Bedside Baby Beds Baby cribs that can be set next to the bed allow parents to keep their baby close at night, without any risk to safety. They are designed for newborns and can be used up to 6 to 4-6 months. The Halo Bassinest is able to rotate over the bed of the parent and comes with a push-down feature that allows parents to take their newborn baby in for middle-of-the-night feedings. However, the base won't fit under beds that are less than 4.5 inches high. Safety features A bedside baby bed lets parents keep their babies close for feedings at night, comforting and monitoring without leaving their own beds. This arrangement of sleep is perfect for new mothers recovering from childbirth, or who are unable to move around. It can help parents stay rested throughout the night. However, it is important to evaluate safety features before purchasing a bedside baby bed. This type of mattress presents a safety hazard because it doesn't provide an adequate barrier between the sleeping area of the parent as well as the infant's sleeping space. This could lead to gaps that could pose dangers of suffocation to infants. Additionally sharing a bed with an infant can increase the body heat of the parents and increases the risk of overheating which can contribute to SIDS. Although some manufacturers claim that bedside co-sleepers are safer than cribs, they are not required to meet the CPSC safety standards. They could have slats that allow the baby's legs or head to be snagged and their attachment mechanisms can be unstable, and could cause separation. Many of these surfaces have loose bedding, which can lead to the risk of suffocation. Babies aren't strong enough or have the coordination to free themselves from soft bedding. The gaps between the mattress and frame can create a suffocation risk. Some of these items have a hard base that could cause injuries to a baby should they fall on it. One commenter suggested the CPSC include pictograms in warnings to these products. This will decrease the likelihood that caregivers miss key elements. Sleepers at the bedside need an easy transition system to prevent the baby from sliding off the parent's mattress. Bedding A bedside crib, also known as a bassinet or a co-sleeper lets babies sleep beside their parents' beds while maintaining an individual sleeping space. This method of sleeping in a safe manner reduces the chance of suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping children close to their parents. Baby bedding to sleep in the bed can include crib sheets and bumpers. They can also include stuffed animals and blankets. Make sure the bedding you choose fits the baby's bed properly. This will stop pockets or bulges from blocking the baby's airway. 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 a set that is easy to wash and dry to keep it clean when your infant has accidents or spits in the night. Consider the possibility of a travel kit that will make it easier to pack and unpack your bedside sleeper while you're away on vacation or visiting grandparents. If your child has outgrown their bedside sleeper, you are able to move them to a separate toddler or crib. When you transition, make sure to move the crib away from the parent's bed over several months or weeks so that your infant can be comfortable sleeping in their own space, while still feeling a sense of connection to their parents. Be sure to select a crib that you can fold up easily for storage and transport. Some cribs can be converted to play yard or a larger bassinet. This makes them a great option for parents who are new and love to travel. Tilt function A bedside sleeper, also known as bassinet, is a piece of furniture attached to the side of a bed for adults. One side is lower than the other to enable parents to access their infant at the end of the night. It could also have a tilt function that can aid in easing reflux in babies. Some parents have found that this feature helps their baby sleep more comfortably. It is important to keep in mind 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. Choosing a suitable mattress is another key factor when choosing a bedside crib. It must be firm, flat and ventilated. The size should match the dimensions of the crib and be able to fit in the frame. A second-hand mattress could increase the chance of SIDS, so it is recommended to purchase an entirely new crib mattress. Some retailers offer mattresses made specifically for specific bed frames, so it is best to use them if you can. Some cribs for bedside use, such as the Halo BassiNest, are designed to be tucked away under your bed in order to maximize space while bringing your child closer. However, some beds are too low for this type of crib. The splayed feet of BassiNest make it difficult to move underneath some beds. It isn't easy to secure the BassiNest underneath a divan, which could cause it to shift or rock out of alignment with your mattress. Other cribs for bedside use like the Ingenuity Dream and Grow Bedside Bassinet can be placed next to your mattress but are not in a position to tilt. CHOICE suggests parents use these beds with a firm, breathable mattress. A bassinet that is tilted or placed next to a crib could cause your child to slide into a risky position, increasing the risk of suffocation. bedside cot newborn -to-foot positioning A bedside crib, also called a bassinet or co-sleeper, is a small crib that is attached to the side of a bed for adults. This allows parents to access their child at any time during the night. These beds are typically larger than the traditional cots and bassinets, and some have an upper side that creates a short barrier between the sleeping spaces. They are constructed of solid materials and have wheels that make them easier to move around the home. Some cribs for bed have tilt features that can help babies who suffer from digestive issues such as colic or reflux. It is essential to use the tilt feature with caution and at a moderate angle to avoid the risk of suffocation. Talk to your doctor or health care professional if are unsure about using the feature. The mattress is a further safety factor to consider when selecting a crib to be your child's bedside. The mattress must be firm, flat and breathable to reduce the risk of SIDS. A mattress that is too soft can lead to a trapped airway, which can be dangerous for newborns. A mattress that is breathable can aid your baby in staying cool during the night, which can reduce the risk of overheating. It is recommended that you put your baby to bed in their own secure sleeping space, such as such as a crib, cot or Moses basket. While it could be tempting to put your baby in a bed, it could be a risky way to get SIDS. Wait until your baby can be able to sleep on his own before trying to sleep with them. If you must ensure that your bedroom is not smoky to shield your child from second-hand smoke. If you're on a lower income, you might be eligible for help with a bassinet or crib from Plunket. Second-hand cribs Parents looking to save money might be enticed by a secondhand bassinet, crib, or cradle that they acquire from a relative or friend. But, cribs are among of the main causes of death due to nursery products, especially when older ones are damaged or missing parts or wider spaces between slats (which could lead to suffocation risks). Additionally, older mattresses could create dips and other conditions which could be dangerous for your baby. And if a crib is old enough to be predated by the safety guidelines in place, it could be tainted by lead paint, and could contain other harmful chemicals. Verify if the crib has been recalls on the crib. It's also an excellent idea to determine whether the crib has been painted with water-based paint which is much safer for infants than phthalic or oil paint. Additionally, make sure the mattress is sturdy and snugly fits. Babies can easily slide off mattresses that are soft and also could pose a danger of suffocation. Pay special attention to second-hand bassinets and cradles, and play yards. All of them should be JPMA-certified, and free of sharp edges that could scratch or poke your baby. Avoid putting pillows, toys or blankets to these products. They can become entrapment hazard. Infants have died in cribs that were altered with or modified and most of the incidents were caused by caregivers and parents who tried to make the cribs more functional or attractive by adding items or altering them in a way. Since 1973, crib makers and the CPSC collaborated to create standard requirements for safer cribs for infants. These standards addressed issues like side heights, slat spacings, mattress fits, corner posts and cutouts on the end panels. As as a result, deaths from cribs have dropped from around 150 to 200 per year to around 50.
