Bedside Co-Sleeper - What is a Bedside Co-Sleeper?

A wooden bedside cot co-sleeper is a bassinet that is attached to the side of your mattress which lets you reach your baby during the middle of the night. This type of cosleeping has been recommended by the NHS as well as the Lullaby Trust as it allows you to keep your baby close and not risk SIDS.

Peace of Mind

Co-sleeping is a vital parenting decision. While some parents are concerned about the possibility that sleeping close to their child could increase the risk of SIDS, research like those conducted by NHS suggest that the opposite is true. Co-sleeping is sharing the same sleeping surface, which can increase the risk of SIDS. Bedside cots with co sleepers have been designed to provide an appropriate space between bed-sharing and separate sleeping areas, allowing a parent to be able to reach out over their child and effortlessly soothe them without leaving the safety of their own bed.

Babies sleep best when they are fed and reassured frequently, but exhausted parents can find it difficult to leave their beds to feed or comfort their children. The bedside travel crib sleeper gives parents to keep their baby close and not have to leave their bed. The innovative design of some co sleepers, like the SnuzPod also permits the four walls to slide down and transform the co-sleeper into a cradle that has an additional layer of protection that allows parents who are tired to keep an eye on their newborn while remaining in bed.

It is important to keep in mind that the chance of SIDS is increased when parents smoke (even with a co-sleeper) and when drinks or substances are consumed even in small amounts. Co-sleeping with children is not recommended if the parent has a history of sleeping through the night. The NHS recommends that babies sleep on their backs to limit the risk of suffocation and accidental rolling. A rocking Bedside Crib cot or bassinet is the most secure way to ensure this.

Safety

While co-sleeping is a common practice in a number of countries however, the NHS suggests that infants be in their own cots rather than sharing a bed. This is due to the higher risk of overheating and suffocation. When a baby is in bed with their parents are more likely covered by pillows, blankets or sheets. This could lead to SIDS. A bedside crib can be an ideal solution. The crib is located close to the parents, which prevents overheating or suffocation of the baby. It can be easily accessible for feedings at night and for comforting.

Parents across the globe were eagerly anticipating the Dutch cosleeping pod when it first became popular in 2004. They wanted to try safe cosleeping. Despite the enthusiasm and excitement, doctors aren't yet fully supportive of the idea of a sleeping cot that can be fixed to the side of a bed for an adult.

The primary concern is that a parent could roll onto the infant and cause strangulation or death. The risk of this is especially high if the parent is smoking, drinking alcohol or taking drugs during sleep. The risk of overheating, falling or even death are additional risks.

If you choose to purchase a bedside sleeper, it is essential that you choose one that meets the highest safety standards. The mattress must fit snugly without gaps and must not be susceptible to sliding. It is also important to be familiar with the recommended weight and the age of the person sleeping.

All new bedside beds must comply with a new safety standard that was introduced in November 2020 and replaces previous standards. There are still older models on sale in a few stores, but these are slowly disappearing as manufacturers move to the new safety standards.

If you opt for a second-hand model ensure that it is in good working order prior to purchasing it. Make sure the mechanism used to secure the bed to the parent's bed is robust and doesn't leave a gap. You should also ensure that the mattress fits within the sleeper without gaps or bulges. The sheets should also be snug enough that the baby won't get into a pocket and become trapped or choke.

Convenience

Many new parents experience the natural desire to be by their baby's side at night, however sleep experts such as Lullaby Trust recommend avoiding bed-sharing. A bassinet or bedside crib is a better option. They are made to be attached to the sides of parents' bed, allowing baby to be in reach for night time feeding and providing comfort. This allows parents to sleep well at night without leaving their bed.

Children who sleep in separate rooms are more likely to suffer breathing pauses (apnoea) and are more prone to SIDS. Research has found that babies sleep better when they are in close proximity to their parents. The fact that your child is a co-sleeper means that you are able to swiftly respond to any problems and reassure them, so they feel more at ease.

The best bedside cot bedside bassinet or crib for your family is dependent on many factors, including your location of your home and the plans for the future. For example, if you live with a partner or household member who may wish to use your bedside crib, it could be a good idea to consider convertible options that can grow into separate cribs or toddler beds as your child grows older.

A bedside cot could be a great option for new mothers who wish to keep their child close to them. When you purchase a bassinet or co-sleeper it is important to make sure that it complies with the Lullaby Trust and safe sleep guidelines.
