Bedside Baby Beds

Baby cribs that can be placed close to the bed allows parents to keep their child close during the night without risking safety. They are made for use by babies up until 4-6 months.

The Halo Bassinest is a swivel-over-the parent's bed with an end that can be pushed down so that parents can pick up their infant during nighttime feedings. However, the base won't fit under beds lower than 4.5 inches high.

Safety features

A bedside rocking crib crib lets parents keep their babies close for feedings at night, comforting and monitoring without leaving their own bed. This type of arrangement is ideal for mothers who are recovering from childbirth, or who have limited mobility. It could help parents stay rested throughout the night. However, it is important to evaluate safety features before purchasing a bedside baby bed.

The main safety issue for this type of sleep surface is that it is not an entirely secure barrier between the parent's bed and the infant's sleeping area, resulting in gaps that could lead to the risk of suffocation for infants. Additionally, sharing a bed with a child can increase the body heat of the parents and increases the risk of overheating, which could lead to SIDS.

While some manufacturers claim bedside co-sleepers are safer than cribs, they're not covered by the CPSC safety standards. They may feature the slats which allow babies' legs or heads to become trapped and their attachment mechanisms may be unstable, and could cause separation.

Furthermore, a lot of mattress frames contain loose bedding that could cause death. Babies lack the strength and coordination to free themselves from bedding that is soft. The gaps between the frame and the mattress can also create a suffocation risk. Some of these products also have an extremely hard bottom that could injure a baby when they fall on it. One user suggested that CPSC include pictograms in its warnings about these products, which will reduce the chances of caregivers missing key elements. Moreover, bedside sleepers must have an easy transition mechanism to prevent the baby from falling off the parent's bed.

Bedding

A bedside crib (also known as a bassinet or co-sleeper) allows infants to sleep beside their parents' beds, while maintaining a separate space. This type of safe co-sleeping reduces the risk of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping babies close to their parents.

Baby bedding to sleep on the bed could include crib sheets and bumpers. It can also include stuffed animals and blankets. Be sure that the bedding you select fits the bedside sleeping baby properly. This will stop pockets or bulges from blocking the baby's airway. Make sure the mattress you choose for your bedside sleeping baby is firm and fits tightly with no gaps around the edges.

If you're looking for bedding sets to keep your baby clean in case they fall or spill up during the night, select a set that is easy to wash and dries. Consider an item for travel to simplify the process of packing and unpack your bedside sleeping set while you're away on vacation or visiting grandparents.

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 you transition, make sure to move the crib away from the bed of your parent over several weeks or months so that your child can be comfortable sleeping in their own space while still being a part of their parents. Also, be sure to select a crib that can fold easily for storage and transport. Certain models can be transformed into a play area or a deeper bassinet. This makes them an excellent choice for parents who frequently travel bedside crib.

Tilt function

A bedside sleeper, also referred to as the bassinet, is a piece of furniture that is attached to the side of a bed for adults. One side is lower than the other side to let parents reach their child at night. It could also have a tilt function that can help alleviate reflux in infants. Some parents have reported that this feature can help their babies sleep better. It is important to remember that a slanted, or elevated, sleeping surface may encourage your baby's chin to the chest. This could result in suffocation and should be avoided.

Selecting a mattress that is suitable is another key factor when selecting a crib for your bed. It should be flat, firm and airy. The size should match the dimensions of the crib and be able to fit within the frame. It is recommended to purchase a new mattress for your crib, as a second-hand mattress can increase the chance of SIDS. Certain retailers sell mattresses that are designed specifically for specific bed frames, therefore it is recommended to use them if you can.

Some bedside sleeper cot cribs are designed to tuck under your bed in order to save space and bring your baby close, like the Halo BassiNest. However some beds are too low for this type of crib. The BassiNest's legs with splayed feet make it difficult to slide underneath certain beds. It may be difficult to place the BassiNest in a divan, and this could cause it to shift or rock out of alignment with your mattress.

Other cribs for bedside use, such as the Ingenuity Dream and Grow bedside cot 6 months plus Bassinet can be placed next to your mattress but are not capable of tilting. CHOICE suggests parents use these beds with a comfortable, firm mattress. Tilting a bassinet or bedside crib could encourage your baby to fall into a dangerous position which increases the risk of suffocation.

Foot-to-foot position

A bedside crib, also called a co-sleeper or a bassinet is a crib attached to the side of a bed for adults. This lets parents access their child easily throughout the night. These beds are typically larger than standard cots or bassinets. Some have an upper side that creates a short barrier between the sleeping spaces. They are typically made of sturdy materials, and many come with wheels that allow for easy transportation throughout the house.

Some cribs for twin bedside cot use tilt functions, which can help babies with digestive issues like colic or reflux. It's important to use the tilt feature with caution and at a moderate angle to prevent suffocation. If you're uncertain about whether to make use of this feature, talk to your GP or health visitor for advice.

The mattress is a further safety factor to consider when choosing a crib for your child's bedside. The mattress should be solid, flat and breathable to reduce the risk of SIDS. A mattress that is too soft could lead to a trapped airway, which is extremely dangerous for infants. A mattress that is breathable will aid your child in staying cool during the night, which reduces the risk of overheating.

It is recommended that you put your baby to bed in their own secure sleeping area - a crib, cot or Moses basket. While it might seem tempting to put your baby in a bed, this poses a serious risk of SIDS. It's best to wait until your baby is old enough to be able to sleep independently before attempting to co-sleep. If you need to, make sure your bedroom is not smoky to safeguard your baby from second-hand smoke. If you're living on a low income, you could be eligible for help with a crib or bassinet from Plunket.

Second-hand cribs

Parents looking to save money may be tempted by a second-hand bassinet, crib, or cradle that they get from a family member or friend. But, cribs are among of the most common causes of nursery-product related deaths particularly when older models have missing or damaged parts or have more space between slats (which could create suffocation dangers). In addition, older mattresses may develop dips and other issues that could pose danger to your child. If your crib is too old to meet current safety standards, it may be contaminated by lead paint or other toxic chemicals.

If you're thinking of buying a used crib, always look to see whether it's been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Verify if the crib has been coated with water-based paint since this is safer for babies. Be sure that the mattress is firm and that it fits snugly. Babies are prone to slip out of soft mattresses and also pose suffocation risks.

In addition to cribs, pay particular attention to any used bassinets, cradles and play yards. They must all be JPMA certified and have no sharp parts that your child can scratch or poke themselves on. Avoid adding toys, pillows, or blankets to these products. They could pose an dangerous for entrapment.

Infants have died from cribs that were altered or interfered with. Most of these incidents occurred when caregivers or parents attempted to make the cribs functional or more attractive by adding or altering items. Since 1973 crib makers and CPSC worked together to establish the standards that are mandatory for safe infant cribs. These standards addressed issues like side heights, slat spacings corner posts, mattress fits, and cutouts on end panels. In the past few years the number of crib-related deaths has decreased from 150 to 200 a year to 50.
