Safety features A bedside baby bed lets parents keep their infants close for feedings at night, comforting and monitoring without leaving their bed. bedside cot crib of arrangement is ideal for new mothers recovering from childbirth or with limited mobility and may help parents remain more relaxed throughout the night. It is essential to think about the safety aspects when purchasing an infant crib. This kind of sleeping surface presents a safety hazard since it doesn't offer an adequate barrier between the sleeping area of the parent and the infant's sleeping area. This could result in gaps which can pose dangers of suffocation to infants. Sharing a bed increases body heat of the parent and could increase the risk of overheating. This could lead to SIDS. While some manufacturers claim bedside co-sleepers are safer than traditional cribs, these devices aren't subject to the CPSC's safety guidelines. These products may have the slats which allow a baby's head or legs to become trapped and their attachment mechanisms can be unstable and cause separation. Furthermore, a lot of mattress frames contain loose bedding that could cause death. Babies lack the strength and coordination to remove themselves from soft bedding. Gaps between the frame and mattress can create a suffocation risk. Some of these items have a hard base that could cause injury to a child if they fall onto it. One commenter suggested that the CPSC include pictograms as warnings for these products. This will reduce the chance that caregivers are unaware of key components. Bedside sleepers must have a smooth transition system to prevent the baby from sliding off the parent's mattress. Bedding A bedside crib, also referred to as a co-sleeper or bassinet allows infants to sleep beside their parents' beds while maintaining an independent sleeping space. This form of safe co-sleeping reduces the risks of suffocation, entrapment, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) by keeping babies close to their parents and within arms' reach for mid-night meals or comforting. Baby bedding for sleepers on the bed could include bumpers and crib sheets. They can also include stuffed animals and blankets. Make sure that the bedding you choose fits the bedside sleeping baby properly. This will prevent pockets or bulges from obstructing the baby's airway. Make sure the mattress you choose for your sleeping baby is firm and fits tightly without any gaps around the edges. When you are choosing a bedding set, look for a set that is easy to wash and dry to keep it clean when your baby has accidents or spits in the night. Consider the possibility of a travel kit that will make it easier to pack and take your bedside sleeper out of the bag when you're going on vacation or visiting grandparents. If your baby has outgrown the bedside sleeper, you can move him or her to a crib or toddler that is on its own. When you transition to a crib, remove it from the bed of your parents over a period of weeks or months to let your child get used to sleeping in his own space but still feel connected to them. Also, be sure to choose a crib that is able to fold up easily for storage and transport. Some models can even be converted into an outdoor play area or a deeper bassinet. This makes them an ideal option for parents who are new and love to travel. Tilt function A bedside sleeper, also known as a bassinet, is a piece of furniture attached to the bed's side for adults. One side is lower than the other side to allow parents to reach their baby at night. It could also come with a tilt function that can help ease reflux in infants. Many parents report that this feature helps their children sleep better. It is important to remember that a slanted or elevated, sleeping surface could encourage your baby's chin to chest position. This can cause suffocation, and should be avoided. A good mattress is an important factor when choosing the right crib for your child's bed. It must be flat and firm as well as breathable. The mattress should be similar to the size of the crib and fit comfortably into the frame. A second-hand mattress can increase the chance of SIDS and it is recommended to purchase a new crib mattress. Certain retailers sell mattresses that are designed specifically for specific bed frames so it is best to use those if you can. Some bedside cribs, like the Halo BassiNest, are designed to be tucked away under your bed in order to maximize space while bringing your baby closer. However, some beds are too low for this kind of crib. The BassiNest's splayed legs make it difficult to slide under certain beds. It can be difficult to tuck the BassiNest under a divan, which could cause it to move or rock out of line with your mattress. Other cribs for bedside use, such as the Ingenuity Dream and Grow Bedside Bassinet can be placed beside your mattress but are not capable of tilting. CHOICE advises parents to only use these beds with a firm, breathable mattress. The tilting of a bassinet can encourage your child to roll into a risky position, increasing their risk of suffocation. Foot-to-foot positioning A bedside crib, also called a co-sleeper or bassinet, is a tiny crib that can be attached to the sides of an adult's bed. This lets parents access their child with ease throughout the night. The beds are typically larger than the standard cots and bassinets. Some have a lower edge that creates a barrier between the sleeping areas. These beds are constructed from sturdy materials, and many have wheels to make them easier to move around the house. Some bedside cribs come with a tilt feature that can help babies who suffer from digestive issues, such as colic or reflux. However, it's important to make use of this feature with utmost care and at a very slight angle to avoid suffocation. If you're uncertain about whether or not to make use of this feature, talk to your GP or health visitor for guidance. The mattress is another important safety factor to take into account when choosing a crib for your child's bedside. To reduce the risk for SIDS, the mattress needs to be flat, firm and ventilated. A mattress that is too firm could cause obstruction of the airway in newborns, which can be dangerous. A breathable mattress can also help your child stay cool at night, reducing the risk of overheating. It is recommended to place your baby in a safe sleeping space – crib, cot, or Moses basket. While it might seem tempting to sleep with your baby in a bed, this poses a serious risk of SIDS. Make sure your baby is able to sleep independently before you attempt to sleep together. If you have to, make sure your bedroom is smoke-free to shield your baby from second-hand smoke. Plunket might be able to help with a bassinet or a crib in the event that you are a low-income parent. Second-hand cribs Parents who are frugal may be enticed to purchase or take a second-hand crib, bassinet or cradle as a hand-me-down from a friend or relative. However, cribs are one of the most common causes of death due to nursery products especially if they are damaged or missing parts or have more space between slats (which can create suffocation hazards). In addition, older mattresses may create dips and other conditions that could pose danger to your child. If your crib is old enough to predate the safety guidelines in place the crib could be contaminated by lead paint and could contain other toxic chemicals. Check if the crib has been recalls on the crib. Check if the crib was painted with water-based paint, since this is safer for babies. Also, ensure that the mattress is firm and fits snugly. Babies are prone to slip out of mattresses with soft surfaces, which also could pose a danger of suffocation. Pay particular attention to second-hand bassinets and cradles, and play yards. They should all be JPMA certified and contain no sharp elements that your child could scratch or poke at. Avoid putting blankets, pillows or toys to these products that could become dangerous entrapment risks. Infants have died from cribs that were altered or tampered with. The majority of these deaths occurred when parents or caregivers tried to make the cribs more functional or more attractive by adding or altering items. Since 1973, crib manufacturers and the CPSC have worked together to establish mandatory standards for safer cribs, addressing issues like side height, corner posts, mattress fit and cutouts in end panels. In the past few years the number of deaths attributed to cribs has dropped from 150 to 200 per year to 50.
