Bedside Cosleeper A bedside cosleeper is attached to your adult bed. It's safe as long as you adhere to the CSPC safety guidelines for infant sleeping spaces. These guidelines are very similar to crib bedding standards. Learn more about the guidelines here. When selecting a bedside sleeping device safety, comfort, and ease of use are the primary aspects to take into consideration. Safety In line with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants sleep in the same bed with their parents, cosleeping (a practice also referred to as bed-sharing) is becoming popular with a lot of new and expecting parents. The Academy notes that room-sharing is safer than sleeping with an infant in the same bed as it decreases the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infants or SIDS. While the AAP disapproves of bed sharing, it does recommend that cosleeping be done on a separate sleep surface to minimize the risk of SIDS. The development of the bedside crib was important for many families. A bedside cosleeper attaches to a bed frame for adults. It's an equivalent of a crib-style sleeper. The bedside cosleeper lets parents monitor the baby and gives them the option of sleeping in their own bed. The most reliable cosleepers are made using high-quality materials and meet strict safety standards. To ensure your child's safety, look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association stamp of approval. This confirms rigorous testing and quality control. The safety of a crib is contingent on a variety of factors. This includes how it's installed and secured to the mattress of the parent. It is important that the bedside cosleeper be attached to the parent's mattress in a manner that prevents gaps and spaces where an infant could be trapped. This could result in an entrapment risk. It is vital that the attachment system of a bedside sleeper be examined to make sure that it can withstand forces that are imposed during use, such as the parent rolling on and off the sleeper. The attachment system or corners on the bedside cosleeper must be tested against a horizontal force. The standard that is voluntary for bedside sleepers incorporates by reference the federal consumer safety standard for bassinets and cradles (16 CFR part 1218) that includes requirements for the performance of enclosed openings made of fabric. bedside travel cot tackle the issue of head and neck traps by requiring after the application, release 50 lbs. The standard also requires that following the release and application of 50 pounds. It is not permitted to create a gap that is greater than 1.0 in. Only read-only copies of the standard can be obtained from ASTM's online Reading Room. Convenience Many parents do not allow cosleeping because they fear being suffocated or SIDS, or because it is an act of “Ferberization” that forces children to be in a room by themselves. Anthropologists have noticed for a long time that many primates, mammals, and people from other cultures sleep regularly. It could be because infants are soothed by the familiar voice of their mother, and it may also help them practice self-soothing. The top bedside sleepers have clever design that can be attached to the side of a bed and pivots to allow easy access for feedings during the night or diaper changes. Find one with adjustable feet that retract to accommodate various mattress sizes, and a big storage compartment for all your baby's needs. Choose small bedside cot which can fit in with standard crib bedding so that it can be used safely as your child grows. You may also want to look into a convertible model that could transform into a play area or a more deep bassinet to last for years of use, and folds up easily for transport. Portability Depending on the dimensions of your bedroom, a bedside sleeping system with wheels and/or a light base could be more convenient to move around your home than one that has frames made of wood or a large base. The babybay bedside sleeper HALO bassiNest essencetia and Snoo Smart Sleeper are all portable. They have adjustable feet that can be retracted to accommodate platforms and legs that fold inwards so that they are in close proximity to the mattress; and 100% mesh sidewalls to allow ventilation without fabric covering baby's nose or mouth. The Arm's Reach ClearVue is a top option. It adjusts in 1” increments and can be used as a bassinet or a portable bed. It also pivots to allow quick access to the baby so that you can help her relax, nurse her, or monitor the baby during the night.
