Bedside Cosleeper A bedside cosleeper attaches to your adult bed. If you stick to the CSPC guidelines for sleeping spaces for infants It's safe. These guidelines are similar to crib bedding standards. Read more about the guidelines here. The most important features to consider when choosing the best bedside sleeper are Safety as well as comfort and convenience. Safety In accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants sleep in the same bed with their parents cosleeping (a practice also referred to as bed-sharing) has become popular among many expecting and new parents. The Academy says that sharing a room with a baby is more secure than sleeping in the same bed with a parent because it reduces the risk of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). While bedside baby bed does not recommend bed sharing but does recommend that sleeping with a partner be done on a separate sleeping surface to limit the risk of SIDS. This is the reason why the creation of the bedside cosleeper was crucial for many families. A bedside cosleeper is a crib-like sleeper that attaches to an adult bed frame. The bedside cosleeper lets parents to keep an eye on their baby and gives parents the freedom of an adult bed while keeping their baby close by. The top cosleepers are constructed with high-quality materials and adhere to stringent safety standards. Check for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) stamp of approval, which demonstrates rigorous product testing and quality control, to ensure your child's secure cosleeping experience. The safety of a bedside sleeper depends on several aspects that include the way it is set up and connected to the parent's bed. If the bedside cosleeper isn't attached to the parent's bed in a way that prevents the gaps and spaces in which an infant can become trapped, it could be a suffocation hazard. It is essential that the attachment system of a bedside cosleeper be tested to ensure that it can withstand the force that might be imposed in the use of it, like a parent rolling onto and off the sleeper, or a 25-lb. horizontal force applied to the attachment system or to the corners of the bedside cosleeper. The standard for bedside sleeping cribs incorporates, as a reference to the federal consumer product safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218) which includes specifications for the performance of closed openings. The requirements that are mandatory in the standard also address head and neck dangers through insisting that following the application and release of 50-lb. horizontal force near the attachment systems and at the corners of the bedside sleeping device, gaps greater than 1.0 in. must not be created. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard. Convenience While many parents have avoided cosleeping due to fear of suffocation SIDS or the “Ferberization” process that requires children to sleep alone Anthropologists have noted that mammals and primates as well as those in non-Western societies, regularly coslept. This is because babies are soothed when they hear the voice of their mother, and may also learn to soothe themselves. The best bedside sleepers have clever designs that are attached on the side of any mattress and swivels so you can easily access it for feedings or diaper changes during the middle of the night. Choose one with adjustable feet that retract to accommodate various mattress sizes and a huge storage compartment for all the necessities for your baby. Select a bedside sleeper that fits the standard crib bedding so that it can be used in a safe manner as your child grows. You may also want to look into a convertible model that can transform into a play yard or a more deep bassinet for a long time of use. It folds easily to travel. Portability Based on the size of your bedroom, a bedside sleeper with wheels and/or a lightweight base could be easier to move around your home than one that has an imposing wood frame or substantial base. The babybay bedside sleeping system, HALO bassiNest essencetia, as well as Snoo Smart Sleeper are all portable. They come with feet that can be adjusted that can be retracted to accommodate platform mattresses and legs that fold up so that they are in close proximity to the mattress; and 100 mesh sidewalls for ventilation without covering the baby's nose or mouth. The Arm's Reach ClearVue is another popular option that adjusts in 1” increments to fit in most adult beds and can also be used as a portable bassinet. It also swivels to give you quick access to the baby to comfort her, nurse her, or monitor them at night.
