Bedside Cosleeper

A bedside cosleeper is a bassinet that is attached to the side of your adult bed. As long as you adhere to the CSPC guidelines for infant sleeping spaces, it's safe.

These guidelines are similar to the crib bedding standards. You can read more about these guidelines here. The most important factors to consider when choosing a bedside rocking crib sleeper are: Safety Comfort, Convenience, and Safety.

Safety

In accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants are in the same room as their parents, cosleeping (a practice also referred to as bed-sharing) has gained popularity among many expecting and new parents. The Academy states that room-sharing with a baby is more secure than sleeping in the same bed as a parent because it reduces the risk of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). The AAP doesn't recommend bed sharing but it does suggest that co-sleeping on a separate sleeping surface is a good option to lower the risk of SIDS. This is why the development of the bedside cosleeper was important to many families.

A bedside sleeper is attached to a bed frame designed for adults. It's similar to a crib sleeper. The bedside cosleeper allows parents to monitor the baby, and also gives the baby the ability to sleep in their own bed. The most reliable cosleepers meet strict safety standards and are made using durable, high-quality materials. Check for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) stamp of approval, which indicates rigorous product testing and quality control, to ensure your child's secure cosleeping experience.

The safety of a cosleeper is contingent on a variety of factors. This includes the way it's put in place and secured to the mattress of the parent. If the bedside cosleeper isn't connected to the bed of the parent in a way that prevents the gaps and spaces in which the infant can get trapped, it could create the risk of suffocation. It is essential that the attachment system of a bedside crib be examined to determine if it can withstand the force that might be imposed in the use of it, like the parent rolling on and off the sleeper, or a 25-lb. horizontal force applied to the attachment system or the corners of the bedside cot sale Cosleeper (Chessdatabase.Science).

The voluntary standard for bedside sleepers includes by reference to the federal consumer safety standard for products such as bassinets and cradles (16 CFR part 1218) and includes requirements for performance for fabric-sided enclosed openings. The requirements that are mandatory in the standard also address head and neck dangers through requiring that after the application and release of 50-lb. The standard also stipulates that following the application and release of 50-lb. 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 forces children to sleep alone, anthropologists have long noted that mammals and primates, as well as people living in non-Western societies, frequently coslept. This is due to the fact that babies are soothed when they hear the voice of their mother, and may also learn to soothe themselves.

The best bedside sleepers have an innovative design that is attached to the side of a mattress and swivels so you can easily access it for feedings or diaper changes in the middle of the night. Choose one with feet that are adjustable and retract to accommodate various mattress sizes, and a big storage space for all of your baby's needs.

Choose a bedside sleeper that is compatible with standard crib bedding, so it will be safe to use as your child grows. Look for a model that is convertible and can be used as a play yard or a bassinet that is deeper. It will last for a long time.

Portability

Depending on the size of your bedroom, a bedside sleeper with wheels and/or a light base could be more convenient to move around your home than one with frames made of wood or a massive base.
