Choosing Between a Baby Bedside Co Sleeper and a Bassinet
When it comes to newborn sleeping, new parents have a variety of choices. Some parents may consider co-sleeping which the AAP warns against due to the risk of suffocation. Others want to be capable of reaching their baby to change diapers or feeds during the night.
A baby bedside baby bed co sleeper is a great alternative to a bassinet or crib that can be attached to the side of the parent’s bed for safe, convenient access. MFM home testers praised the functional, stylish look of this choice.
Safety
A bedside cot crib co sleeper or a sidecar bassinet, is an ideal baby sleep solution that lets newborns sleep with their parents without being at risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. It’s a part and parcel of the rooming-in procedure which is used in hospitals to aid newborns establish a connection with their parents while they’re still learning to soothe themselves. When choosing a solution for sleep, parents need to consider the pros and cons of both bedside co sleepers as well as regular bassinets.
The most important feature of a baby bedside co sleeper is safety. Choose models with sturdy frames, breathable materials and no loose parts that could create a choking hazard. A breathable mattress is essential and it is recommended to look for mattresses that can be machine washed for effortless cleaning. Also, ensure that the mattress is flat and firm, without any pillows or blankets, since this will reduce the risk of a risk of accidental suffocation.
The unit’s access from the bed of the parents is a further security consideration. This will allow for feedings at night and easier monitoring of the baby’s condition during their sleep. Contrary to that, many regular bassinets are located far enough away from the bed of the parent that they may require a step to get into the sleeping space.
Proximity to the parents is a different factor to are considering when deciding between a bedside crib or cot co sleeper vs bassinet. Some parents prefer a co-sleeper because of the close physical connection it creates however, other parents are concerned about the dangers of suffocation and roll-off associated with bed sharing. Some of the highest-rated bedside sleepers like the babybay bedside co sleeper and the Snoo smart sleeper, are designed to eliminate these worries with an slat-like design that resembles the cribs in which babies were born as well as the swaddle sack, which prevents them from moving about in their sleep.
Take a look at the Arm’s Reach Clear-Vue Cosleeper if you’re not sure about the dangers of co-sleeping. This bassinet-style co sleeper offers a safe and secure environment for sleeping by securing directly to the bed’s side and a barrier that lets you view and reach your baby.
Comfort
It’s crucial that your baby rests comfortably, no matter what type of sleeper you select. This means that you must ensure that the crib is sturdy and flat with no gaps between the mattress and the baby’s sleeping surface. Some bedside co sleepers use soft padding or soft surfaces that could put your infant at risk of SIDS. For this reason, we recommend using a mattress cover to stop any sagging or gaps.
Breathability is another aspect to think about. Certain models we reviewed come with mesh sides that have air-tight mesh that lets your baby breathe while remaining safe. There are other models too, such as the Baby Delight or HALO BassiNest essencetia also offer great ventilation.
A final consideration is whether or not your bedside mattress has a tilt option, which can be helpful for babies with reflux or digestive issues. Some of the top options we found, such as the HALO BassiNest Swivel Sleeper 3.0 have a slight tilt, which could be beneficial for your baby, while minimizing the risk of suffocation and falling.
Some parents prefer a bassinet attached to their bed, while others prefer a bed that is attached to the bed. These models are attached to the bed of the parent, allowing them to easily reach their newborn for middle-of-the-night feedings and comforting. Bedside sleepers can also be employed as a part of a secure co-sleeping practice known as rooming-in. It reduces the risk of sudden infant deaths and promotes bonding between parents and infants.
In the end, it’s down to each family to decide what is right for them. We hope that this guide was helpful when you are searching for the perfect baby bedside sleeper for your infant. No matter if you opt for a bedside co sleeper or a regular bassinet, ensure you adhere to the safe sleeping guidelines that are recommended by the AAP to avoid possible dangers. Good luck!

When you are choosing a bedside sleeper, choose one that folds up easily and serves multiple purposes. Some options can be converted into a play area or a larger bassinet. You should also consider the quality of the mattress as a lot of models utilize polyurethane foam.
