Bedside Baby Beds Baby cribs that can be placed near the bed will allow parents to keep their baby close during the night without compromising the safety of their child. They are designed for newborns and can be used until 6 to 4-6 months. The Halo Bassinest is able to rotate over the bed of the parent. It comes with a push-down feature that lets parents scoop their baby up to feed them during the night. However, the base won't fit under beds that are less than 4.5 inches high. Safety features A bedside crib allows parents to keep their babies close to them for nighttime feedings, comforting, and monitoring, without having to leave their bed. This sleeping arrangement is perfect for new mothers recovering from birth or for those with limited mobility. It could also help parents to sleep better at night. It is crucial to think about safety features when purchasing a bedside crib. The primary safety concern with this type of sleep surface is that it's not an entirely secure barrier between the bed of the parent and the infant's sleeping area which can lead to gaps that could pose dangers of suffocation to infants. In addition sharing a bed with a child increases the body heat of the parent and increases the risk of overheating which could lead to SIDS. Although some manufacturers claim that co-sleepers for bedside use to be safer than cribs, they are not subject to the CPSC safety standards. These cribs may have slats that permit babies' legs or heads to get trapped. The attachment mechanisms could also be unstable, leading to separation. Many of these surfaces also have bedding that is loose that could cause the risk of suffocation. Babies don't have the muscle or coordination to remove themselves from the tangles of soft bedding and the gaps between the mattress and the frame can cause a suffocation risk. Some of these beddings have a hard bottom that can injure a baby when they fall on it. One user suggested that CPSC include pictograms in its warnings on these products, which would reduce the chances of caregivers not knowing the most important elements. Moreover, bedside sleepers should come with an easy transition mechanism to keep the baby from slipping off the parent's bed. Bedding A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or co-sleeper lets babies sleep next to their parents' beds while maintaining an individual sleeping space. This safe form of co-sleeping reduces the risk of suffocation as well as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping children close to their parents. Baby bedding for a sleeper at night can include crib sheets, bumpers, blankets, and toys. Be sure that any bedding you select is appropriate for the bedside sleeper to avoid pockets or bulges that could obstruct the baby's breathing. Make sure that the mattress you buy for your baby's bed is sturdy and secure with no gaps around the edges. If you're looking for a bedding set that will keep your baby clean in case they get sick or vomit up during the night, select a set that is simple to wash and dries. Consider an item for travel to simplify the process of packing and unpack your bedside sleeper when you're going on vacation or visiting grandparents. 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, remove it from the parents' bed over the course of a few weeks or even months to allow your child to get used to sleeping in their own space, but still feel connected to them. Pick a crib that is able to be folded for storage and transportation. Some models can be converted into a play yard or a larger bassinet. This makes them a great option for parents who are new and like to travel. Tilt function A bedside sleeper is a bassinet that attaches to the side of the adult bed and has one side lower than the other, allowing parents to reach out to tend their baby at night. It may also have a tilt function that can help alleviate reflux in babies. Many parents report that this feature can help their children sleep better. However, it is important to keep in mind that an elevated or slanted sleeping surface could cause your child to fall into a dangerous chest-to-chin position. This could result in suffocation and should be avoided. The choice of a mattress is another key factor when it comes to choosing a crib for your bed. It should be firm, flat and ventilated. The mattress should be exactly the same size as the crib and be able to fit into the frame. A second-hand mattress could increase the chance of SIDS which is why it is recommended to buy an entirely new crib mattress. If you can, it is best to buy mattresses designed specifically for specific bed frames. Some bedside cribs are designed to be tucked under your bed to save space and bring your child close, such as the Halo BassiNest. bedside cot crib are too low to accommodate this kind of crib. The splayed feet of BassiNest make it difficult to slide under certain beds. It may be difficult to place the BassiNest in a divan, and this could cause it to move or rock out of line with your mattress. Other bassinets for bedside use such as the Ingenuity Sleep and Grow Bedside Crib can be placed next to your mattress, however, they aren't able to be slanted. CHOICE suggests parents use these beds with a comfortable, firm mattress. The tilt of a bassinet could cause your child to roll into a risky position, increasing their chance of dying. Foot-to-foot positioning A bedside crib, also known as co-sleeper or bassinet is a crib that is attached to the side of a bed for adults. This lets parents access their child with ease during the night. These beds are usually larger than the standard cots and bassinets. Some have a lower edge that creates a barrier between the sleeping areas. They are typically made from durable materials, and some come with wheels that allow for easy transportation throughout the home. Some cribs with a bedside have tilt features that can help babies who suffer from digestive issues, such as reflux or colic. But, it's crucial to make use of this feature with utmost care and at a very small angle to avoid being suffocated. Talk to your doctor or health visitor if you are unsure about using the feature. The mattress is another important safety consideration to make when selecting a crib to be your child's bedside. To decrease the risk of SIDS, the mattress needs to be flat, firm and breathable. A mattress that is too firm could cause a blocked airway in newborns, which can be dangerous. A breathable mattress can also help your child stay cool during the night, reducing the risk of overheating. It is recommended that you place your baby in a safe sleeping area – crib, cot, or Moses basket. It may seem appealing to sleep in the same bed as your baby, but this can cause SIDS. It's best to wait until your baby is old enough to sleep independently before you attempt to co-sleep. If you are able to, ensure that your bedroom is not smoke-free to ensure your child is safe from second-hand smoke. If you're living on a low income, you could be eligible for help with a bassinet or a crib from Plunket. Second-hand cribs Parents who are looking to save money may be tempted by a used bassinet, crib or cradle they get from a family member or friend. Cribs are just one of the baby products that could cause death, particularly when older cribs are broken or missing parts, or have wider 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 too old to meet the safety standards of today, it may be contaminated by lead paint or other toxic chemicals. If you are considering purchasing a used crib, be sure to check if it has been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Verify if the crib has been painted with water-based, since this is safer for infants. Additionally, make sure the mattress is firm and secure. Mattresses with soft edges can cause babies to slip out and also pose a suffocation risk. In addition to cribs, pay particular attention to any secondhand bassinets, cradles or play yards. All of them should be JPMA-certified and free from sharp edges which could cause injury to your baby. Avoid adding toys, pillows or blankets with these products. They could be a potential dangerous for entrapment. Infants have died in cribs that were altered with or altered, and most of the incidents were caused by caregivers and parents who attempted to make the cribs more functional or attractive by incorporating items or altering them in a way. Since 1973 crib makers and the CPSC have worked together to create the standards that are mandatory for safe infant cribs. These standards addressed things like side heights, spacing between slats, mattress fits, corner posts, and cutouts on end panels. As a result, crib-related deaths have decreased from 150 to 200 per year to about 50.
