Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

Twins who are just born sleep best close to one another It's vital to adhere to the safe sleep guidelines. The right crib arrangement can help your twins establish the same routine of sleeping.

A double bassinet that comes with an divider is the ideal choice for twins. These portable beds let parents keep their babies near for middle-of-the-night feeds and diaper changes. They also work well for infants who might outgrow their bassinets before baby 2.

Space-Saving

Twins can sleep together in a bedside baby bed cot, so long as you follow safe sleeping guidelines (that's to say they should be laid on their backs, with the tops of their heads facing each other, and their feet on opposite sides of the cot). They can also sleep together in a Moses basket or regular crib when they're old enough.

We love this Delta double bassinet, which has a mesh divider to allow babies to remain separate, yet close to each the other. It has a handy storage compartment that can keep snacks and wipes close by, too. It folds flat making it easy to move around the house or take on trips.

Another alternative is this EZ Fold Twin Bassinet from Walmart that swivels to bring your twins' fluttery little ones closer to you for feeding and soothing. The sides can be raised and lowered for access and are secured to ensure security. It's a little larger and heavier than other options, but it's great for grandparents' or second-floor homes and comes with a travel bag. It's also a lot less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

Parents of twins may be tempted to place their babies in a single crib or bassinet however, this is not recommended. Rednose suggests that twins have their own secure sleeping area (crib, portable crib, or bassinet) in the room of the caregivers/parents until they reach 12 months to reduce the risk for SIDS. This arrangement is known as co-bedding. It has been shown that twins who have grown up in this environment develop a more coordinated sleeping patterns.

A twin bedside cots cot, such as the Teknum FELLOW 2 is a great way to accomplish this. It includes two sets of bedding so that each baby has their own personal space. The bedside cot 6 months plus cot can easily be moved from room to room as necessary, and also makes it easy to check on babies without having to wake them up by re-entering their sleeping space or disrupting their routines.

Double bassinets are an alternative. They allow infants to be side-by-side, and are ideal for feedings and diaper changes in the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, comes with an air-tight mesh divider and an adjustable height to ensure that each child can be observed and reached at all times, and the sides of the sleeper can be raised and lowered to allow easy access. If you're looking for an affordable alternative, the Walmart-exclusive Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet is similar, featuring two separate sleeping zones, separated by a mesh panel that allows babies to view each other and the entire bed swivels 360 degrees for easy access to each infant.

Many parents have discovered that bedding twins in a moses basket, or a small bassinette, can be a good solution in situations of a short duration, such as a hospital stay or a family visit. This should only be done with the supervision of by a healthcare professional. They will make sure that the babies are properly placed on their feet at the foot of the crib, and all bedding put in.

Safety

The most important safety feature when it comes to twins is that both babies has their own space to sleep. This prevents the baby from being smothered, choked or otherwise being choked by the other. It also helps prevent deaths in cots, which are more common with single babies than multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that tritons, twins and higher-ordered multiples have their own sleeping space. This can be accomplished by using an individual bassinet or a twin bedside crib travel cot crib you can put on your bed to feed or sooth one of the babies throughout the night.

Although the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to decrease the risk of SIDS by encouraging room sharing and discouraging cobedding, many families of multiples and twins find it difficult to adhere to these guidelines (1). In a previous study, it was found that the majority of twin families that co-bedded their children in the first three months of their lives at home engaged in unsafe sleep practices.

Parents of twins may not follow the current SIDS risk reduction guidelines because of a desire to prolong their own sleep and a lack of space to accommodate multiple cribs in the home. In addition, socioeconomic status could affect family decisions about the arrangement of their sleep.

If twins are placed in a small Moses basket or crib, their bedding can easily entangle them and they could choke eachother. If you're planning to sleep your twins together in the same cot it's important to place them in the position of feet-to-head and their bedding tucked securely into the cots to reduce the possibility of them colliding with each one.

A bassinet for bed, such as the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the safer and more convenient alternatives for twins who wish to sleep in a separate bed. The double bassinet features a mesh wall to divide twins and give them their own flat, safe mattress to sleep on. It can rotate 360 degrees to bring your baby closer to you for feedings or to soothe without leaving the comfort of your bed, and its side walls lower and auto-return with each movement. It is easy to clean, and can be tucked away into a standard twin-sized bed frame. Check out the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet at Walmart. It has similar features to the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

Being welcomed by twins or multiples to the world is a major life-changing. They also require a great deal of planning and thinking regarding their sleeping arrangements and how they can have a restful night. While decisions about their future room can be made later in life parents often ask what they can do to help them to settle in the early stages.

It is possible for twins to share a single cot when they are very small bedside cot. This is known as co-bedding and can provide great comfort to newborns as it brings them back to the womb. The most important thing is to ensure that the beds are big enough to allow the infants to feel comfortable without touching each other or rolling around. It is important to be aware that the baby who wakes up first should be fed. It can be helpful to coordinate feeding times at night so that you can wake one up before the other.

However, it is important to keep in mind that twins are very different and they might have their own sleep routines. You might find that one baby is more sleepy than the other or prefers to be near you. In this situation it may be beneficial for twins to have their own crib or bassinet in their room.

Choose a cot with twin beds with breathable mesh dividers for separate sleeping areas. This is especially important for babies who are susceptible to overheating, or families with mothers who have had c-sections. Other useful features include the reversible base, built-in storage space for blankets and toys, and easy-to-maneuver wheels. The Arm's Reach cot is a great option for these needs, as it offers an ample sleeping space and is designed with c-section moms in mind. Other options are the Graco Pack 'n Play and the Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel but they have a smaller sleeping area than the Arm's Reach cot.

It is not recommended that twins sleep in the same bed with an adult even if they're close. This could increase the risk of SIDS and lead to suffocation or strangulation. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins be in their own bassinets or cribs in their parents' room for the first six months.
