Bedside Baby Beds

Baby cribs that can be placed next to the bed allow parents to keep their child close during the night without risking safety. They are designed for use by babies up until 4-6 months.

Safety features

A bedside baby bed lets parents keep their babies close for evening feedings, comforting and monitoring, without having to leave their own bed. This arrangement of sleep is perfect for mothers who are recovering from childbirth, or who are unable to move around. It can help parents remain more rested throughout the night. It is nevertheless important to consider safety features prior to purchasing a bedside baby bed.

The main safety issue for this type of sleep surface is that it is not an entirely secure barrier between the parent's bed and the baby's sleeping space and can result in gaps that could cause dangers of suffocation to infants. Sharing a bed increases the body heat of the parent, which can increase the risk of overheating. This can lead to SIDS.

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

Many of these surfaces have loose bedding that could cause suffocation. Babies do not have the strength or coordination to get rid of the tangles in soft bedding, and gaps between the mattress and the frame could create a suffocation hazard. Some of these products have a hard base that could cause injury to a baby should they fall onto it. One user suggested that CPSC include pictograms in its warnings on these products, which would lower the risk of caregivers not knowing the most important elements. Additionally, bedside sleepers must have a smooth transition mechanism to prevent the baby from sliding off the bed of their parents.

Bedding

A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet) lets babies sleep beside their parents' beds while still occupying a separate space. This type of safe co-sleeping reduces the risk of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping children close to their parents.

Baby bedding for a sleeper beside the bed can include bumpers and crib sheets. It could also include blankets and stuffed animals. Be sure that any bedding you choose to use is appropriate for the bedside sleeper to avoid pockets or bulges that might impede the baby's breathing. Make sure that the mattress you choose for your sleeping baby is sturdy and secure without any gaps around the edges.

When selecting a bedding set, look for a set that is easy to wash and dry to keep it clean when your infant is having accidents or spits up in the night. You might also want to consider a travel kit for your sleeper at night, so you can easily take it out and back when you travel with your family or visit the grandparents home.

When your child is no longer a foldable bedside crib sleeper, it is possible to transition them to a standalone toddler or a crib. When transitioning, be sure to move the crib away from the bed of your parent over several months or weeks so that your infant can become comfortable sleeping in their own space while still feeling connected to their parents' presence. Choose a crib that can be folded to be stored and transported. Certain models can be transformed into a play yard or a more substantial bassinet. This makes them a perfect option for parents who are new and are keen to travel.

Tilt function

A bedside sleeper, also referred to as a bassinet, is a piece of furniture that is attached to the side of a bed for adults. One side is lower than the other side to allow parents to reach their baby at night. It may also have a tilt feature that helps reduce reflux in infants. Some parents have found that this feature can help their child sleep more comfortably. It is important to remember that a slanted or elevated, sleeping surface may encourage your baby's chin to chest position. This can lead to suffocation and should be avoided.

A suitable mattress is also an important factor when choosing the crib for your child's bed. It should be firm and flat and ventilated. The size should match the dimensions of the crib and fit snugly within the frame. A second-hand mattress could increase the risk of SIDS and it is recommended that you purchase new crib mattresses. Certain retailers sell mattresses that are designed for specific bed frames, therefore it is recommended to stick with those if you can.

Some cribs for bedside use are designed to tuck under your bed to conserve space and keep your baby close, like the Halo BassiNest. However some beds are too low for this kind of crib. The splayed feet of BassiNest make it difficult to slide underneath certain beds. It's also difficult to tuck it under a divan bed, which can cause it to rock or shift out of alignment with the mattress.

Other types of bedside bassinets, like the Ingenuity Sleep and Grow Bedside Crib can be positioned close to your mattress however, they aren't able to be slanted. CHOICE advises parents to only use these beds with a comfortable, firm mattress. The tilting of a bassinet can encourage your child to slide into a dangerous position, increasing their danger of suffocation.

Position of foot-to-foot

A bedside cot reviews baby bed, also called a co-sleeper or bassinet, is a tiny crib that is attached to the edge of an adult's bed. This allows parents to easily access their child during the night. They are generally larger than the standard cots and bassinets. Some have a lower edge that creates an enclosure between the sleeping spaces. These beds are constructed from sturdy materials, and many have wheels that make them easier to move around the home.

Some cribs for bed have a tilt feature that can aid babies suffering from digestive issues such as reflux or colic. It's important to use the tilt feature with care and only at a small angle to avoid suffocation. Consult your physician or health visitor if you are unsure whether to use the feature.

The mattress is a further safety consideration to make when selecting a crib for your child's bedside. The mattress must be smooth, firm and breathable to reduce the risk of SIDS. A mattress that's too soft can cause obstruction of the airway in infants, which can lead to danger. A breathable mattress will also ensure that your baby stays cool during the night, which could decrease the chance of overheating.

It is recommended that you place your baby in a secure sleeping area - crib, cot for bedside or Moses basket. While it could be tempting to put your baby in a bed, this poses a serious risk of SIDS. Wait until your baby can be able to sleep on his own before trying to sleep with them. If you need to, make sure your bedroom is smokefree to safeguard your baby from smoke from other rooms. Plunket might be able to help with a bassinet or a crib if you have a low-income.

Second-hand cribs

Parents looking to save money could be tempted by a secondhand bassinet, crib or cradle they acquire from a relative or friend. However, cribs are one of the main causes of nursery-product related deaths, especially when older ones have missing or damaged parts or have wider spaces between slats (which could lead to suffocation risks). Mattresses that are older can also develop dips and other issues that can be risky for your child. If a crib is older than the safety guidelines in place, it could be tainted by lead paint and could contain other harmful chemicals.

If you're thinking of buying a used crib, always look to see if it has been removed from sale by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It is also an excellent idea to determine whether the crib was painted with water-based paint which is much safer for infants than phthalic or oil paint. Ensure that the mattress is firm, and that it fits comfortably. Babies are prone to slip out of soft mattresses and also could pose a danger of suffocation.

In addition to cribs, pay close attention to any secondhand bassinets, cradles, and play yards. They should all be JPMA-certified, and free of sharp edges that could scratch or poke your baby. Avoid putting pillows, blankets or toys to these products which could create dangerous entrapment risks.

Infants have died in cribs that were altered or played with. The majority of these deaths were caused by caregivers or parents who tried to make the cribs functional or more attractive by incorporating or altering things. Since 1973, crib manufacturers and the CPSC have worked together to establish mandatory standards for cribs that are safer, and have addressed things like side heights, corner posts, mattress fit and cutouts on end panels. As as a result, deaths from cribs have dropped from around 150 to 200 deaths per year to around 50.
