Choosing Between a Baby Bedside Co Sleeper and a Bassinet

When it comes to infant sleeping, parents have many options. Some parents are considering co-sleeping, which the AAP warns against because of the risk of suffocation. Others would like to be capable of reaching their baby for diaper changes or feedings in the middle of the night.

A baby bedside co sleeper is a great alternative to a crib or bassinet that attaches to the side of the parent's bed to provide safe, convenient access. The MFM home testers were impressed by the stylish and functional look of this alternative.

Safety

A bedside crib or cot co sleeper, also known as a sidecar bassinet, can be an ideal baby sleep solution that lets newborns sleep with their parents without placing them at risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It's a part and parcel of the rooming-in procedure that is utilized in hospitals to help babies develop a bond with their parents, even as they are still learning how to self-soothe. When choosing a sleep solution parents should weigh the advantages and disadvantages of both bedside co sleepers and standard bassinets.

The most important thing to consider when choosing a baby bedside co sleeper is safety. Models with rigid frames and breathable materials are the best. They should also have no loose parts or loose parts that could pose a choking risk. Consider models that can be washed to ensure easy cleaning. Also, ensure that the mattress is flat and firm, without any blankets or pillows, since this can reduce the chance of an accidental suffocation hazard.

The unit's accessibility from the bed of the parents is a further security consideration. This will allow for feedings at night and better monitoring of the baby's condition while they sleep. Some bassinets are so far away from the parents' bed that they require a step to access the area where they sleep.

The proximity to parents is another aspect that parents are considering when deciding between a bedside co sleeper vs bassinet. Some parents like the close physical bond co-sleeping provides, while others are concerned about the risk of the risk of suffocation or roll-off that comes with sharing a bed. Some of the most highly-rated bedside sleepers, like the babybay bedside cot mattress co sleeper and the Snoo smart sleeper are designed to alleviate the concerns by using an slat-like design that resembles the cribs in which babies were born as well as an swaddle bag that stops them from moving around in their sleep.

Take a look at the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper if not sure about the dangers of co-sleeping. This bassinet-style co sleeper offers a safer co-sleeping environment by attaching directly to the bed's side with a narrow barrier that lets you see and reach your baby.

Comfort

It's crucial that your baby rests comfortably, no matter what type of sleeper you select. It's important to ensure that the crib is flat and firm, with no gaps between the mattress of your baby and the bed. Some bedside co sleepers use soft padding or soft surfaces which could put your baby at risk of SIDS. We recommend using mattress protectors to prevent any sagging.

Breathability is another important feature to think about. Some of the best models we reviewed for this review, including the babybay Bedside Sleeper and Snoo Smart Sleeper, feature breathable mesh sides that offer great ventilation while still keeping your newborn secure. Several other models, such as the Baby Delight and HALO BassiNest Essentia, offer great breathability.

If your bedside mattress has tilt options it can be beneficial for babies with digestive issues or reflux. The best options we've found like the HALO BassiNest Swivel Sleeper 3.0 offers the option of a slight tilt that can be beneficial to your baby, while minimizing the chance of suffocation or falling.

While some parents may choose to use a standard bassinet, many prefer a travel bedside crib sleeper. These types of beds are attached directly to the parent's mattress which makes it simple to reach the baby for feedings or to snuggle during the night. Bedside sleepers can also be utilized as part of a safe sleep-sharing practice called rooming-in. This reduces the risk of sudden infant deaths and fosters bonding between parents and infants.

In the end, it's up to the family to decide what's right for their family. We hope that this guide has been useful when you are searching for the perfect bedside co sleeper for your infant. Whether you choose a bedside sleeper or a regular bassinet, ensure that you adhere to the safe sleeping guidelines as suggested by the AAP to avoid any potential hazards. Good luck!

Design

The baby's bedside co-sleeper (also known as sidecar co-sleeper or bassinet) is a secure alternative to traditional cribs that allow parents to sleep together with their newborn. It is attached to the side of the bed that parents sleep in and creates a mattress extension where babies can be easily reached to feed and comfort them at night. This type of room sharing reduces the risk of SIDS and other infant hazards, but also makes it easier to keep an eye on baby.

There are many different co-sleepers available on the market, so it is important to select one that best suits the needs of your family. Certain co-sleepers are more expensive and include more features. Others are more budget friendly. Safety is the main priority, no matter what product you decide to purchase. Find reviews, certifications and safety concerns for every model you are thinking about.

The top picks for infant bedside co sleepers include the Snoo Smart Sleeper, Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer and HALO BassiNest Essentia. These models feature breathable mesh and minimal stretching of solid fabric to ensure that the baby's sleeping surface is comfortable. There aren't any gaps or compressions that can hinder airflow. The babybay bedside sleeper is another great alternative, featuring a design that looks similar to a traditional crib and has a height adjustment for an "just right" fit.

Newborns feel more secure in smaller spaces, and the baby's womb-like appearance of co-sleepers and bassinets can help them sleep better and form a strong bond with their parents. A bedside sleeper can also allow parents to easily breastfeed or bottle-feed their babies at night, without having to get out of their bed. All of the models above have a sleek and stylish design that is compatible with any decor in the bedroom. They're also easy to set up and clean and make them a good choice for parents who require a simple method of sleeping with their infant.

Value

A bedside sleeper can allow you to keep your child close at night. It can help you establish an even closer connection with your child and enhance their overall development. It can also make it easier to get up to change diapers and feeds, helping you to sleep better as well.

Look for a co-sleeper that folds easily and serves a variety of purposes. Some options can be transformed into play yard or a deeper bassinet, for example. It is also important to consider the quality of the sleep surface, as many models use polyurethane foam. You should look for claims that promote eco-health such as low VOC and hypoallergenic, as well as GreenGuard or Oeko-Tex certified.

Consider your long-term plans as well, as you may need to transition your baby to a crib in a few months. A bassinet or co-sleeper, may be the best option as it allows you to stay close to your baby, and it will ease the transition from your bed to your nursery. This type of sleeping arrangement also referred to as rooming-in, is believed by some to enhance a baby's senses and sleeping habits.
