Bedside Cosleeper

A bedside cosleeper is a bassinet that connects to the side of your adult bed. It's safe, so long as you adhere to the CSPC safety guidelines for sleeping spaces for infants.

These guidelines are similar to the crib bedding standards. You can learn more about these guidelines here. When choosing a bedside baby sleeper sleeping device, safety, comfort, and ease of use are the primary aspects to take into consideration.

Safety

Many new parents and expecting mothers have embraced cosleeping, also known as bed-sharing, as per the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that infants should be in the same room as their parents. The Academy says that sharing a room with a baby is more secure than sleeping in the same bed with a parent because it reduces the risk of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). The AAP does not recommend bed-sharing however it does suggest that co-sleeping on an individual sleeping surface is a good way to lower the risk of SIDS. This is why the introduction of the bedside cosleeper was important for many families.

A bedside cosleeper is a crib-like sleeper that attaches to an adult bed frame. The bedside cosleeper enables parents to monitor their child and gives them the freedom of an adult bed while keeping their baby close to them. The best cosleepers have strict safety standards and are constructed with durable, high-quality components. 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 safety of a bedside baby bed cosleeper depends on several factors that include the manner in which it is put up and secured to the parent's bed. It is important that the bedside cosleeper be secured to the mattress of the parent in a manner that prevents gaps and spaces, in which an infant could become trapped. This could pose the risk of suffocation. It is crucial that the attachment system of a bedside crib be tested to ensure that it can withstand the forces that might be imposed in the use of it, like the parent rolling on and off of the sleeper or 25-pound. The attachment system or corners on the bedside cosleeper should be subjected to a horizontal force.

The voluntary standard for bedside sleeping cribs incorporates, as a reference to the federal consumer safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218) which includes performance requirements for fabric-sided closed openings. The requirements that are mandatory in the standard also address head and neck entrapment hazards by insisting that following the application and release of a 50-lb. horizontal force in the vicinity of the attachment systems and corners of the bedside sleeping device, a gap larger than 1.0 in. is not allowed to be created. The standard is not available for reading. can be found at ASTM's electronic Reading Room.

Convenience

While many parents have avoided cosleeping because of fears of suffocation, SIDS or the "Ferberization" process that makes children to sleep on their own Anthropologists have long observed that mammals and primates as well as those living in non-Western societies, frequently coslept. It could be because infants are calmed by the familiar voice of their mother, and it also helps them practice self-soothing.

The best 4-in-1 bedside crib sleepers feature an innovative design that is attached on the side of any mattress and pivots so that you can easily reach it to change diapers or feeds during the middle of the night. Choose one with feet that are adjustable and retract to accommodate various mattress sizes and a huge storage compartment for all your baby's necessities.

Select a bedside sleeper that is compatible with standard crib bedding, so it's safe to use as your child grows. You may also want to consider a convertible model that can transform into a play yard or a more deep bassinet for years of use, and folds up easily for travel.

Portability

Depending on the dimensions of your bedroom, a bedside cosleeper with wheels and/or a lightweight base may be more convenient to move around the house than one with a heavy wood frame or massive base. The babybay bedside cot wooden Sleeper, HALO BassiNest Essentia and Snoo Smart Sleeper are all equipped with great portability features: adjustable feet that retract to accommodate platform beds and the legs fold inward for maximum closeness to the mattress; and sides made of 100% mesh to let airflow without fabric covering baby's mouth or nose.

The Arm's Reach ClearVue is another popular option that adjusts in 1" increments to fit in most adult beds and can also function as a portable bassinet. It also rotates, allowing easy access to your baby so that you can soothe your baby, nurse or monitor her at night.
