When choosing a bedside sleeping device, safety, comfort, and convenience are the main aspects to take into consideration. Safety Many new parents and expectant mothers have chosen to cosleep which is also known as bed-sharing, in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that infants should sleep in the same room as their parents. bedside cot newborn says that sharing a room with a baby is safer than sleeping in the same bed as parents, as it reduces the chance of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). The AAP does not recommend bed-sharing however it does suggest that co-sleeping on a separate sleeping surface is a good option to decrease the risk of SIDS. This is why the introduction of the bedside cosleeper became so important to many families. A bedside cosleeper is a crib-like sleeper that attaches to an adult bed frame.

This could pose the risk of suffocation. It is essential that the attachment system of a bedside crib be examined to determine if it can withstand the force that could be imposed during the use of it, like parents rolling onto and off of the sleeper or a 25-lb. The attachment system, or the corners on the bedside cosleeper must be subjected to a horizontal force. The standard for bedside cribs is based on to the federal consumer product safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218) and performance requirements for fabric-sided closed openings. The mandatory requirements in the standard also address neck and head dangers of entrapment by requiring that after the application and release of 50 lbs.

Convenience Many parents have resisted cosleeping for fear of suffocation SIDS or the “Ferberization” process that forces children to sleep alone, anthropologists have long noted that the majority of mammals and primates as well as those living in non-Western societies, frequently cosleep. This is because babies are soothed when they hear the voice of their mother, and can also learn to self-soothe. The best bedside sleepers feature an innovative design that is attached to the side of any bed and can be swiveled for easy access for middle-of-the-night feedings or diaper changes.
