Choosing Between a Baby Bedside Co Sleeper and a Bassinet

New parents face many options when it comes to baby sleep. Some parents are considering co-sleeping (which the AAP recommends against due to the risk of suffocation) Others prefer the comfort of having their child at arm's reach for middle-of-the-night feedings and diaper changes.

A baby bedside co sleeper is a great alternative to a bassinet or crib that is attached to the side of the parent's bed for safe, convenient access. The MFM home testers loved the stylish and functional look of this product.

Safety

The bedside co-sleeper, sometimes called a sidecar, is a secure option for baby sleep that allows babies to sleep with their parents without the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It's a part of rooming-in, a method used in hospitals that helps newborns establish a bond with their parents or mom while they're still learning to self-soothe to sleep. When choosing a solution for sleep parents should consider the advantages and disadvantages of both bedside co sleepers and regular bassinets.

The most important aspect of a baby bedside co sleeper is safety. Find models with strong frames that are breathable, with no loose parts that could present an choking risk. Consider models that can be washed to make cleaning easy. Make sure that the bed is firm and flat, with no blankets or pillows. This will decrease the chance of suffocation.

Another important safety factor is whether the unit can be easily accessible from the parent's bed. This allows for easier nighttime feedings, and a better surveillance of the baby as they sleep. Some bassinets are so far away from the parents' bed that they require a step to reach the sleeping area.

Proximity to the parents is a different factor to take into consideration when choosing a bedside co sleeper vs bassinet. Some parents prefer a co-sleeper because of the close physical connection it offers, while other parents are concerned about the possibility of suffocation and rolling off that comes with bed sharing. Some of the top-rated bedside sleepers, such as the babybay bedside co sleeper and the Snoo smart sleeper are designed to remove the concerns by using the wood-slat design, which resembles the cribs in which infants were born and a swaddle sack that prevents the infants from moving around during their sleep.

If you're considering co-sleeping but aren't sure about the risks, consider an option like the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper. This bassinet co-sleeper creates an environment that is safer for co-sleeping by attaching directly to your bed. It also comes with an elongated barrier so that you can see your baby and reach him.

Comfort

No matter what type of sleeper you choose it's crucial to ensure that your baby can sleep comfortably. It's important to make sure that the crib is level and firm, with no gaps between your baby's mattress and the sleeping surface. Some rocking bedside crib co sleepers use soft or fluffy padding that could put your infant at risk of SIDS. This is why we recommend using a mattress protector to stop any gaps or sagging.

Another important feature to consider is the breathability. The models we reviewed include mesh sides that are breathable mesh that lets your baby breathe while remaining safe. Several other models, such as the Baby Delight and HALO BassiNest Essentia, also offer excellent ventilation.

A final consideration is whether or not your bedside mattress includes a tilt feature which is beneficial for infants with problems with digestion or reflux. Some of the top sleepers we found, like the HALO Swivel BassiNest Sleeper 3.0 have a slight tilt that could help your baby while minimizing the chance of suffocation and falling.

Some parents prefer a bassinet attached to the bed while others prefer a sleeper that is attached to the bed. These models are attached directly to the parent's mattress, making it easy to reach the baby for feedings or to snuggle in the middle of the night. travel cot bedside sleepers can also be used as the method of rooming-in, also known as co-sleeping. This decreases the chance of sudden infant death syndrome, and helps parents and their babies to be close.

In the end, it's down to each family to decide what's best for them. We hope that this guide has been helpful as you search for the ideal baby bedside sleeper for your baby. To stay clear of any dangers, whether you choose a bassinet or a bedside co-sleeper, make sure to adhere to the AAP's safe sleeping guidelines. Good luck!

Design

The cribside baby co-sleeper (also called a sidecar co-sleeper or bassinet) is a safe alternative for traditional cribs that allow parents to sleep in a safe environment with their newborn. It attaches to the side of the bed a parent sleeps in and creates an extension of their mattress, where babies can easily be reached for feeding and sleeping. This kind of room-sharing reduces the risk for SIDS and other risks for infants as well as makes it much easier to monitor the baby.
