Bedside Cosleeper A bedside cosleeper is attached to your adult bed. It's safe as long as you follow the CSPC safety guidelines for infant sleeping spaces. These guidelines are very similar to crib bedding standards. Find out more about the guidelines here. The most important aspects to consider when selecting a bedside sleeper are: Safety Comfort, Convenience, and Safety. Safety In keeping 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) has become popular with many new and expecting parents. The Academy recommends that room-sharing with a baby is safer than sleeping in the same bed as a parent because it reduces the risk of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). While the AAP does not recommend bed sharing, it does recommend that cosleeping be done on a separate sleeping surface to reduce the risk of SIDS. The creation of the bedside crib was essential for a lot of families. bedside baby sleeper is a crib-like sleeper that is attached to an adult bed frame. bedside baby sleeper allows parents to monitor the baby and allows the baby the ability to sleep in their own bed. The most reliable cosleepers meet strict safety standards and are made using durable, high-quality materials. Check for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) stamp of approval, which indicates rigorous testing of the product and quality controls, to ensure your child's secure cosleeping experience. The safety of a bedside cosleeper is contingent on a variety of factors, including the manner in which it is put up and connected to the parent's bed. It is essential that the bedside sleeper be connected to the mattress of the parent in a way that does not create gaps and spaces where an infant could be trapped. This could result in the risk of suffocation. It is crucial that the attachment system of the bedside sleeper be tested in order to ensure that it can withstand any forces that may be applied during use, such as the parent rolling on and off the sleeper. The attachment system, or the corners on the bedside cosleeper should be tested against a horizontal force. The voluntary standard for bedside cribs incorporates, as a reference to the federal consumer product safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218) and the requirements for performance for closed fabric openings. The mandatory requirements in the standard also address neck and head entrapment hazards by insisting that following the application and release of 50-lb. horizontal force at the attachment systems and at the corners of the bedside sleeper, a gap that is greater than 1.0 in. cannot be created. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard. Convenience Many parents do not allow cosleeping because they fear suffocation or SIDS or because it's an act of “Ferberization” that forces children to sleep on their own. Anthropologists have observed for a long time that a lot of mammals, primates, and people from non-Western cultures cosleep regularly. This could be due to the fact that infants are calmed by the familiar voice of their mother and it can also help them practice self-soothing. The top bedside sleepers have a smart design that attaches to the side of a bed and can be swiveled for ease of access to feedings in the middle of the night or diaper changes. Find one with feet that are adjustable and retract to accommodate different mattress heights and a large storage space for all of the necessities for your baby. Choose a bedside sleeper which fits the standard crib bedding so that it can be used safely as your child grows. Consider a model that is convertible and can be used as a play yard, or a deeper bassinet. It will last for many years. Portability Depending on the size of your bedroom a bedside sleeping system with wheels and/or a light base could be more convenient to move around the house than one that has a heavy wood frame or massive base. The Babybay Bedside Sleeper, HALO BassiNest Essentia and Snoo Smart Sleeper are all equipped with excellent portability features. Adjustable feet retract to accommodate platforms and the legs fold inward to ensure maximum proximity to the mattress and sides made of 100% mesh to let airflow without fabric covering the 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, allowing the baby to be easily accessible to comfort, nurse or check on her during the night.
