Bedside Cosleeper
A bedside cosleeper is a bassinet that is attached to the side of your adult bed. It's safe, so long as you follow the CSPC safety guidelines for sleeping spaces for infants.
These guidelines are similar to crib bedding standards. You can read more about these guidelines here. The most important features to consider when choosing the right bedside sleeper are Safety Comfort, Convenience, and Safety.
Safety
In accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants sleep in the same bed as their parents cosleeping (a practice that is also known as bed-sharing) has become popular among many expecting and new parents. The Academy says that sharing a room with a baby is more secure than sleeping in the same bed with a parent because it reduces the chance of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). While the AAP discourages bed-sharing however, it does recommend that co-sleeping be done on a separate sleeping surface to limit the risk of SIDS. The development of the bedside crib was essential for a lot of families.
A bedside cosleeper can be described as a crib-like sleeper that attaches to an adult bed frame. The bedside cosleeper lets parents keep an eye on the baby and gives them the option of sleeping in their own bed. The best cosleepers are built with high-quality materials and adhere to strict safety standards. To ensure your child's safety ensure that you look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association stamp of approval. This is a sign of rigorous testing and quality control.
The safety of a bedside sleeper depends on several factors that include the manner in which it is put up and attached to the parent's bed. If the bedside cosleeper is not connected to the bed of the parent in a way that prevents the gaps and openings where an infant can become trapped, it could create an hazard of suffocation. It is essential that the attachment system of a large bedside cot crib be examined to determine if it can withstand the force that might be imposed in use, such as the parent rolling on and off the sleeper, or a 25-lb. The attachment system, or the corners of the bedside sleeper should be tested against the horizontal force.
The standard for bedside beds incorporates by reference the federal consumer safety standard for bassinets and cradles (16 CFR part 1218) and includes performance requirements for enclosed openings made of fabric. The standard's requirements for mandatory compliance tackle the issue of head and neck traps by requiring after application, and release a 50-lb. horizontal force at the attachment systems and corners of the bedside sleeper, a gap larger than 1.0 in. cannot be created. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard.
Convenience
While many parents have avoided cosleeping for fear of suffocation, SIDS or the "Ferberization" process that forces children to sleep on their own Anthropologists have long observed that the majority of mammals and primates as well as those in non-Western societies, regularly cosleep. This may be because infants are comforted by the familiar voice of their mother, and it may also help to practice self-soothing.
The best bedside sleepers feature a clever design that attaches to the sides of any mattress and swivels so you can access it easily for diaper changes or feedings in the middle of the night. Find a model with feet that can be adjusted to accommodate different mattress sizes. It should also include an ample storage area to store all of your baby's essentials.
Select a bedside rocking crib sleeper that fits the standard crib bedding to be used in a safe manner as your child grows. Look for a model that is convertible and can be used as a play area or a more substantial bassinet. It will last for many years.
Portability
A bedside cosleeper that has wheels or a light base is more portable than one that has a heavy wooden frame or base. The babybay bedside sleeper, HALO bassiNest essencetia and Snoo Smart Sleeper are all portable. They come with adjustable feet that retract to fit platforms and legs that fold inward so that they are in close proximity to the mattress; and 100 mesh sidewalls for ventilation without fabric covering baby's nose or mouth.
The Arm's Reach ClearVue is a top choice. It adjusts in 1" increments and can be used as a bassinet, or a portable bed. It also swivels to allow for quick access to baby so that you can soothe your baby, nurse or monitor her during the night.
