a lower edge that creates an enclosure between the sleeping spaces. They are typically made of durable materials, and many have wheels for easy transport around the home.

Some bedside cot used cribs have tilt features, which can help babies with digestive issues like reflux or colic. It is important to use the tilt feature with care and only at a very small angle to prevent the risk of suffocation. If you're unsure about whether to utilize this feature, speak to your doctor or health professional for advice.

The mattress is a further safety consideration to make when selecting a crib for your child's bedside. The mattress should be firm, flat and breathable to reduce the risk of SIDS. A mattress that is too soft may result in a clogged airway, which is extremely dangerous for newborns. A mattress that is breathable can help your baby stay cool during the night, which will lower the risk of overheating.

It is recommended that you put your baby to bed in their own safe sleeping space - such as a crib, cot bedside or Moses basket. It could be appealing to sleep in the same bed with your baby, but this can result in SIDS. Wait until your baby can be able to sleep on his own before trying to sleep with them. If you are able to, ensure that your bedroom is smoke-free to ensure your child is safe from second-hand smoke. If you're on a lower income, you may be eligible for assistance with a bassinet or crib from Plunket.

Second-hand cribs

Parents looking to save money may be enticed by a used crib, bassinet or cradle they receive from a relative or friend. But, cribs are among of the leading causes of deaths involving nursery products particularly when older models are damaged or missing parts or larger spaces between slats (which could create suffocation dangers). Additionally, older mattresses can develop dips and other issues that could pose danger to your baby. If your crib is too old to meet the current safety standards it could be contaminated by lead paint or have other harmful chemicals.

Verify whether the crib has been removed from the crib. Make sure the crib was painted with water-based paint, as this is safer for babies. Also, ensure that the mattress is sturdy and snugly fits. Babies are prone to slip out of mattresses with soft surfaces as well as could pose a danger of suffocation.

In addition to cribs, pay close attention to used bassinets, cradles and play yards. They should all be JPMA-certified, and free of sharp edges which could cause injury to your baby. Avoid putting pillows, blankets or toys to these items that could become entrapment hazards.

Infants have died from cribs that were altered or interfered with. Most of these incidents occurred when caregivers or parents attempted to make the cribs more functional or more attractive by adding or modifying things. Since 1973 crib makers and the CPSC worked together to establish mandatory standards for safer cribs for infants. These standards addressed things like side heights, spacing between slats, mattress fits, corner posts, and cutouts on end panels. In the past few years, the number of deaths attributed to cribs has dropped from 150-200 per year to just 50.
