Bedside Co-Sleeper - What is a large bedside crib Co-Sleeper?

A bedside co-sleeper is a bassinet that is attached to the mattress's side which lets you reach your baby during the middle of the night. This kind of co-sleeping is suggested by The Lullaby Trust and NHS as it allows you to keep your baby close by without being at risk of SIDS.

Peace of Mind

Co-sleeping is a great parenting choice. Some parents are concerned that sleeping next to their child increases the risk of SIDS. However studies like those published by NHS suggest the opposite. Co-sleeping is a form of sharing the same sleeping surface that can increase the risk of SIDS. Bedside cot co sleepers are designed to provide a safe place to rest between bed sharing and separate sleeping areas that allow parents to reach over their child and effortlessly nurse or comfort them without leaving the security of their own bed.

It is crucial to feed and comfort your baby frequently. However, tired parents may find it difficult to get out of their bed to do so. The bedside co-sleeper gives parents to keep their baby close and not leave their comfortable bedding. The innovative design of some co sleepers, like the SnuzPod also permits the four walls to slide down and transform the cot into a cradle with an additional layer of protection that allows tired parents to watch their baby while still in bed.

It is worth bearing in mind that the chance of SIDS increases when a parent smokes (even with a co-sleeper) and when alcohol or drugs are consumed even in small amounts. Co-sleeping with a child is not recommended in the event of a parent with a history of snoring. The NHS suggests that infants are placed to sleep on their back to minimise the risk of accidental rolling and the risk of suffocation. The safest option is to utilize a cot at the bedside or bassinet.

Safety

The NHS recommends that babies be placed in their own cribs rather than sharing your bed. This is due to the increased chance of suffocation and heat. Children who sleep with their parents are more likely to be covered by pillows, blankets or sheets, which can obstruct their breathing and lead to SIDS. A bedside cot crib crib can be a great solution. Being close to parents will ensure that the baby isn't suffocated or overheated. Moreover, the baby is able to be easily reached for feedings at night and comforting.

The primary concern is that a parent can roll over the infant, causing strangulation or suffocation.

Other risks include overheating, the risk of falling, and the risk of maternal death during pregnancy or after the birth of a child.

Also, make sure that the mattress fits into the sleeper with no gaps or bulges. Sheets should fit snugly too in order that the child cannot wriggle down inside and become trapped in a pocket or be in danger of suffocation.
