Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

It is recommended to keep the newborn twins close together however, you must adhere to safety sleep guidelines. Selecting the best crib arrangement will aid in the development of a consistent sleep routine.

A double bassinet that has a divider is a great option for twins. These beds can be used as portable beds to let parents keep their babies near for feedings in the middle of the night and diaper changes. These beds are also great for babies who may outgrow their baby bassinets by the time they reach toddlerhood.

Space-Saving

Twins can sleep side-by-side in a bedside cot provided you adhere to the safe guidelines for sleeping (that's to say they should be laid on their backs, with the tops of their heads overlapping each other and feet at opposite ends of the cot). Once they are big enough, they can also sleep together in a Moses Basket or a regular crib.

We are in love with this Delta double bassinet. It features a mesh partition so that babies can stay separate, yet close to each other. It also has a storage pocket for wipes and snacks. It is also foldable, making it easier to move around the house and take on trips.

This EZ Fold Twin Bassinet, available at Walmart can swivel so that you can bring your twins who are fussy closer to you to feed them and soothe them. The sides can be raised or lowered for easy access, and are locked in place for security. It's a little heavier and longer than other options, but it's perfect for second floors or grandparent' houses, and it comes with a travel bag. It's also less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

It is not recommended that parents of twins put their babies in the same bassinet or crib. Instead, the group Rednose recommends that twins be given their own secure sleeping space (crib or bassinet or portable crib) in the parent/caregiver's room until they reach 12 months old in order to reduce the risk of SIDS. This arrangement is also known as co-bedding, and it has been proven that twins who are used to this sleep environment will typically have a more synchronized sleeping pattern than twins who sleep in separate rooms.

One of the most efficient ways to make this work is with a twin bedside cot like the Teknum FELLOW 2 which comes with two separate bedding sets, so that each baby can have a personal and comfortable space. The bedside cot can be easily moved from one room to another as needed. It is an easy and convenient way to monitor your baby without disturbing their sleep patterns or awakening them.

Other alternatives include double bassinets specially designed to allow infants to remain side-by-side and are perfect for mid-night feeding or changing diapers. The Halo Bassinest Twin has a mesh panel that is breathable and adjustable in height to allow each infant to be easily accessible and visible at all times. The sides of the sleeper adjust to lower and raise for quick access. Walmart's Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet which is a more affordable alternative, has two sleeping zones that are separated by a mesh panel, permitting babies to view each other. The sleeper also swivels around 360 degrees, allowing easy access to the infants.

For temporary situations, such as an unexpected family visit or hospital stay Parents have reported success with co-bedding twins in a large moses basket or small bassinette with divider. This should only be done under the supervision of by a medical professional. They will ensure that the infants are correctly placed on their feet placed at the foot of the crib, and all bedding is tucked into.

Safety

The most important security feature for twins is that they have their own bed. This will prevent the baby from being smothered, choked or otherwise choking by the other. This also helps avoid the death of a cot, which is more frequent in infants who are single than in multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins, triplets and higher-order multiples get their own space to sleep in. The best way to do this is with a separate bassinet or twin bedside cots for newborns cot that can be brought up close to your bed when you feed or soothe one of the babies throughout the night.

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

Parents of twins might not adhere to current SIDS risk reduction recommendations because of a desire to extend their own sleep time and a lack of space to accommodate multiple cribs in the home. Additionally, the socioeconomic status of a family can influence their decisions about the arrangement of their sleep.

If twins are placed in a small Moses basket or crib, their bedding can easily be pulled together and they could choke on eachother. If you're planning to sleep your twins in the same cot it is important to put them in the position of feet-to-head and with their bedding tucked securely into the cots to reduce the possibility of them colliding with each other.

A bedside cot bed bassinet, such as the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the safest and more convenient alternatives for twins who wish to sleep in a separate bed. This double bassinet features mesh walls that separate twins so that they each have their own secure, flat sleep surface. It can be swiveled 360 degrees, so you can bring your child closer to you without leaving your bed. The walls on the sides automatically lower and then return with each movement. It's also easy to clean and fits in a standard twin bed frame. If you're looking for a less expensive alternative, look into the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet, which is available at Walmart and comes with similar features as the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

Welcoming twins or multiples to the world is an enormous life-changing. They also require a great deal of planning and consideration regarding their sleeping arrangements and how they can get a good sleep. While decisions regarding their bedroom space can be taken as they age parents often ask what they can do to help them to settle in the early stages.

When twins are still young, it is possible to share a cot. Co-bedding is a method of soothing newborns by bringing them back to their mother's womb. The most important thing is to ensure that the beds are large enough to allow the infants to be comfortable without touching or bouncing around. It is also important to keep in mind that the baby who wakes first must be fed. It can be helpful to co-ordinate night feeds to ensure that you wake one of them up earlier than the other.

It is crucial to keep in mind that twins are quite different and could have their own sleep routines. It could be that one child wakes more than the other, or that they prefer to be nearer to you. In this instance it is possible to give each twin their own bassinet or crib.

Look for twin bedside cots with breathable mesh dividers for separate sleeping areas. This is essential for babies who are at risk of heat stroke or families whose moms have had a c-section. Other useful features include an adjustable base, built-in storage for toys and blankets, and easy-to-maneuver wheels. The Arm's Reach cot, specifically designed for mothers with c-sections is a fantastic choice because it offers a huge sleeping space and is easy to move. Other options are the Graco Pack 'n Play and the Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel but they offer a smaller sleeping area than the Arm's Reach cot.

Even if they're very close, it is not recommended to let twins share the bed with an adult. This can increase the risk of SIDS and result in strangulation or suffocation. Instead the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins have their own secure sleeping areas, like bassinets or cribs, in their parents' rooms for the first six months.
