Bedside CoSleeper What is a Bedside CoSleeper A bedside cot co sleeper is a bassinet that attaches to the beds side allowing you to reach out for your baby in the middle of the night This type of cosleeping has been recommended by the NHS and the Lullaby Trust as it allows you keep your baby close and not risk SIDS Peace of Mind Cosleeping is a crucial parenting choice Although some parents are worried that sleeping in close proximity to their baby increases the risk of SIDS studies like those conducted by NHS suggest that the opposite is true Cosleeping is a form of sharing a bed which can increase the risk for SIDS bedside cot newborn sleepers for bedside cots are designed to provide a secure middle space between bed sharing and separate sleeping areas They allow parents to reach over and provide comfort to their child without leaving their bed Babies sleep best when they are fed and reassured regularly however exhausted parents might be unable to leave their beds to feed or comfort them The bedside co sleeper allows parents the option of keeping their infant close to them and not need to leave their bed The unique design of some co sleepers such as the SnuzPod also allows the four walls to slide down and transform the cot into a cradle with an extra layer of security which makes it easier for parents who are exhausted to watch their newborn while remaining in the bed It is worth bearing in mind that the risk of SIDS increases when a parent smokes even with a cosleeper and if any drinks or substances are consumed even in small quantities Cosleeping with a child is not recommended if the parent has an history of snoring The NHS recommends that babies rest on their backs in order to minimize the risk of suffocation and accidental rolling A bassinet or cot at the bedside is the safest way to make sure this is done Safety While cosleeping is widely practiced in many countries the NHS suggests that infants be in their own cots instead of sharing a bed This is due to the higher risk of overheating and suffocation Babies in bed with parents are more likely to be surrounded by blankets pillows or sheets which can restrict their breathing and contribute to SIDS This is why a crib that is placed near the bed is a fantastic solution The crib is located close to the parents preventing overheating or suffocation of the baby It can still be easily accessible for feedings at night and for providing comfort Parents around the world were eagerly awaiting the Dutch cosleeping pod when it first became popular in 2004 They wanted to experience safe cosleeping Despite the excitement doctors do not support the idea of a bed that connects to the side of an adult bed The main concern is that a parent might accidentally roll over an infant causing strangulation or death The risk is especially high if the parent smokes drinks alcohol or taking drugs during sleep Other risks include overheating the chance of falling and the risk of maternal death during pregnancy or after childbirth If you decide to opt for a bedside mattress it is crucial to select one that is in compliance with all safety standards The mattress should fit tightly without gaps and be prone sagging You should also be familiar with the recommended weight and age for the person sleeping All new bedside sleepers must be compliant with the new safety standard that was launched in November 2020 and replaces the previous standards Some stores may have older models on sale however they are slowly disappearing as manufacturers make the switch to the new standards Before you buy a used model check that its in good shape Make sure that the mechanism that holds the bed to the parents bed is sturdy and doesnt leave a gap and that the mattress is placed within the sleeper without any gaps or bulges The sheets must also fit snugly so that the baby cant wriggle into a pocket and become stuck or suffocate Convenience Sleep experts such as Lullaby Trust advise against bedsharing A bassinet or bedside crib can be a safer option These cribs are designed to connect directly to the bed of the parent to allow the baby to be easily reached for feeding and comforting at night This means that exhausted parents dont have to leave their bed at night and can keep an watch on their child while getting a good nights rest Babies who have a separate bedroom are more likely to suffer breathing pauses apnoea and are also at an increased risk of SIDS Research has shown that babies sleep better when they are in close to their parents You can also respond quickly to any issue or concern your baby to make them feel more comfortable The ideal bedside bassinet or crib for your family is dependent on several factors such as the living situation and future plans For example if you have a partner or household member who may prefer to use the bedside crib then it might be beneficial to consider convertible options that can grow into standalone cribs or toddler beds as your child develops A lot of our cribs have this feature and we suggest getting in touch with us for more information The bedside crib fosters bonding with the mother and baby Its a practical and safe choice for new parents who are tired Studies have proven that mothers who breastfeed tend to breastfeed longer when their infant is close which in turn leads to an even stronger and more secure attachment between the pair A bedside cot is a great option for new mothers who want to keep their baby nearby When buying a bassinet or cosleeper it is important to make sure that it meets all the Lullaby Trust and safe sleep guidelines It is also important to take into consideration your budget as there are a variety of options to choose from
