Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

It's best to keep twins who are just born close to each other, but you should also adhere to safety sleep guidelines. A proper crib arrangement can help your twins establish an established routine for sleeping.

A double bassinet that has a divider can be a great choice for twins. These portable beds allow parents to keep their babies close for diaper changes and feedings at night. They are also ideal for babies who may outgrow their bassinets before 2 years old.

Space-Saving

If you follow the safe sleeping guidelines, twins can sleep in a crib that is bedside cot wooden side-by-side. They should be positioned on their backs with their heads in a straight line and their feet on the opposite ends. They can also sleep together in a Moses basket or a regular crib when they're old enough.

This Delta double bassinet features a mesh divider that allows babies to be separated, but still close. It also comes with a storage compartment for snacks and wipes. Plus, it folds flat making it easy to move around the house or go on trips.

This EZ Fold Twin Bassinet, available at Walmart is swivelling to allow you to bring your twins closer to you to feed them and soothe them. The sides are lowered and raised for access, and they lock into place for safety. It's a bit bigger and heavier than other options but is great for the second floor or homes for grandparents. It also comes with a travel bag. It's also a lot less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

Parents of twins might be enticed to sleep the babies together in one crib or bassinet, this is generally not recommended. Rednose suggests that twins have their own secure sleeping area (crib or portable crib or bassinet) in the room of the caregivers/parents until they reach 12 months to reduce the risk for SIDS. This arrangement is also known as co-bedding and it has been observed that twins who have been accustomed to this sleep environment will often form a more synchronized sleep pattern than those who sleep on their own.

One of the most efficient ways to make this work is to use twin bedside cots, like the Teknum FELLOW 2, that comes with two separate bedding sets so each baby has a personal and comfortable space. This bedside cot is able to easily be moved from room to room as required, and allows you to monitor the baby without needing to wake them by re-entering their sleep zone or disrupting their routines.

Other options include double bassinets, specially designed to allow the infants to be side-by-side, and are perfect for mid-night feeding or changing diapers. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, features an air-tight mesh partition and adjustable height so that each child can be seen and reached throughout the night, and the sides of the sleeper lower and raise to give easy access. Walmart's Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet which is a more affordable alternative, comes with two sleep zones that are separated by a mesh, allowing babies to see each other. The sleeper can also rotate around 360 degrees to give an easy access for infants.

Many parents have found that co-bedding twins with moses baskets, or a small bassinette, can be a good solution for situations that are temporary, like hospital stays or a family visit. This should only be done with the supervision of a healthcare provider. They will ensure that the infants are correctly placed on their feet at the bottom of the crib and all bedding tucked in.

Safety

When twins sleep together, the most important security feature is that each baby has his or her own space to sleep in. This ensures that every infant isn't smothered, or trapped by the other. It also helps prevent the death of a cot, which is more frequent with single infants than multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that triplets, twins and higher-order multiples get their own sleep space. This can be achieved with an additional bassinet, or a twin bedside crib you can bring up to your bed to feed or comfort one of the babies during the night.

While the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to reduce the risk of SIDS by encouraging room sharing and discouraging cobedding, many families of multiples and twins find it difficult to adhere to these guidelines (1). In a previous study it was found that the majority of twin families that co-bedded their children in the beginning of their life at home engaged in unsafe sleep practices.

Parents of twins may not adhere to current SIDS risk reduction recommendations due to a desire to increase their own sleep duration and the inability to accommodate multiple cribs in the home. Additionally the socioeconomic status of a family could influence their choices regarding the arrangement of their sleep.

If twins are positioned together in a crib or Moses basket, they can easily become entangled by their bedding and could choke on each other. If you decide to put your twins in the same cot ensure they are placed in a position in which their feet are close to their heads and their bedding is tucked into each cot for bedside with a secure. This will reduce the chance of them choking on each other.

A bassinet for bed, such as the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the safer and easier options for twins who want to sleep separately. The double bassinet comes with an enclosed mesh wall that can separate twins and provide them with their own flat, safe mattress to sleep on. It can be turned 360 degrees, so you can bring your baby bedside co sleeper closer to you without leaving your bed. The side walls automatically lower and then return with each movement. It is also easy to clean and fits into the standard twin-sized bed frame. Take a look at the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet at Walmart. It has the same features to the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

Being welcomed by twins or multiples to the world is a major life altering. Not least, they require a lot of planning and consideration regarding their sleeping arrangements and how they can get a good night's sleep. While the decisions regarding their future bedroom space are made when they are older parents are often unsure of how they can help their children get comfortable in the early stages.

It is possible for twins to share a cot if they are small. Co-bedding is a method for comforting newborns by bringing them back to their womb. It is important to ensure that the beds are big enough for babies to feel comfortable without touching or bouncing around. It is also important to keep in mind that the baby who awakes first needs to be fed. It is helpful to coordinate nighttime feeds so that you can get one of them up earlier than the other.

It is crucial to keep in mind that twins are very different and they might develop their own sleep routines. You may find that one baby is waking more than the other or they prefer to be closer to you. In this case it is possible to give each twin their own crib or bassinet.

Look for twin bedside cot co sleeper cots with breathable mesh dividers to create separate sleeping areas. This is especially important for babies more prone to overheating or families with c-section moms. A reversible base as well as wheels that are easy to maneuver are also helpful features. The Arm's Reach cot, specifically designed for mothers who have a c-section is a fantastic choice due to its large sleeping area and is easy to move. The Graco Pack 'n Play or Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel are also options, but offer a smaller sleeping space than the Arm's Reach cot.

Even if they're extremely close, it's not recommended that twins share a bed with an adult. This increases the risk of SIDS, and may result in suffocation strangulation, or entrapment. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins should be in their own bassinets or cribs in the parents' room for the first six months.
