Bedside Co-Sleeper - What is a Bedside Co-Sleeper?

A bedside cot co sleeper is a bassinet that attaches to the bed's side and allows you to reach out for your baby in the middle of the night. This kind of co-sleeping has been suggested by The Lullaby Trust and NHS as it allows you to keep your baby close without risking SIDS.

Peace of Mind

Co-sleeping is an excellent parenting choice. Some parents worry that sleeping close to their child increases the risk of SIDS. However studies such as those conducted by NHS suggest the reverse. Co-sleeping is sharing a sleeping space that can increase the risk of SIDS. Bedside cot co sleepers have been designed to provide an appropriate middle ground between bed-sharing and separate sleeping surfaces, allowing a parent to reach over their child and effortlessly to comfort or nurse them without leaving the security of their own bed.

It is important to feed and comfort your infant regularly. However, parents who are tired may find it difficult to get up from their bed to do so. The bedside co sleeper allows parents the option of keeping their infant close to them and not need to leave their bed. Some co sleepers come with an innovative design, like the SnuzPod. The four walls can be opened to transform the cot for bedside into a cradle. This provides an additional layer of protection. This allows tired parents to be able to watch their babies while lying in bed.

It is worth bearing in mind that the risk of SIDS increases if a parent smokes (even with a co-sleeper) and when drinks or substances are consumed, even in small quantities. It's also not a good idea to sleep with a baby if the mother or father have a history of snoring. The NHS recommends ensuring that babies are put to sleep on their backs to reduce the chance of rolling and death. The safest option is to utilize a cot at the bedside or bassinet, or cradle.

Safety

The NHS recommends that babies be placed in their own cribs rather than sharing your bed. This is because of the increased risk for overheating or suffocation. Baby's in bed with their parents are more likely to be covered by pillows, blankets or sheets. This could lead to SIDS. This is why a bedside cot used crib is such a great solution. The close proximity to parents ensures that the baby isn't being suffocated, or overheated, while being accessible to feed at night and be comforted.

When the Dutch co-sleeping pod image first became viral four years ago, parents around the world were eager to get their hands on one to experience safe co-sleeping with their baby. Despite the excitement, doctors do not fully support the idea of a sleeping bed that attaches to the side of a adult bed.

The most significant concern is that a parent may roll onto an infant and cause strangulation or suffocation. The risk is especially high if the parent is smoking, drinking alcohol or taking drugs while asleep. Overheating, falling and maternal death are also a possibility.

If you decide to opt for a bedside sleeper, it's crucial to select one that is in line with the highest safety standards. The mattress should fit comfortably without gaps and shouldn't be susceptible to sagging. You should also familiarise yourself with the weight limits and age recommendations for sleepers.

All new bedside sleepers will have to comply with the new safety standard, that was announced in November 2020. It replaces the earlier standards. There are still older models available for sale in some shops but they are gradually disappearing as manufacturers transition to the new safety standards.

Before you buy a used model, ensure that it is in good condition. Make sure the mechanism used to secure the mattress to the parent's bed is sturdy and doesn't leave a gap. You should also ensure that the mattress fits properly inside the sleeper with no any gaps or bulges. Sheets should also fit snugly, so that the baby cannot wriggle down inside and end up in a pocket or be in danger of suffocation.

Using a bedside crib or bassinet is a safer option. They are designed to attach to the side of a parent's bed, allowing the baby to remain close enough to feed at night and relaxing. This means exhausted parents aren't forced to leave their beds during the night, and they can keep an watch on their child while still getting a goodnight's sleep.

Research has proven that babies sleep better when they are in close to their parents. You can also respond quickly to any issues or concerns, or even reassure your baby and make them feel more at ease.
