Bedside Baby Beds

Baby bedside cribs let parents keep their infant close to them at night without compromising safety. They are specifically designed for infants and can be used up to 4-6 months.

The Halo Bassinest swivels over the bed of the parent and has a push-down side that allows parents to scoop up their newborn for middle-of-the-night feedings. The base cannot be placed under beds that are less than 4.5" high.

Safety features

A bedside crib lets parents keep their babies close to them for nighttime feedings, comforting, and monitoring, without having to leave their sleeping arrangements. This arrangement of sleep is perfect for mothers who are recovering from childbirth or with limited mobility and may help parents stay well-rested throughout the night. It is nevertheless important to evaluate safety features before buying a bedside crib.

The main safety concern with this type of sleeping surface is that it is not an entirely secure barrier between the parent's bed and the baby's sleeping space which can lead to gaps that could lead to suffocation risks to young infants. Sharing a bed can increase the body heat of the parent and could increase the risk of overheating. This could lead to SIDS.

While some manufacturers claim bedside co-sleepers are safer than traditional cribs, they aren't subject to the CPSC's safety standards. They may have slats that permit the baby's head or legs to become stuck. The mechanisms for attachment could be unstable, resulting in separation.

A lot of these surfaces have loose bedding which could lead to the risk of suffocation. Babies don't have the strength or coordination to remove themselves from the tangles of soft bedding, and gaps between the frame and the mattress can cause a danger of suffocation. Some of these items have a hard base that could cause injury to a baby should they fall onto it. One commenter suggested that the CPSC include pictograms in warnings to these products. This could lower the risk that caregivers miss key elements. Additionally, bedside sleepers should have an easy transition mechanism that can keep the baby from falling off the parent's bed.

Bedding

A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet) lets babies sleep beside their parents' beds while still occupying a separate space. This method of sleeping in a safe manner helps reduce the risk of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping babies close to their parents.

Baby bedding for a sleeper at night can include crib sheets, blankets, bumpers and stuffed animals. Make sure that the bedding you choose to use fits the bedside sleeper properly to avoid pockets or bulges that might impede the baby's breathing. Make sure that the mattress you choose for your sleeping baby is sturdy and secure without any gaps around the edges.

When selecting a bedding set, look for one that is easy to wash and dry to keep it clean when your baby has accidents or spits up in the night. Consider a travel cot bedside crib kit to make it easier to pack and take your bedside sleeper out of the bag when you're to visit grandparents or on vacation.

If your baby has outgrown the bedside sleeper, it is possible to transition him or her 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 to let your child become comfortable sleeping in his own space but still feel a sense of connection to them. Also, be sure to choose a crib that is able to fold easily for storage and transportation. Some cribs can be converted to play yard or a larger bassinet. This makes them an excellent choice for parents who frequently travel.

Tilt function

A bedside sleeper, also referred to as a bassinet, is a piece of furniture that is attached to the bed's side for adults. One side is lower than the other side to allow parents to reach their baby at night. It could also have an adjustable tilt feature that can aid in easing reflux in infants. Some parents find this feature can help their child sleep better. However it is crucial to note that a sloped or elevated sleeping surface can cause your child to fall into a dangerous chin-to-chest posture. This could result in suffocation and should be avoided.

Selecting a mattress that is suitable is a further important factor to consider when choosing a bedside co sleeper cot crib. It must be flat and firm as well as ventilated. The size should be in line with the dimensions of the crib and be able to fit within the frame. It is recommended to purchase an entirely new mattress for the crib since a second-hand one can increase the risk of SIDS. Some retailers offer mattresses made specifically for specific bed frames so it is best to use those if you can.

Some 4-in-1 bedside crib cribs are designed to be tucked under your bed to save space and keep your baby close, such as the Halo BassiNest. However some beds are too low for this kind of crib. The splayed feet of the BassiNest make it difficult to slide under some beds. It can be difficult to secure the BassiNest underneath a divan, and this could cause it to shift or move out of alignment with your mattress.

Other cribs for bedside use like the Ingenuity Dream & Grow Bedside Bassinet, can be set up beside your mattress, but they aren't in a position to tilt. CHOICE advises parents to only use these beds with a comfortable, firm mattress. The tilting of a bassinet can encourage your child to roll into a risky position, increasing the chance of dying.

Foot-to-foot position

A bedside crib, also called a bassinet or co-sleeper, is a small crib that is attached to the side of a bed for adults. It allows parents to reach their child easily throughout the night. These beds are typically larger than standard cots or bassinets, and some have an upper side that creates a short barrier between the sleeping spaces. They are usually constructed from durable materials, and many have wheels to make it easy to move throughout the home.

Some cribs with a bedside have a tilt feature that can help babies who suffer from digestive issues, such as reflux or colic. It is important to use the tilt function with care and only at a small angle to prevent suffocation. Talk to your doctor or health professional if you are unsure about using the feature.

Another important safety consideration when choosing a crib for a bedside is the mattress. To decrease the risk of SIDS, the mattress needs to be flat, firm and breathable. A mattress that is too firm can result in a blocked airway in newborns, which can be dangerous. A breathable mattress can also aid your child in staying cool during the night, which reduces the chance of overheating.

It is recommended to place your baby in their own safe sleeping space - a crib, cot or Moses basket. It could be tempting to share a bed as your infant however this could cause SIDS. Make sure your baby is able to sleep independently before attempting to sleep together. If you are able to, ensure that your bedroom is smoke-free to ensure your child is safe from second-hand smoke. If you're on a low income, you might be eligible for assistance with a bassinet or crib from Plunket.

Second-hand cribs

Parents who are financially savvy may be enticed to buy or accept an old crib, bassinet or cradle for a gift from a family member or friend. However, cribs are one of the main causes of death due to nursery products especially if they have damaged or missing parts or if they have wider spaces between slats (which could create suffocation dangers). Mattresses that are older can also develop dips and other issues that can be dangerous for your child. If your crib is older than the safety guidelines in place it may be contaminated by lead paint and could contain other harmful chemicals.

If you're considering buying a used crib, always look to see if it has been recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It is also recommended to verify whether the crib was painted with water-based paint, which is much safer for infants than phthalic or oil-based paint. Also, ensure that the mattress is sturdy and snugly fits. Mattresses that are soft can cause infants to fall out, and they also pose a suffocation risk.

Pay special attention to second-hand bassinets and cradles as well as play yards. They must all be JPMA certified, and have no sharp parts that your child can scratch or poke at. Avoid adding toys, pillows or blankets to these products. They can become dangerous for entrapment.

Children have died in cribs that were altered or tampered with. Most of these incidents occurred when caregivers or parents tried to make the cribs functional or more attractive by incorporating or altering things. Since 1973, crib makers and the CPSC have collaborated to establish mandatory standards for cribs that are safer, and have addressed things like side height, slat spacing, mattress fit, corner posts and cutouts in end panels. As a result, crib-related deaths have dropped from about 150-200 per year to less than 50.
