Bedside Baby Beds

Baby cribs that can be set close to the bed allows parents to keep their baby close at night, without risking safety. They are designed for newborns and are suitable for use up to 6 to 4-6 months.

The Halo Bassinest swivels over the bed of the parent and has a push-down side that allows parents to scoop up their newborn for feedings in the middle of the night. The base will not fit under beds that are lower than 4.5" high.

Safety features

A crib at bedside allows parents to monitor, soothe, and feed their babies at night without having leave their bed. This type of arrangement is ideal for new mothers recovering from childbirth or with limited mobility and may help parents stay relaxed throughout the night. It is nevertheless important to evaluate safety features before purchasing a bedside baby bed.

The main safety issue with this type of sleeping surface is that it's not an entirely secure barrier between the bed of the parent and the baby's sleeping space which can lead to gaps that could cause suffocation risks to young infants. Additionally, sharing the bed with an infant increases the body heat of the parent and raises the chance of overheating which can contribute to SIDS.

While some manufacturers claim bedside co-sleepers are safer than traditional cribs, they do not meet the safety standards of the CPSC. These products can have slats that permit babies' legs or heads to be trapped. Their attachment mechanisms may be unstable, leading to separation.

Many of these surfaces have bedding that is loose, which can lead to suffocation. Babies do not have the muscle or coordination to free themselves from entanglement in soft bedding, and the gaps between the mattress and the frame could create a suffocation hazard. Some of these products have a tough base that could cause injuries to a child if they fall on it. One commenter suggested that the CPSC include pictograms as warnings to these products. This would decrease the likelihood that caregivers miss key elements. Sleepers at the bedside need an easy transition system that prevents the baby from falling off the parent's mattress.

Bedding

A bedside crib (also called a co-sleeper or bassinet) lets babies sleep beside their parents' beds while still occupying a separate space. This safe form of co-sleeping helps reduce the risk of suffocation as well as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping children close to their parents.

Baby bedding for a baby who sleeps at night could include crib sheets bumpers, blankets, and toys. Make sure the bedding you select fits the baby's bed properly. This will prevent pockets or bulges from obstructing the baby's airway. Make sure the mattress you purchase for your bedside sleeping baby is firm and fits tightly without gaps around the edges.

If you're looking for a bedding set that will keep your baby clean in the event that they have accidents or spit up during the night, select a set that is easy to clean and dry. You may also want to think about a travel bag for your sleeper at night, so you can easily take it out and back when you travel cot bedside with your family or visit your grandparents' homes.

If your child has outgrown their bedside sleeper, you are able to transition them to a standalone toddler or a crib. When transitioning, make sure to move the crib away from the bed of your parent over several weeks or months so that your child can get used to sleeping in their own space, while still being a part of their parents' presence. Pick a crib that is able to be folded for storage and transportation. Some models can even be converted to a play yard or deeper bassinet. This makes them a great choice for parents who travel often.

Tilt function

A bedside sleeper is a bassinet that attaches to the side of a bed for adults and has one side lower than the other which allows parents to reach out to care for their child during the night. It could also come with a tilt function that can help ease reflux in infants. Many parents report that this feature helps their children sleep better. It is important to remember that a slanted or elevated, sleeping surface could stimulate your baby's chin into a chest position. This could lead to suffocation and should be avoided.

The choice of a mattress is a different aspect to consider when choosing a large bedside cot crib. It should be firm, flat and breathable. The size should correspond to the dimensions of the crib and be able to fit in the frame. It is recommended to purchase a new mattress for the crib, as a second-hand mattress can increase the risk of SIDS. If you can, it's best bedside cots to buy mattresses that are made specifically for specific bed frames.

Some bedside cribs are designed to fit under your bed to save space and bring your child close, such as the Halo BassiNest. Some beds are too narrow to accommodate this kind of crib. In addition, the BassiNest's legs with splayed feet make it difficult to slide under some beds. It is also difficult to slide it under a divan bed which can cause it to rock or shift out of alignment with the mattress.

Other bassinets for bedside use such as the Ingenuity Sleep & Grow Bedside Crib, can be placed close to your mattress but they cannot be slanted. CHOICE suggests parents use these beds with a comfortable, firm mattress. The tilting of a bassinet could cause your child to slide into a risky position, increasing their chance of dying.

Position of foot-to-foot

A bedside crib, also called a co-sleeper or a bassinet is a crib that is attached to a side of a bed for adults. This allows parents to access their child easily throughout the night. These beds are generally larger than the traditional cots and bassinets, and some even have a an upper side that creates an unintentional separation between the sleeping spaces. These beds are made from sturdy materials and most have wheels to make them easier to move around the home.

Some cribs with a bedside have a tilt feature that can aid babies suffering from digestive issues such as reflux or colic. It's important to use the tilt function with caution and at a moderate angle to avoid the risk of suffocation. If you're uncertain about whether you should utilize this feature, speak to your doctor or health care professional for guidance.

The mattress is an additional safety factor to consider when choosing a crib for your child's bedside. The mattress should be firm, flat and breathable, to lower the risk of SIDS. A mattress that is too firm could cause obstruction of the airway in infants, which can lead to danger. A mattress that is breathable can help your child remain cool at night, reducing the chance of overheating.

It is recommended to place your baby in a secure sleeping area - crib, cot or Moses basket. While it could be tempting to put your child in a bed, this could be a risky way to get SIDS. It is recommended to wait until your baby is old enough to be able to sleep independently before you attempt to sleep with them. If you have to, make sure that your bedroom is smoke-free in order to protect your child from second-hand smoke. Plunket can assist with a bassinet or a crib in the event that you are a low-income parent.

Second-hand cribs

Frugal-minded parents may be tempted to purchase or take a second-hand bassinet, crib or cradle for a gift from a relative or friend. Cribs are just one of the nursery items that could lead to death, especially if older cribs have broken or missing parts, or have a wider space between the slats. In addition, older mattresses may develop dips and other conditions that could pose danger to your child. If a crib is not old enough to meet current safety standards, it may be contaminated with lead paint or other toxic chemicals.

Examine if the crib has been recalls on the crib. It is also a good idea to check whether the crib has been painted with water-based paint, which is much safer for infants than oil or phthalic paint. Also, ensure that the mattress is firm and secure. Babies can easily slide off mattresses that are soft as well as present a risk of suffocation.

In addition to cribs, pay close attention to any used bassinets, cradles or play yards. All of them must be JPMA-certified and free of sharp edges that could hurt or poke your baby. Avoid putting blankets, pillows or toys to these products that could become entrapment hazards.

Infants have died in cribs that were altered or played with. Most of these incidents occurred when caregivers or parents tried to make the cribs functional or more attractive by adding or modifying things. Since 1973, crib makers and the CPSC have collaborated to set mandatory standards for cribs that are safer, and have addressed issues like side height, slat spacing, corner posts, mattress fit and cutouts in end panels. In the past few years the number of crib-related deaths has dropped from 150 to 200 a year to just 50.
