Peace of Mind

Co-sleeping is a great parenting option. Many parents are concerned that sleeping next to their child increases the risk of SIDS. However studies like those published by NHS suggest the reverse. It is crucial to remember that co-sleeping requires sharing the same sleeping surface and can therefore increase the risk of SIDS if it's not carried out correctly. Co-sleeping beds in cots are designed to provide an appropriate space between bed-sharing and separate sleeping surfaces which allows parents to be able to reach out over their child and gently nurse or comfort them, without leaving the comfort of their bed.

Babies sleep best when they are fed and comforted regularly, but exhausted parents can find it difficult to leave their beds in order to feed or comfort their children. A bedside cot co sleeper lets parents keep their baby at a distance and avoid having to leave their bed. The unique design of some co sleepers, such as the SnuzPod also permits the four walls to zip down and turn the co-sleeper into a cradle that has an extra layer of protection that allows tired parents to keep an eye on their baby while still in their bed.

It is important to keep in mind that the risk of SIDS increases when smoking by a parent (even with a co-sleeper) and when drinks or substances are consumed even in small amounts. Co-sleeping with a child is not recommended when the parent has an history of sleeping through the night. The NHS recommends ensuring that babies are placed to sleep on their backs in order to minimize the risk of accidental rolling and the risk of suffocation. The safest option is to utilize a cot at the bedside rocking crib (description here) or bassinet.

Safety

While co-sleeping is a common practice in a variety of countries, the NHS advises that infants should sleep in their own cot rather than sharing a bed. This is because of the increased risk of overheating or suffocation. When a baby is in bed with their parents are more likely covered by blankets, pillows or sheets. This could lead to SIDS. A crib that is placed near the bed can be a great solution. The close proximity to parents will ensure that the child is not being suffocated or overheated, while being capable of being easily reached for night-time feedings and comforting.

Parents from all over the world were eagerly awaiting thssinet is a safer alternative. They are designed to be attached to the sides of parents' bed, keeping baby in reach to feed at night and relaxing. This means that tired parents aren't forced to leave their own sleeping areas during the night and can keep an eye on their child while still getting a goodnight's sleep.

Children who sleep in separate bedrooms are more likely than other children to suffer breathing pauses (apnoea) and also are at a higher risk of SIDS. Research has proven that babies sleep better when they're in close to their parents. Being a co-sleeper also means that you are able to swiftly respond to any issues and reassure them, so they are more comfortable.
