Choosing Between a Baby Bedside Co Sleeper and a Bassinet

New parents have a variety of choices when it comes to baby sleep. Some are contemplating co-sleeping (which the AAP cautions against due suffocation risks), while others want the comfort of having their child close to them for diaper changes and feedings.

A baby bedside co sleeper is an alternative to a crib or a bassinet that is attached to the side of the parent's bed to provide safe, convenient access. MFM home testers have praised the practical, stylish design of this option.

Safety

The bedside co-sleeper is also called a sidecar, is a safe option for sleep-deprived babies that allows babies to sleep close to their parents without putting them at risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It's a part of rooming-in which is a practice employed in hospitals to help newborns establish a bond with their parents or mom as they learn to self-sooth to sleep. Parents should consider the pros and cons of cheap bedside cot co-sleepers and regular bassinets when deciding on a sleep solution.

The most important feature of a baby bedside co sleeper is safety. Models with rigid frames and breathable materials are best. They should also have no loose parts or parts that could create a choking risk. A mattress that is breathable is crucial, and consider models that can be machine washed for effortless cleaning. Also, make sure the mattress is flat and firm, without any pillows or blankets, since this reduces the likelihood of a risk of accidental suffocation.

The unit's accessibility from the bed of the parents is another security consideration. This allows for nighttime feedings and easier monitoring of the baby's status as they sleep. Some bassinets can be located far enough away from the bed of the parents 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 co-sleeping at the bedside cot crib vs. bassinet. Some parents prefer a co-sleeper due to the close physical connection it offers, while other parents are concerned about the risk of suffocation and roll-off associated with bed sharing. The top-rated bedside sleepers are the Snoo smart sleeping bag and the Babybay bedside co-sleeper. They have an edging of wood that is similar to cribs where babies were born and a swaddle sack that stops them from moving during their sleep.

If you're looking to co-sleep but aren't sure about the risks, consider an option like the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper. This bassinet-style sleeper provides an environment that is safer for co-sleeping by connecting directly to the side of your bed, with a short barrier that lets you see and reach your baby.

Comfort

It's crucial that your baby sleeps comfortably, regardless of the type of sleeper you select. This means making sure that the crib is sturdy and flat with no gaps between the mattress and the baby's mattress. Some co-sleepers are using soft surfaces and fluffy padding which can put your child at risk of SIDS. This is why we recommend using a mattress protector to stop any sagging or gaps.

Another important feature to consider is breathability. Some of the models we have tested for this review include mesh sides that are air-tight mesh, which lets your baby breathe while remaining safe. Several other models, such as the Baby Delight and HALO BassiNest Essentia, offer great airflow.

If your bedside sleeper has tilt options, this can be beneficial to babies with digestive issues or reflux. Some of the top sleepers we found, like the HALO Swivel BassiNest Sleeper 3.0 has a slight tilt that could be beneficial to your baby while minimizing the chance of suffocation as well as falling.

Some parents prefer a bassinet that is attached to their bed, while others prefer a sleeper connected to the bed. These models are attached to the bed of the parent and allow them to reach their newborn for middle-of-the-night feedings and for comforting. Bedside sleepers may also be employed as a part of a safe co-sleeping practice called rooming-in, which reduces the risk of sudden infant deaths and promotes bonding between parents and their babies.

In the end, it's down to each family to determine which is best for them. We hope this guide will help in your search for the ideal baby bedside co-sleeper for your infant. No matter if you opt for a bedside co-sleeper or a regular bassinet, ensure that you adhere to the recommended safe sleep guidelines as suggested by the AAP, to avoid any possible dangers. Good luck!

Design

The cribside baby co-sleeper (also known as sidecar co-sleeper or bassinet) is a secure alternative for traditional cribs that allows parents to sleep together with their newborn. It attaches to the side of a parent's bed and is basically an extension of their mattress so that babies can be easily reachable for feeding and comforting at night. This kind of room sharing reduces the chance of SIDS and other infant hazards but can also make it easier to keep baby in sight.

There are a myriad of co-sleepers to choose from. It is important to choose one that meets your family's requirements. Some are more expensive and have more features. Others are more budget-friendly. But safety is the main consideration regardless of what you decide to purchase. Research certifications, reviews and safety concerns for every model you are contemplating.

The top picks for baby bedside co sleepers include the Snoo Smart Sleeper, Baby Delight Beside Me Dreamer and HALO BassiNest Essentia. The breathable mesh and the small stretch of solid fabric in these models make sure that the mattress is comfortable for babies, with no compression or gaps that could prevent airflow. The babybay bedside sleeping option is a great alternative. It has a design that resembles a crib and can be adjusted in height to ensure the perfect fitting.

Newborns are most comfortable in small spaces. The likeness of a womb in co-sleepers or bassinets can help them sleep better and build a strong bond with their parents. In addition, a bedside crib and travel cot sleeper provides the ease of access that many parents require to breastfeed or bottle feed at night without leaving their bed. All of the models above come with a sleek and elegant design that is compatible with any style of bedroom. These models are also easy to clean and set up which makes them the ideal choice for parents who want to sleep with their child.

Value

A bedside sleeper is an excellent way to keep your baby close throughout the night. It can help you build a stronger bond and enhance the overall development of your child. It also makes it easier to get up for diaper changes and feedings which can help you to sleep better as well.

When selecting a bedside co sleeper, look for baby bedside co sleeper one that folds up easily and serves multiple purposes. Certain models can be transformed into a play area or a larger bassinet. Be sure to consider the quality of the mattress as a lot of models are made with polyurethane. Be sure to look for claims about eco-health, such as low VOC and hypoallergenic or GreenGuard or Oeko-Tex certification.

Take into consideration your long-term plans as well, as you may have to move your baby to a crib within a few months. A co-sleeper, or bassinet, may be the best option as it allows you to be close to your baby and it will ease the transition from your bed to your nursery. This type of arrangement is also known as rooming-in and is believed to improve baby's sleep habits as well as sensory acuity.
