hazards to young infants Sharing a bed increases the body heat of the parent and can increase the chance of overheating This could lead to SIDS Although some manufacturers claim that bedside cosleepers have a higher safety rating than traditional cribs these devices are not subject to CPSCs safety standards They may feature slats that allow babies legs or heads to be snagged and their attachment mechanisms can be unstable and could cause separation Many of these surfaces also have bedding that is loose which can lead to suffocation Babies lack the strength and coordination to free their bodies from the soft bedding The gaps between the mattress and frame can create an entrapment risk Some of these beddings have a hard bottom that can injure a baby should they fall upon it One commenter suggested that CPSC include pictograms in its warnings on these products which would lower the risk of caregivers missing key elements Sleepers at the bedside need a smooth transition system that stops the baby from falling off the mattress of their parents Bedding A bedside crib also called a cosleeper or bassinet lets babies sleep next to their parents beds while maintaining a separate space This method of sleeping in a safe manner helps reduce the risk of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping babies close to their parents Baby bedding for a sleeper in the bed can include bumpers and crib sheets It could also include blankets and stuffed animals Be sure that the bedding you choose is suitable for the babys bed properly This will stop pockets or bulges from obstructing the babys airway Make sure the mattress you buy for your sleeping baby is sturdy and secure without gaps around the edges If youre in search of a bedding set that will keep your baby clean

and back when you go on family vacations or visit the grandparents homes When your baby is no longer a bedside sleeper it is possible to transition your child to a crib or a toddler that is all on its own When you transition make sure to remove the crib from the bed of the parent for several months or weeks so that your infant can get used to sleeping in their own space while still feeling a sense of connection to their parents presence Also make sure you choose a crib that is able to fold easily for storage and transportation Some cribs can be transformed into a play yard or a larger bassinet This makes them a great choice for new parents who are keen to travel Tilt function A bedside sleeper also referred to as the bassinet is a piece of furniture attached to the side of a bed for adults One side is lower than the other to allow parents to access their infant at night It could also have a tilt function that can help ease reflux in infants Some parents report that this feature helps their children sleep better However it is important to note that a slanted or elevated sleeping surface could encourage your baby to roll into an unsafe chesttochin position This can cause suffocation and should be avoided The choice of a mattress is a further important factor to consider when choosing a bedside crib It should be flat firm and ventilated The mattress should be exactly the same size as the crib and fit comfortably into the frame It is recommended to buy a new mattress for your crib as a secondhand mattress can increase the risk of SIDS If possible it is recommended to purchase mattresses designed specifically for specific bed frames Some cribs for bedside use such as the Halo BassiNest are designed to be tucked under your bed in order to make space while bringing your child closer Some beds are too narrow to accommodate this kind of crib The BassiNests splayed legs make it difficult to slide underneath certain beds It isnt easy to tuck the BassiNest under divans which could cause it to move or move out of alignment with your mattress Other types of bedside bassinets such as the Ingenuity Sleep Grow Bedside Crib can be positioned next to your mattress however they arent able to be slanted CHOICE suggests parents use these beds with a comfortable firm mattress The tilting of a bassinet could cause your child to roll into a dangerous position increasing the

with digestive issues like colic or reflux It is important to use this feature with great care and at a very small angle to avoid the risk of suffocation If youre uncertain about whether to make use of this feature talk to your doctor or health visitor for advice Another crucial safety factor to consider when choosing a crib for a bedside is the mattress To minimize the risk of SIDS the mattress should be flat firm and breathable A mattress that is too firm can cause an obstruction in the airway of newborns which is dangerous A mattress that is breathable can help your child stay cool during the night which reduces the chance of overheating It is recommended that you place your baby in a secure sleeping space such as crib cot or Moses basket While it could be appealing to sleep with your
