Bedside Cosleeper A bedside cosleeper attaches to your adult bed. It's safe as long as you follow the CSPC safety guidelines for sleeping spaces for infants. These guidelines are similar to crib bedding standards. You can read more about these guidelines here. The most important factors to consider when selecting a bedside sleeper are: Safety Comfort, Convenience, and Safety. Safety In keeping with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation that infants sleep in the same bed with their parents cosleeping (a practice that is also known as bed-sharing) has gained popularity with many new and expecting parents. The Academy recommends that room-sharing with a baby is less risky than sleeping in the same bed as parents because it lowers the risk of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). While the AAP does not recommend bed sharing but does recommend that cosleeping be done on a separate sleeping surface to reduce the risk of SIDS. This is the reason why the creation of the bedside cosleeper became so important to many families. A bedside cosleeper attaches to a bed frame designed for adults. It is an equivalent of a crib-style sleeper. The bedside cosleeper lets parents to keep an eye on their little one and gives them the ability to move around in sleeping in a bed while keeping their child close by. The most reliable cosleepers are made with top-quality materials and adhere to strict safety standards. Be sure to look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA) stamp of approval, which indicates rigorous product testing and quality control, to ensure your child's safety cosleeping experience. The safety of a bedside sleeper depends on several aspects such as the manner in which it is put up and attached to the parent's bed. If the bedside sleeper is not connected to the parent's bed in a way that prevents the gaps and openings where an infant can become trapped, it could be a suffocation hazard. It is essential that the attachment system for the bedside sleeper be tested in order to ensure that it can withstand forces that are imposed during use, for example the parent rolling on and off the sleeper. horizontal force applied to the attachment system or corners of the bedside cosleeper. The voluntary standard for bedside sleeping cribs incorporates, as a reference, the federal consumer safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218) and performance requirements for fabric-sided closed openings. The standard's mandatory requirements also address the danger of head and neck traps by requiring after the application, release a 50-lb. horizontal force in the vicinity of the attachment system and the corners of the bedside sleeper, an opening that is greater than 1.0 in. It is not allowed to create a gap that is greater than 1.0 in. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard. Convenience Many parents are reluctant to cosleep because they fear being suffocated or SIDS, or because it is a “Ferberization” that forces children to be in a room by themselves. bedside cot wooden have noted for years that many primates, mammals and people from non-Western cultures sleep often. This is because babies are soothed when they hear their mother's voice, and can also learn to self-soothe. The top bedside sleepers have an innovative design that is attached to the sides of any bed and can be swiveled for easy access for middle-of-the-night feedings or diaper changes. Find a model with adjustable feet, which retract to accommodate various mattress sizes. It should also include ample storage space for all of your baby's essentials. Choose a bedside crib that fits standard crib bedding, so it's safe to use as your child grows. You might also think about an adjustable model that can transform into a play yard or a more deep bassinet for years of use, and folds easily for transport. Portability Based on the size of your bedroom a bedside sleeper with wheels and/or a lightweight base could be easier to move around your home than one with frames made of wood or a massive base.
