Bedside Baby Beds Baby cribs in bed allow parents to keep their infant close at night without compromising on safety. They are made for use by babies up to 4-6 months old. The Halo Bassinest can be swiveled over the bed of the parent and features a push-down side that lets parents scoop their baby up for middle-of-the-night feedings. The base will not fit under beds that are less than 4.5” high. Safety features A bedside crib allows parents to keep their babies close for evening feedings, comforting and monitoring, without having to leave their bed. This sleep arrangement is ideal for new mothers recovering from childbirth or with limited mobility and may help parents remain more well-rested throughout the night. It is nevertheless important to consider safety features prior to buying a bedside crib. This type of sleep surface presents a safety hazard because it does not provide an adequate barrier between the parent's sleeping area as well as the infant's sleeping space. This can lead to gaps that can cause dangers of suffocation to infants. Sharing a bed can increase the body heat of the parent and can increase the risk of overheating. This can lead to SIDS. Although some manufacturers claim that bedside co-sleepers are more secure than traditional cribs, these devices do not meet CPSC's safety guidelines. They may include slats that allow a baby's legs or head to be caught. Their attachment mechanisms may be unstable, resulting in separation. Many of these surfaces also have loose bedding that could cause the possibility of suffocation. Babies aren't strong enough or have the coordination to untangle their bodies from the soft bedding. Gaps between the frame and the mattress can create the risk of suffocation. Some of these items have a hard bottom that could cause injury to a baby should they fall upon it. One user suggested that the CPSC add pictograms as warnings to these products. This could decrease the likelihood that caregivers overlook crucial elements. Bedside sleepers need to have a smooth transition system that prevents the baby from sliding off the parent's bed. Bedding A bedside crib (also called a bassinet or co-sleeper) allows infants to sleep beside their parents' beds while still occupying a separate space. This safe form of co-sleeping helps reduce the chance of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping infants close to their parents. Baby bedding for a bedside sleeper could include crib sheets, bumpers, blankets, and stuffed animals. Be sure that the bedding you choose is suitable for 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 in search of a bedding set that will keep your baby clean in the event that they fall or spill up in the night, choose something that is simple to wash and dries.

If your baby has outgrown the bedside sleeper, you can move your child to a crib, or a toddler that is all on its own. When transitioning to a crib, move it away from the bed of your parents over the course of weeks or months so that your child can become comfortable sleeping in their own space, but remain connected to them. Pick a crib that is able to be folded up to be stored and transported. Some models can be converted into a play yard or a more substantial bassinet. bedside co sleeper cot makes them a great option for parents who are new and like to travel. Tilt function A bedside sleeper, also known as the bassinet, is a bassinet that is attached to the bed's side for adults. One side is lower than the other side to allow parents to reach their child at night. It could have tilt features that help alleviate reflux in babies. Some parents feel this feature helps their child sleep more comfortably. However, it is important to keep in mind that a sloped or elevated sleeping surface could cause your child to fall into a dangerous chest-to-chin position. This could result in death and should be avoided. A mattress that is suitable for your child is crucial in deciding on a crib for your child's bed. It must be flat and firm and ventilated. The mattress should be the same size as the crib and fit snugly into the frame. It is recommended to buy a new mattress for your crib, as a second-hand mattress can increase the risk of SIDS. Certain retailers sell mattresses that are designed specifically for specific bed frames, so it is best to stick with them if you can. Some cribs that are bedside, such as the Halo BassiNest, are designed to be placed under your bed in order to make space while bringing your baby closer. Some beds are too narrow to be able to accommodate this type of crib. The splayed feet of BassiNest make it difficult to slide under certain beds. It's also a challenge to place it under a divan bed which can cause it to slide or sway out of alignment with the mattress. Other cribs for bedside use, such as the Ingenuity Dream and Grow Bedside Bassinet can be placed next to your mattress but are not capable of tilting.

This allows parents to easily access their child during the night. These beds are generally larger than standard cots or bassinets, and some have an lower part that creates an unintentional barrier between the sleeping spaces. They are constructed of sturdy materials and most have wheels that make them easier to move around the home. Some cribs for bed have tilting features that help babies who suffer from digestive issues, such as reflux or colic. But, it's crucial to utilize this feature with extreme care and at a very gentle angle to avoid the risk of being suffocated. Consult your physician or health professional if you aren't sure whether you should use the feature. Another important aspect to consider when choosing a bedside crib is the mattress. The mattress must be solid, flat and breathable to minimize the risk of SIDS. A mattress that is too firm could cause obstruction of the airway in newborns, which is dangerous. A breathable mattress will also aid your baby in staying cool throughout the night, which can lower the risk of overheating. It is recommended that you place your baby in a safe sleeping area – a cot, crib or Moses basket. Although it may be tempting to sleep with your child in a bed, it poses a serious risk of SIDS.

Second-hand cribs Parents looking to save money might be tempted by a used crib, bassinet or cradle they receive from a relative or friend. Cribs are just one of the nursery products that can cause death, particularly if older cribs have damaged or missing parts, or have larger spaces between the slats. Older mattresses can also develop dips or other conditions that are dangerous for your child. And if a crib is old enough to be predated by the safety guidelines in place it may be contaminated by lead paint and could contain other toxic chemicals. If you're thinking of buying purchasing a crib that is used, be sure to check whether it's been recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It's also a good idea to check whether the crib has been painted with water-based paint which is safer for babies than phthalic or oil-based paint. Make sure the mattress is firm, and that it fits snugly. Soft mattresses can cause babies to slip off, and they also can pose a danger of suffocation. Be especially cautious of used bassinets and cradles and play yards. They should all be JPMA certified and have no sharp elements that your baby can scratch or poke themselves on. Avoid adding pillows, blankets or toys to these items which could create dangerous entrapment risks. Children have died in cribs that were altered or interfered with. Most of these accidents occurred when caregivers or parents tried to make the cribs more functional or more attractive by adding or altering things. Since 1973 crib makers and the CPSC have worked together to create the standards that are mandatory for safe infant cribs. These standards addressed things like side heights, slat spacings corner posts, mattress fits and cutouts for end panels. As a result, crib-related deaths have dropped from about 150 to 200 deaths per year to around 50.
