Safety
In line with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants are in the same room with their parents, cosleeping (a practice that is also known as bed-sharing) has gained popularity with a lot of new and expecting parents. The Academy states that room-sharing is safer than sleeping with an infant in the same bed as it lowers the chance of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy or SIDS. While the AAP disapproves of bed sharing but does recommend that sleeping with a partner be done on a separate sleep surface to limit the risk of SIDS. This is why the introduction of the bedside cosleeper was so important to many families.
A bedside cosleeper is a crib-like sleeper that is attached to an adult bed frame. The bedside cosleeper allows parents to easily monitor their child and gives them the freedom of a bed while keeping their child close to them. The top cosleepers are constructed using high-quality materials and adhere to stringent safety standards. Check for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) stamp of approval, which confirms rigorous testing of the product and quality control to ensure your child's safety cosleeping experience.
The security of a cosleeper for the bed depends on several factors, including how it is installed and secured to the parent's bed. If the bedside sleeper is not attached to the parent's bed in a way that blocks the gaps and spaces in which the infant can get trapped, it could pose an hazard of suffocation. It is crucial that the attachment system of a rocking bedside crib crib be examined to determine if it is able to withstand the forces that may be applied in the use of it, like the parent rolling on and off the sleeper, or 25-pound. The attachment system or corners on the bedside cosleeper must be tested against a horizontal force.
The voluntary standard for bedside rocking crib sleeping cribs is based on, the federal consumer product safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218), including specifications for the performance of closed openings. The requirements that are mandatory in the standard also address head and neck dangers of entrapment by insisting that following the application and release of 50-lb. The standard also requires that following the application and release of 50-lb. is not allowed to be created. The standard is not available for reading. can be obtained from ASTM's electronic Reading Room.
Convenience
While many parents have avoided cosleeping because of fears of suffocation, SIDS or the "Ferberization" process that requires children to sleep on their own Anthropologists have noted that mammals and primates as well as those in non-Western societies, regularly co-slept. This could be due to the fact that infants are calmed by the familiar voice of their mother and it may also help them practice self-soothing.
The best bedside cot bedside sleepers have an innovative design that is attached to the sides of any mattress and can swivel so that you can easily reach it for diaper changes or feedings in the middle of the night. Find a model with feet that can be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of mattresses. It should also include a large storage area for all of your baby's essentials.
Choose a bedside sleeper that is compatible with the standard crib bedding, so that it's safe to use as your child grows. Look for a model that is convertible and can be used as a play area or a more substantial bassinet. It will last for many years.
