Bedside Sleeper Cot A bedside sleeper (also known by the name bassinet) is attached to the bed's side, so that your baby can be close enough to eat at night while still being safe in their own bed. Our mothers love that they are simple to reach, and can also pivot the sides and drop them to get closer. Safety A bedside sleeper cot lets newborns to be safely close to parents in their beds for feeding at night, providing comfort and monitoring, without putting them at risk with bed-sharing (which could result in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). The cots are made to conform to NHS guidelines on co-sleeping and are recommended by childcare experts such as director of the Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory Dr McKenna. These bassinets also help to encourage healthy attachment and breastfeeding by keeping babies close. This can help them achieve developmental milestones. It's important that parents look for bassinets that are simple to clean and safe to use and make sure that they've been tested and approved by a reliable agency such as JPMA. In 2023, ASTM updated their version of the standard F2906 that is voluntary for bedside sleepers to respond to the newer models that transform from a baby bassinet to a bedside sleeper by dropping a side rail in front of a bed for adults. This allows certain areas of the lower side to be elevated above the mattress and poses an increased chance of entrapment. CPSC's direct final rule incorporates this 2023 revision to the current mandatory standard in section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) for products for toddlers and infants that have been used for more than 180 days and is expected to reduce the risk of injury. Be aware that a bassinet or bedside sleeper, should not be used in conjunction with pillows or blankets. This can pose a suffocation risk as many young children aren't able to raise their heads sufficiently to remove them from soft objects. Additionally, a reclining position can cause the head to tilt forward blocking their airway. Always put your child on their back in a bassinet, crib or play yard or bedside sleeper. Make certain to use sheets that are fitted to meet the federal requirements. Convenience Having your baby close to you throughout the night can help create a bond between newborns and parents. Bedside sleeper bassets attach securely to the side of your mattress and allow you to easily reach your baby to change diapers, feeds and comforting in middle of the night. We searched for models with mesh sides that were translucent and easy to see through, allowing you to monitor your child without stepping up from bed. It's important that the bassinet you select is tested as safe for babies by an independent testing agency and that it meets all requirements of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). You should choose a bassinet that has a wide base and a strong attachment mechanism. A breathable mattress should be included. Look for a model with a manual rocking feature that's gentle on your baby and will help settle them to sleep. Some models have tilt functions that is beneficial for newborns who suffer from colic or reflux. However, this should only be used under the advice of a GP or health professional. Some bassinets include a mattress, while others require you to purchase a mattress separately. Make sure you buy one that is made to fit your bedside sleeper bassinet, since second-hand mattresses may be too soft and could pose a risk of SIDS. Also, you will need to purchase a comfortable fitted bed sheet and blanket for your baby. Check the fabric lining and foam mattress can be machine washed to make it easier to clean. A storage shelf or basket can be a useful option to store things like nappies, clothes, and muslins. There are also models that have wheels for mobility around the house. continue reading this.. for Breastfeeding If you choose to feed your baby in the night sleeping in a cot beside your bed will aid you in getting the most from your feedings. By attaching to bedside crib with changing table , it allows you to easily reach across when your baby wakes up to feed. The side of the cot can be lowered to create a shallow bed for side-by side sleeping. Certain models tilt to help with reflux. The curved sides of the cot mean that it's easy to spot your baby and they won't slide off of the side as you lift them up for feeding. Some cribs with a bedside sleeper feature an automatic rocking feature which can calm your child and help them to fall asleep faster after eating. When it comes to keeping your baby clean, a cosy bedding and a removable material which can be washed by a machine can be very beneficial. Some models have gentle rocking and vibration features which can help soothe your baby to sleep. Breastfeeding mothers will also be happy with the storage space. Bed-sharing is extremely popular with breastfeeding mothers because it is easy and allows them to have the mother with a close relationship with her baby during their sleep. Research has revealed that infants who are breastfed and share a sleep space have much better outcomes than infants fed by bottles. It is important to be aware of the risks and practices associated with sharing an infant's bed and to choose the right mattress for your baby. Some sleeping bags for babies have soft edges that can keep your baby in the bag. You also need to be careful not to allow the sleeper in bed slide backwards, creating an opening that your child could crawl into or roll into. If you are worried about the safety of a baby who sleeps at the bedside, consider attending an LLL meeting or speaking to a Sleep Leader to find out more about the sleeping habits of breastfeeding mothers and their babies. They can explain how to create a safe and secure sleeping environment for your baby and help you to understand the dangers of SIDS. They can also educate you about the'sweet sleep' of nursing mothers, which has many of the same protective factors as breastfeeding.
