Bedside Cosleeper A bedside cosleeper attaches to your adult bed. If you stick to the CSPC guidelines for infant sleeping spaces it's secure. These guidelines are similar to crib bedding standards. Find out more about the guidelines here. When selecting a bedside sleeping device security, comfort and convenience are the main factors to consider. Safety Many new parents and expecting mothers have chosen to cosleep, also known as bed-sharing, in line with the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that infants should be in the same room as their parents. The Academy states that room-sharing with a baby is less risky than sleeping in the same bed with a parent because it reduces the chance of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). While the AAP discourages bed-sharing but does recommend that sleeping with a partner be done on a separate sleep surface to limit the risk of SIDS. This is why the development of the bedside cosleeper became so important to many families. A bedside cosleeper can be described as a crib-like sleeper that can be attached to an adult bed frame. The bedside cosleeper helps parents keep an eye on their baby and allows the baby the ability to sleep in their own bed. The top cosleepers adhere to strict safety standards and are constructed 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 control, to ensure your child's safe cosleeping experience. The safety of a bedside cosleeper depends on several aspects, including the manner in which it is put up and attached to the parent's bed. It is crucial that the bedside cosleeper be connected to the mattress of the parent in a way that does not create gaps and spaces, where the infant may be trapped. This could pose an entrapment risk. It is essential that the attachment system of a bedside crib be tested to ensure that it can withstand the force that may be applied in the use of it, like parents rolling onto and off of the sleeper or 25-pound. The attachment system, or the corners on the bedside cosleeper must be exposed to a horizontal force. The voluntary standard for bedside sleeping cribs is based on, the federal consumer product safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218) which includes performance requirements for fabric-sided closed openings. The standard's mandatory requirements also address the danger of head and neck traps by requiring after application, and release the 50-lb. bedside cot used requires that following the release and application of 50 pounds. It is not allowed to create a gap larger than 1.0 in. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard. Convenience While many parents have avoided cosleeping for fear of suffocation, SIDS or the “Ferberization” process that forces children to be in a room by themselves, anthropologists have long noted that mammals and primates and people who live in non-Western societies, have regularly co-slept. This may be because infants are soothed by the familiar voice of their mother and it also helps to practice self-soothing. The best bedside sleepers come with an innovative design that is attached to the sides of any bed and can be swiveled for 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 sizes and a huge storage space for all of your baby's needs. Select a bedside sleeper that is compatible with the standard crib bedding to be used in a safe manner as your child grows. You might also think about a convertible model that can transform into a play yard or a more deep bassinet to last for years of use. It folds easily to travel. Portability A bedside cosleeper that has wheels or a light base is much easier to move than one that has a heavy wooden frame or a substantial base. The babybay bedside sleeping system, HALO bassiNest essencetia, as well as Snoo Smart Sleeper are all portable. They come with adjustable feet that retract to fit platform mattresses and legs that fold up so that they are in close proximity to the mattress; 100 mesh sidewalls for ventilation without covering the baby's mouth or nose. 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 to allow easy access to your baby so you can comfort, nurse or check on her throughout the night.
