Safety features

A bedside baby bed (click here to find out more) lets parents keep their infants close for nighttime feedings, comforting, and monitoring, without having to leave their bed. This sleeping arrangement is perfect for mothers who are recovering from birth or for those with limitations in mobility. It may also help parents to sleep better at night. However, it is important to evaluate safety features before purchasing a bedside baby bed.

The primary safety concern with this type of sleep surface is that it's not a complete barrier between the bed of the parent and the infant sleeping area and can result in gaps that could lead to suffocation risks to young infants. In addition, sharing the bed with an infant can increase the body heat of the parents and increases the risk of overheating which could lead to SIDS.

Although some manufacturers claim that bedside co-sleepers are safer than cribs, they are not covered by the CPSC safety standards. These cribs may have slats which allow babies' legs or heads to become caught. The mechanisms for attachment could be unstable, resulting in separation.

Furthermore, a lot of mattresses have loose bedding that can cause suffocation. Babies aren't strong enough or have the coordination to untangle themselves from soft bedding. There are gaps between the mattress and frame can also pose a suffocation risk. Some of these items have a hard base that could cause injury to a child if they fall on it. One commenter suggested that CPSC include pictograms on its warnings about these products, which would reduce the chances of caregivers not knowing the most important elements. bedside co sleeper cot sleepers must have an easy transition system that stops the baby from falling off the parent's bed.

Bedding

A bedside crib (also known as a bassinet or co-sleeper) allows babies to sleep next to their parents' beds, but still having their own space. This type of safe co-sleeping reduces the risks of suffocation, entrapment, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by keeping infants close to their parents and within arm's reach for feedings during the night or comforting.

Baby bedding to sleep in the bed can include crib sheets and bumpers. It could also include stuffed animals and blankets. Be sure that any bedding you choose to use is suitable for the bedside sleeper to avoid bulges or pockets that could obstruct the baby's breathing. Make sure the mattress you purchase for your bedside sleeping baby is sturdy and secure without gaps around the edges.

If you're looking for a bedding set that will keep your baby clean in the event that they fall or spill up during the night, select a set that is simple to wash and dry. You may also want to think about a travel bag for your child's bedside sleeper to make it easy to carry it around when you travel with your family or visit grandparents' homes.

If your child has outgrown their bedside sleeper, you are able to change them to a stand-alone toddler or a crib. When transitioning to a crib, take it away from the bed of your parents over a period of weeks or months so that your child can learn to sleep in his own space but still feel connected to them. Pick a crib that is able to be folded up for storage and transport. Some models can be converted into a play yard, or a deeper bassinet. This makes them a great option for parents who travel often.

Tilt function

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

Selecting a mattress that is suitable is a further important factor to consider when it comes to choosing a crib for your bed. It should be flat, firm and airy. The size should match the dimensions of the crib and fit snugly within the frame. It is recommended to buy a new mattress for your 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 choose those if you can.

Some bedside cribs, like the Halo BassiNest, are designed to be tucked under your bed to make space while bringing your child closer. Some beds are too low to be able to accommodate this type of crib. The feet that are splayed out of the BassiNest make it difficult to slide underneath certain beds. It isn't easy to tuck the BassiNest under a divan, which could cause it to shift or move out of alignment with your mattress.

Other cribs for bedside use such as the Ingenuity Dream and Grow Bedside Bassinet can be set up beside your mattress, but aren't in a position to tilt. CHOICE recommends that parents only use these beds when they have a sturdy and breathable mattress. The tilt of a bassinet can encourage your child to fall into a dangerous position, increasing their danger of suffocation.

Position of foot-to-foot

A bedside crib, also called a bassinet or co-sleeper is a crib attached to the side of a bed for adults. This allows parents to easily access their child during the night. These beds are usually larger than the traditional cots or bassinets. Some have a lower edge that creates an obstacle between the sleeping areas. These beds are constructed from solid materials and have wheels that make them easier to move around the house.

Some cribs for bed have tilt features that can help babies who suffer from digestive issues like colic or reflux. It is important to use this feature with great care and at a small angle to avoid being suffocated. If you're uncertain about whether you should utilize this feature, speak to your doctor or health care professional for guidance.

The mattress is a further safety consideration to make when selecting a crib to be your child's large bedside cot. To minimize the risk of SIDS, the mattress must be flat, firm and ventilated. A mattress that's too soft can cause a blocked airway in newborns, which is dangerous. A breathable mattress can also aid your child in staying cool during the night, which reduces the risk of overheating.

It is recommended to place your baby in a safe sleeping space - crib, cot for bedside, or Moses basket. Although it may be tempting to sleep with your child in a bed, this could be a risky way to get SIDS. It is recommended to wait until your baby is old enough to be able to sleep independently before attempting to co-sleep. If you must ensure that your bedroom is not smoky to shield your baby from smoke from other rooms. Plunket can assist with a bassinet or crib in the event that you are a low-income parent.

Second-hand cribs

Parents who are financially savvy may be enticed to purchase or take a second-hand crib, bassinet or cradle for a gift from a family member or friend. Cribs are just one of the baby products that could cause death, especially when older cribs are damaged or missing parts, or have larger spaces between the slats. In addition, older mattresses may develop dips and other issues that could pose danger to your baby. If your crib is old enough to predate current safety regulations it may be contaminated by lead paint and could contain other toxic chemicals.

If you're considering buying purchasing a crib that is used, look to see whether it's been recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Make sure the crib was painted with water-based paint, as this is safer for babies. Ensure that the mattress is firm and that it fits comfortably. Mattresses with soft edges can cause babies to slip out and present a risk of suffocation.

In addition to cribs, pay particular attention to used bassinets, cradles, and play yards. They should all be JPMA certified and have no sharp parts that your child could scratch or poke themselves on. Avoid adding pillows, blankets or toys to these items that could become dangers for entrapment.

Infants have been killed in cribs that had been tampered with or altered and the majority of incidents were caused by caregivers and parents who attempted to make the cribs more useful or attractive by adding items or modifying them in some way. Since 1973, crib makers and the CPSC have worked together to establish mandatory standards for safer cribs, addressing things like side heights, mattress fit, corner posts and cutouts on end panels. In the last few years, the number of crib-related deaths has decreased from 150-200 per year to around 50.
