Many new parents and pregnant mothers have chosen to cosleep or bed-sharing, as per the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that infants should sleep in the same room as their parents. The Academy says that sharing a room with a baby is less risky than sleeping in the same bed as a parent because it reduces the chance of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SIDS). The AAP doesn't recommend bed sharing however, it does suggest that co-sleeping on a separate sleeping surface is a good way to reduce the risk of SIDS. This is the reason why the creation of the bedside cosleeper became so important to many families.
A bedside cosleeper is a crib-like sleeper that can be attached to an adult bed frame. The bedside cosleeper enables parents to easily monitor their child, and it gives them the ability to move around in sleeping in a bed while keeping their baby close to them. The best cosleepers are built using high-quality materials and adhere to strict safety standards. To ensure the safety of your child ensure that you look for the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association stamp of approval. This is a sign of rigorous testing and quality control.
The safety of a cosleeper is contingent on a variety of factors. It is dependent on the way it's put in place and secured onto the mattress of the parent. If the bedside cosleeper is not connected to the parent's bed in a way that blocks the gaps and spaces where the infant can get trapped, it could pose the risk of suffocation. It is vital that the attachment system used for the bedside travel crib sleeper be examined to make sure that it is able to withstand any forces that are applied during use, for example the parent rolling on and off the sleeper. The attachment system or the corners on the bedside cosleeper must be tested against an upward force.
The voluntary standard for bedside beds incorporates by reference the federal consumer safety standard for products such as bassinets and cradles (16 CFR part 1218) and includes requirements for performance for enclosed openings made of fabric. The standard's mandatory requirements deal with the risk of head and neck traps by requiring after the application, release a 50-lb. The standard also states that following the release and application of a 50-lb. cannot be created. Only read-only copies of the standard can be found at ASTM's online Reading Room.
Convenience
Many parents avoid cosleeping because they fear the risk of suffocation, or SIDS or because it is an act of "Ferberization" which requires children to sleep alone. However, anthropologists have noticed for a long time that many mammals, primates and people from other cultures sleep frequently. It could be because infants are soothed by the familiar voice of their mother and it can also help to practice self-soothing.
The best bedside sleepers feature clever designs that are attached on the side of any mattress and can swivel so that you can easily reach it to change diapers or feeds during the middle of the night. Look for one with feet that are adjustable and retract to accommodate different mattress sizes, and a big storage compartment to store all of your baby's necessities.
Choose a bedside crib that fits the standard crib bedding, so that it is safe to use as your child grows. Look for a model that is convertible and can be used as a play area, or a deeper bassinet. It will last for many years.

Depending on the size of your bedroom, a bedside sleeping system with wheels and/or a light base might be easier to move around the house than one with a heavy wood frame or massive base. The babybay bedside sleeper, HALO bassiNest essencetia and Snoo Smart Sleeper are all portable.
