Bedside Baby Beds Baby cribs for bedside use allow parents to keep their infant close at night without compromising on safety. They are designed for newborns and can be used until 4 to 6 months. The Halo Bassinest can be swiveled over the parent's bed and has a push-down side that lets parents scoop their baby up for middle-of-the-night feedings. But, the base won't be able to fit under beds less than 4.5 inches high. Safety features A bedside crib lets parents keep their babies close for evening feedings, comforting and monitoring without leaving their beds. This sleep arrangement is ideal for new mothers recovering from childbirth or those who are unable to move around. It can also help parents stay more rested throughout the night. It is crucial to think about safety features when purchasing an infant crib. This type of sleep surface poses a safety concern because it doesn't provide a complete barrier to the sleeping area of the parent as well as the infant's sleeping space. This could result in gaps which can pose dangers of suffocation to infants. Sharing a bed increases the body heat of the parent and could increase the chance of overheating. This can lead to SIDS. Although some manufacturers claim that bedside co-sleepers are safer than traditional cribs, these products aren't subject to the the safety standards of the CPSC. They could have slats that permit the baby's legs or head to be snagged, and their attachment mechanisms could be unstable and cause separation. Many of these surfaces have bedding that is loose that could cause the risk of suffocation. Babies do not have the strength or coordination required to free themselves from entanglement in soft bedding and gaps between the mattress and the frame could create a suffocation hazard. Some of these products have a tough base that can cause injury to a baby should they fall upon it. One commenter suggested that CPSC add pictograms to the warnings for these products, which would lower the risk of caregivers missing key elements. Moreover, bedside sleepers should come with an easy transition mechanism that can keep the baby from slipping off the bed of their parents. Bedding A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet) allows infants to sleep in their parents' beds but still having their own space. This type of safe co-sleeping reduces the risk of entrapment, suffocation, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by keeping infants close to their parents and within arms' reach for mid-night meals or for comforting. Baby bedding for sleepers on the bed could include crib sheets and bumpers. They can also include stuffed animals and blankets. Be sure that the bedding you choose is suitable for the bedside sleeping baby properly. This will stop pockets or bulges from blocking the baby's airway. Make sure the mattress you purchase for your bedside sleeping baby is sturdy and secure without gaps around the edges. If you're in search of bedding sets to keep your baby clean in case they fall or spill up in the night, choose something that is simple to wash and dries. You may also want to consider a travel kit for your child's bedside sleeper so that you can easily carry it around when you travel with your family or visit your grandparents' homes. When your baby is no longer a bedside sleeper, it is possible to transition your child to a crib, or a toddler that is on its own. When you transition, make sure to remove the crib from the parent's bed over several months or weeks so that your child can get used to sleeping in their own space while still being a part of their parents. Select a crib which can be folded away for storage and transport. Some cribs can even be converted into play yard or a larger bassinet. This makes them a perfect choice for new parents who are keen to travel. Tilt function A bedside sleeper, also known as a bassinet, is a bassinet attached to the side of a bed for adults. One side is lower than the other side to let parents reach their child at night. It could have tilt features that help reduce reflux in infants. Some parents feel this feature helps their child sleep better. It is important to note that a slanted, or elevated, sleeping surface may stimulate your baby's chin into a the chest position. This can lead to suffocation and should be avoided. Choosing a suitable mattress is a further important factor to consider when choosing a bedside crib. It should be flat, firm and ventilated. The size should match the dimensions of the crib and be able to fit in the frame. A second-hand mattress may increase the risk of SIDS, so it is recommended to buy an entirely new crib mattress. If possible, it is best to buy mattresses designed specifically for specific bed frames. bedside crib to cot Cots For Tots , like the Halo BassiNest, are designed to be tucked under your bed to save space while bringing your baby closer. However some beds are too low for this kind of crib. The splayed feet of the BassiNest make it difficult to slide underneath some beds. It may be difficult to place the BassiNest in a divan, and this could cause it to move or move out of alignment with your mattress. Other types of bedside bassinets such as the Ingenuity Sleep and Grow Bedside Crib can be positioned next to your mattress, however they aren't able be slanted. CHOICE recommends that parents use these beds if they have a sturdy air-conditioned bed. Tilting a bassinet or bedside crib can encourage your baby to roll into an unsafe position, increasing the chance of being suffocated. Foot-to-foot positioning A bedside crib, also referred to as co-sleeper or bassinet, is a small crib attached to the side of a bed for adults. It allows parents to be able to easily access their child throughout the night. These beds are generally larger than traditional cots or bassinets, and some have an lower part that creates a short barrier between the sleeping spaces. These beds are constructed from solid materials and have wheels to make them easier to move around the house. Some cribs with a bedside have a tilt function, which can help babies with digestive issues like colic or reflux. However, it's important to make use of this feature with utmost care and at a very gentle angle to avoid the risk of suffocation. Speak to your doctor or health professional if you aren't sure whether you should use the feature. The mattress is another important safety factor to consider when selecting a crib for your child's bedside. The mattress must be solid, flat and breathable, to lower the risk of SIDS. A mattress that is too soft may result in a clogged airway, which is extremely dangerous for babies. A breathable mattress will also ensure that your baby stays cool throughout the night, which will reduce the risk of overheating. It is recommended that you place your baby in a secure sleeping space such as crib, cot or Moses basket. While it might seem tempting to sleep with your baby in a bed, this poses a serious risk of SIDS. Wait until your baby can sleep independently before you attempt to co-sleep. If you have to, make sure that your bedroom is smoke-free in order to ensure your child is safe from secondhand smoke. If you're on a lower income, you could be eligible for assistance with a bassinet or a crib from Plunket. Second-hand cribs Frugal-minded parents may be tempted to buy or accept an old crib, bassinet or cradle from a relative or friend. However, cribs are one of the most common causes of deaths involving nursery products, especially when older ones have damaged or missing parts or more space between slats (which could lead to suffocation risks). Additionally, older mattresses could develop dips and other conditions that can be hazardous for your child. If your crib is too old to meet the current safety standards it could be contaminated with lead paint or have other toxic chemicals. If you're considering buying purchasing a crib that is used, check to see if it has been recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It's also a good idea to check whether the crib has been painted with water-based paint, which is much safer for infants than oil or phthalic paint. Additionally, ensure that the mattress is firm and secure. Babies can easily slide out of soft mattresses, which also present a risk of suffocation. Pay particular attention to used bassinets and cradles as well as play yards. All of them must be JPMA-certified, and free of sharp edges that could scratch or poke your baby. Avoid adding pillows, toys or blankets to these products. They could pose an dangerous for entrapment. Infants have died in cribs that were tampered with or modified and the majority of incidents occurred when parents and caregivers attempted to make the cribs more useful or attractive by adding things or modifying them in a way. Since 1973, crib makers and the CPSC have collaborated to establish mandatory standards for safer cribs, addressing things like side height, slat spacing, corner posts, mattress fit and cutouts in end panels. As a result, crib-related deaths have dropped from about 150-200 per year to less than 50.
