Bedside Baby Beds

Baby cribs that are placed next to the bed allow parents to keep their baby close during the night without compromising the safety of their child. They are designed specifically for newborns and can be used until 6 to 4-6 months.

The Halo Bassinest swivels over the parent's bed and has a push-down side that allows parents to scoop their baby up for middle-of-the-night feedings. However, the base won't be able to fit under beds less than 4.5 inches high.

Safety features

A bedside baby bed allows parents to keep their babies close for feedings at night, comforting and monitoring, without having to leave their own bed. This sleep arrangement is ideal for mothers who are recovering from childbirth or those who are unable to move around. It can help parents remain more relaxed throughout the night. However, it is important to look at safety features before purchasing a bedside baby bed.

The primary safety concern with this type of sleeping surface is that it is not a complete barrier between the parent's bed and the infant's sleeping area which can lead to gaps that could cause dangers of suffocation to infants. Additionally sharing the bed with an infant increases the body heat of the parent and raises the risk of overheating, which could lead to SIDS.

While some manufacturers claim bedside crib travel cot co-sleepers are safer than traditional cribs, these devices do not meet CPSC's safety standards. They could have slats that permit the baby's legs or head to be trapped, and their attachment mechanisms could be unstable and lead to separation.

Many of these surfaces also have bedding that is loose that could cause suffocation. Babies lack the strength or coordination required to remove themselves from the tangles of soft bedding, and gaps between the mattress and the frame could cause a danger of suffocation. Some of these items have a hard base that could cause injuries to a child if they fall on it. One user suggested that the CPSC include pictograms in warnings to these products. This could lower the risk that caregivers miss key elements. Moreover, bedside sleepers should have an easy transition mechanism that can keep the baby from falling off the bed of their parents.

Bedding

A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or a co-sleeper lets babies sleep beside their parents' beds, while having an individual sleeping space. This method of co-sleeping that is safe reduces the risk of suffocation, entrapment, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by keeping babies close to their parents and within arms' reach for middle-of-the-night feedings or comforting.

Baby bedding for a sleeper beside the bed can include crib sheets and bumpers. It can also include blankets and stuffed animals. Be sure that any bedding you choose to use is suitable for the bedside sleeper to avoid bulges or pockets that might impede the baby's breathing. Also, make sure that the mattress you buy for your bedside sleeper is firm and fits snugly without 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 infant has accidents or spits up in the night. You may also want to consider a travel kit for your child's bedside sleeper so that you can easily carry it around when you go on family vacations or visit your grandparents' homes.

When your baby is no longer a bedside sleeper you can transition your child to a crib, or a toddler that is on its own. When transitioning, make sure to remove the crib from the bed of your parent over several months or weeks so that your infant can get used to sleeping in their own space, while still being a part of their parents' presence. Also, be sure to select a crib that can fold up easily for storage and transportation. Some cribs can be converted into a play yard or deeper bassinet. This makes them a perfect choice for new parents who are keen to travel.

Tilt function

A bedside crib travel sleeper, also referred to as bassinet, is a bassinet connected to the bed's side for adults. One side is lower than the other to enable parents to access their infant at night. It could also have an adjustable tilt feature that can help ease reflux in infants. Some parents have reported that this feature helps their children sleep better. It is important to remember that a slanted, or elevated, mattress can encourage your baby's chin to chest position. This could lead to the suffocation of your baby and should be avoided.

A good mattress is a key factor in choosing the crib for your child's bed. It should be firm and flat, as well as airy. The mattress should be similar to the size of the crib and fit snugly into the frame. A second-hand mattress could increase the risk of SIDS, so it is recommended that you purchase an entirely new crib mattress. If you can, it is recommended to purchase mattresses designed specifically for specific bedframes.

Some bedside cribs are designed to tuck under your bed to save space and keep your baby close, such as the Halo BassiNest. Some beds are too low to accommodate this type of crib. Additionally, the BassiNest's legs with splayed feet make it difficult to slide underneath certain beds. It is also a challenge to place it under a divan bed which could cause it to rock or shift out of alignment with the mattress.

Other types of bedside cribs like the Ingenuity Dream & Grow bedside cot crib Bassinet, can be set up beside your mattress, but aren't capable of tilting. CHOICE recommends parents to use these beds with a firm, breathable mattress. A bassinet that is tilted or placed next to a crib could encourage your baby to roll into an unsafe position which increases the risk of the possibility of suffocation.

Position of foot-to-foot

A bedside crib, also called a co-sleeper or bassinet, is a small crib that can be attached to the sides of an adult's bed. This allows parents to access their child with ease throughout the night. These beds are usually larger than traditional bassinets or cots. Some have a lower edge, which creates a barrier between the sleeping areas. They are usually constructed of sturdy materials, and some have wheels for easy transport around the home.

Some bedside cribs have a tilt function that can aid children with digestive issues such as colic or reflux. It's important to use the tilt feature with care and at a moderate angle to prevent suffocation. Talk to your doctor or health visitor if you are unsure whether to use the feature.

Another important aspect to consider when choosing a bedside crib is the mattress. The mattress should be smooth, firm and breathable, to lower the risk of SIDS. A mattress that is too firm can result in obstruction of the airway in newborns, which is dangerous. A mattress that is breathable can help your child remain cool at night, reducing the risk of overheating.

It's recommended that you put your baby to sleep in a secure sleeping area - such as a crib, cot or Moses basket. Although it may be appealing to sleep with your baby in a bed, this is a major risk of SIDS. It is recommended to wait until your baby is old enough to go to bed independently before you attempt to sleep with them. If you have to, make sure that your bedroom is smoke-free in order to protect your child from secondhand smoke. If you're on a low income, you could be eligible for help with a crib or bassinet from Plunket.

Second-hand cribs

Parents who want to save money could be enticed by a used crib, bassinet or cradle they receive from a relative or friend. Cribs are among the nursery items that could lead to death, especially when older cribs are damaged or missing parts or have a wider space between the slats. Additionally, older mattresses can develop dips and other issues that could pose danger to your baby. If your crib is not old enough to meet the current safety standards, it may be contaminated with lead paint or have other harmful chemicals.

If you are considering purchasing a used crib, look to see if it has been recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It's also recommended to verify whether the crib was painted with water-based paint which is much safer for infants than oil or phthalic paint. Also, ensure that the mattress is sturdy and snugly fits. Babies are prone to slip off mattresses that are soft as well as present a risk of suffocation.

Pay particular attention to second-hand bassinets and cradles and play yards. They should all be JPMA certified and have no sharp parts that your baby can scratch or poke at. Avoid putting pillows, blankets or toys to these items which could create dangers for entrapment.

Children have died in cribs that had been tampered with or modified and most of the incidents were caused by caregivers and parents who tried to make the cribs more useful or attractive by adding things or modifying them in some way. Since 1973, crib makers and the CPSC have worked together to establish standards that are mandatory for cribs that are safer, and have addressed things like side heights, slat spacing, mattress fit, corner posts and cutouts in end panels. In the last few years, the number of crib-related deaths has decreased from 150 to 200 a year to around 50.
