Bedside Baby Beds





Baby bedside cribs allow parents to keep their newborn close at night without compromising safety. They are made to be used by infants from 4-6 months.

The Halo Bassinest can be swiveled over the bed of the parent. It has a push-down side that allows parents to take their newborn baby in to feed them during the night. But, the base won't be able to fit under beds less than 4.5 inches high.

Safety features

A crib that is placed at the bedside allows parents to monitor, comfort, and feed their babies at night without having leave their bed. This type of arrangement is ideal for new mothers recovering from childbirth or those with limited mobility and may help parents remain more well-rested throughout the night. It is essential to think about the safety aspects when purchasing an infant crib.

The main safety issue for this type of sleep surface is that it's not an entirely secure barrier between the bed of the parent and the baby's sleeping space and can result in gaps that could cause dangers of suffocation to infants. Sharing a bed increases body heat of the parent and can increase the chance of overheating. This could lead to SIDS.

Although some manufacturers claim that bedside co-sleepers are safer than cribs, they're not covered by the CPSC safety standards. They may have slats that permit the baby's head or legs to get caught. Their attachment mechanisms may be unstable, resulting in separation.

A lot of these surfaces contain loose bedding, which can lead to suffocation. Babies lack the muscle or coordination to free themselves from entanglement in soft bedding and the gaps between the mattress and the frame could cause a suffocation risk. Some of these products also have a hard bottom that could cause injury to a baby if they fall onto it. One user suggested that the CPSC add pictograms as warnings on these products. This will reduce the chance that caregivers are unaware of key components. Bedside sleepers must have an easy transition system that prevents the baby from sliding off the parent's bed.

Bedding

A bedside crib (also called a co-sleeper or bassinet) allows babies to sleep beside their parents' beds while maintaining a separate space. This type of safe co-sleeping helps reduce the risk of suffocation as well as Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by keeping children close to their parents.

Baby bedding for a sleeper on the bed could include bumpers and crib sheets. It could also include blankets and stuffed animals. Make sure that any bedding you choose to use fits the bedside sleeper properly to avoid bulges or pockets that could obstruct the baby's breathing. Make sure the mattress you purchase for your sleeping baby is firm and fits tightly without gaps around the edges.

When choosing bedding sets, look for something that's easy to wash and dry so that you can keep it clean when your baby is having accidents or spits up during the night. Consider a travel kit to simplify the process of packing and unpack your bedside sleeping set when you're going to visit grandparents or on vacation.

When your baby is no longer a bedside sleeper you can transition him or her to a crib, or a toddler that is all on its own. When transitioning to a crib, move it away from the bed of your parents over the course of a few weeks or even months to let your child become comfortable sleeping in his own space but remain connected to them. Select a crib which can be folded up for storage and transport. Certain models can be transformed into a play yard or a deeper bassinet. This makes them a perfect choice for new parents who love to travel.

Tilt function

A bedside sleeper, also known as the bassinet, is a piece of furniture that is attached to the bed's side for adults. One side is lower than the other to enable parents to reach their child at the end of the night. It may also have a tilt feature to help reduce reflux in babies. Many parents report that this feature helps their children sleep better. It is important to keep in mind that a slanted, or elevated, sleeping surface could stimulate your baby's chin into a the chest position. This can lead to suffocation and should be avoided.

A mattress that is suitable for your child is an important factor when choosing a crib for your child's bed. It should be flat, firm and breathable. The mattress should be the same size as the crib and be able to fit into the frame. It is recommended to buy a new mattress for the crib since a second-hand one could increase the chance of SIDS. If you can, it is recommended to purchase mattresses designed specifically for specific bedframes.

Some bedside cribs, like the Halo BassiNest, are designed to be tucked away under your bed in order to save space while bringing your baby closer. However some beds are too low for this kind of crib. The BassiNest's legs with splayed feet make it difficult to slide underneath certain beds. It may be difficult to place the BassiNest in a divan, and this could cause it to shift or rock out of alignment with your mattress.

Other bassinets for bedside use such as the Ingenuity Sleep and Grow Bedside Crib can be placed close to your mattress however, they aren't able to be slanted. CHOICE recommends parents to use these beds with a firm, breathable mattress. The tilting of a bassinet could cause your child to slide into a risky position, increasing the risk of suffocation.

A bedside crib, also known as co-sleeper or bassinet, is a small crib attached to the side of a bed for adults. This lets parents access their child at any time at night. The beds are typically larger than the traditional cots or bassinets. Some have a lower edge that creates an enclosure between the sleeping spaces. These beds are made from sturdy materials, and many have wheels to make them easier to move around the home.

Some cribs for bedside use tilt features that can aid babies with digestive issues like colic or reflux. It is essential to use the tilt feature with care and only at a very small angle to prevent the risk of suffocation. If you're unsure about whether or not to utilize this feature, speak to your GP or health care professional for guidance.

The mattress is an additional safety consideration to make when choosing a crib for your child's bedside. To minimize the risk of SIDS, the mattress needs to be firm, flat and airy. A mattress that is too soft can cause a blocked airway, which can be dangerous for infants. A mattress that is breathable can ensure that your baby stays cool throughout the night, which could decrease the chance of overheating.

It is recommended to place your baby in a secure sleeping area - crib, cot, or Moses basket. While it could be tempting to sleep with your child in a bed, this poses a serious risk of SIDS. You should wait until your baby is able to sleep independently before you attempt to co-sleep. If you need to, make sure your bedroom is smoke-free to shield your child from second-hand smoke. If you're living on a low income, you might be eligible for help with a crib or bassinet from Plunket.

Second-hand cribs

Parents who want to save money may be enticed by a second-hand crib, bassinet or cradle they get from a family member or friend. Cribs are one of many baby products that could cause death, especially when older cribs are damaged or missing parts or have wider spaces between the slats. Mattresses that are older can also develop dips or other conditions that are risky for your baby. If your crib is older than the current safety standards, it could be tainted by lead paint and could contain other harmful chemicals.

If you are considering purchasing a crib that is used, look to see whether it's been recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. It is also a good idea to check whether the crib has been painted with water-based paint which is safer for babies than phthalic or oil paint. Also, ensure that the mattress is sturdy and snugly fits. Mattresses that are soft can cause infants to slip out and pose a suffocation risk.

In addition to cribs, pay special attention to any secondhand bassinets, cradles, and play yards. They should all be JPMA certified and have no sharp edges that your child can scratch or poke themselves on. Avoid adding pillows, toys, or blankets to these products. They could be a potential entrapment hazard.

Infants have died in cribs that had been tampered with or altered and most of the incidents occurred when parents and caregivers attempted to make the cribs more useful or attractive by incorporating items or modifying them in some way. Since 1973 crib makers and CPSC worked together to establish standard requirements for safer cribs for infants. These standards addressed things like side heights, slat spacings mattress fits, corner posts and cutouts for end panels. In the last few years the number of crib-related deaths has dropped from 150 to 200 a year to just 50.
