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 are considering co-sleeping, which the AAP warns against due to the risk of suffocation. Some parents want to be in a position to reach their child to change diapers or feeds in the middle of the night. A crib for a baby bedside is a great alternative to a crib or bassinet that is attached to the side of the parent's bed to provide secure, easy access. The MFM home testers were impressed by the stylish and functional look of this product.

When choosing a sleeping solution parents should weigh the pros and cons of bedside co-sleepers and standard bassinets. The most important aspect of a crib-side sleeper for babies is safety. Look for models with rigid frames that are breathable, with no loose parts that could create a choking hazard. A mattress that is breathable is vital, and consider models that can be machine-washed for easy cleaning. Make sure that the bed is firm and flat, with no blankets or pillows. This will decrease the risk of suffocation. The unit's accessibility from the bed of the parents is a further security consideration. This allows for easier evening feedings and better surveillance of the baby while they sleep. Some bassinets can be located so far away from the bed of the parents that they require a step to reach the sleeping area. Many parents also take into account the proximity of the bassinet to their bed when choosing between a co-sleeper and bassinet.
