Bedside Cosleeper

A bedside cosleeper is a bassinet which connects to the side of your adult bed. It's safe, so long as you adhere to the CSPC safety guidelines for infant sleeping spaces.

These guidelines are similar to the crib bedding standards. Learn more about the guidelines here. The most important factors to take into consideration when selecting the best bedside cots sleeper are Safety Comfort, Convenience, and Safety.

Safety

In line with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants sleep in the same room as their parents cosleeping (a practice that is also known as bed-sharing) is becoming popular among many expecting and new parents. The Academy says that sharing a room with a baby is safer than sleeping in the same bed with parents, as it reduces the risk of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). The AAP does not recommend bed-sharing however, it does recommend that co-sleeping on a separate sleeping surface is a good way to lower the risk of SIDS. The creation of the bedside crib was essential for many families.

A bedside cosleeper is a crib-like sleeper that can be attached to an adult bed frame. The bedside cosleeper helps parents keep an eye on the baby and gives them the freedom to sleep in their own bed. The most reliable cosleepers are made with high-quality materials and adhere to stringent safety standards. To ensure your child's safety, look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association stamp of approval. This is a sign of rigorous testing and quality control.

The safety of a cosleeper is contingent on a variety of factors. This includes how it's installed and secured onto the parent's mattress. If the bedside sleeper is not connected to the parent's bed in a manner that eliminates the gaps and spaces in which an infant can become trapped, it could be an hazard of suffocation. It is crucial that the attachment system of a bedside sleeper be tested to ensure that it can withstand the force that may be applied in the use of it, like a parent rolling onto and off the sleeper, or a 25-lb. The attachment system, or the corners of the cot bedside sleeper should be tested against an upward force.

The standard that is voluntary for bedside sleepers incorporates by reference to the federal consumer safety standard for bassinets and cradles (16 CFR part 1218), which includes requirements for performance for enclosed openings made of fabric. The standard's requirements for mandatory compliance deal with the risk of head and neck entrapment by requiring that, after the application and release the 50-lb. The standard also states that following the release and application of a 50-lb. is not allowed to be created. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard.

Convenience

Many parents avoid cosleeping because they fear the risk of suffocation, or SIDS, or because it is a "Ferberization", which forces children to sleep alone. Anthropologists have noted for years that a lot of mammals, primates, and people from other cultures sleep regularly. This is because babies are soothed by hearing the voice of their mother, and may also learn to soothe themselves.

The best bedside sleepers feature clever design that can be attached to the side of a bed and pivots to allow ease of access to feedings in the middle of the night or diaper changes. Look for one with feet that can be adjusted to retract to accommodate various mattress heights and a large storage space for all of your baby's necessities.

Choose a bedside sleeper that will fit standard crib bedding, so it will be safe to use as your child grows. You might also look into a convertible model that could transform into a play yard or a more deep bassinet for years of use. It folds easily for transport.

Portability

A bedside cosleeper with wheels or a base that is lightweight is much easier to move than one that has a heavy wooden frame or base. The babybay small bedside cot sleeper, HALO BassiNest Essentia and Snoo Smart Sleeper all come with amazing portability features. The adjustable feet that retract to accommodate platform beds; legs fold inward to ensure maximum proximity to the mattress and a sides made of 100% mesh to allow for ventilation without any fabric covering baby's mouth or nose.

The Arm's Reach ClearVue is another excellent option that can be adjusted in 1" increments to fit in most adult beds and can also serve as an portable bassinet. It also swivels, allowing for quick access to baby so that you can soothe and nurse her or check on her throughout the night.
