Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

Newborn twins sleep best when close to each other, but it's important to adhere to safe sleeping guidelines. A proper crib arrangement can help your twins establish an established routine for sleeping.

A double bassinet that has an divider is a great option for twins. These portable beds allow parents to keep their children close during mid-night feedings and diaper changes. These beds are also great for babies who might outgrow their baby bassinets before they reach the age of toddlerhood.

Space-Saving

Twins can sleep together in a bedside cots uk cot, provided you adhere to safe guidelines for sleeping (that's to say that they should lie on their backs with the tops of their heads touching each other, and their feet on opposite sides of the cot). They can also sleep together in a Moses basket or a crib once they're big enough.

It also comes with a travel bag. It's also less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

Many parents of twins may be tempted to place their babies in one crib or bassinet however, this is not recommended. Rednose recommends that twins have their own secure sleeping space (crib, portable crib, or bassinet) in the room of the parents or caregivers until they reach the age of 12 months old to lower the chance of SIDS. This arrangement is also known as co-bedding. It has been found that twins who are used to this sleeping environment will typically have a more synchronized sleep pattern than twins who sleep in separate rooms.

One of the most efficient methods to accomplish this is to use twin bedside cot bed cots, like the Teknum FELLOW 2, that comes with two separate bedding sets so every baby can have a personal and comfortable space. This bedside cot for twins cot is also easily moved from one room to another depending on the need. It offers a convenient and easy way to check on your babies without disrupting their sleep or wake them up.

Double bassinets are a different option. They permit infants to sleep side-by-side and are perfect for feedings and diaper changes in the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, features an air-tight mesh divider and adjustable height so that each child is visible and reachable at all times, while the sides of the sleeper are raised and lower to make it easy to access. If you're looking for a more affordable alternative, the Walmart-exclusive Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet is similar, with two sleeping zones separated by mesh panels that allow babies to see one another and the entire mattress swivels 360 degrees for easy access to each infant.

Many parents have discovered that bedding twins together with moses baskets or a small bedside cot bassinette could be a good option for situations that are temporary, such as a hospital stay or a family visit. However it is recommended to do this only under the supervision of a healthcare provider to ensure that the babies are properly placed in a cot, with their feet at the floor of the cot and their bedding securely tucked in, to prevent them from being suffocated.

Safety

When twins are sleeping together, the most important security feature is that each infant has their own space to sleep in. This ensures that each infant is not smothered or otherwise choked by the other. It also helps prevent cot deaths, which are more frequent with single infants than multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that tritons, twins, and higher-ordered triplets have their own sleeping area. The best method to achieve this is with a separate bassinet or twin bedside cots that can be placed close to your bed when you're feeding or soothing one of the babies during the night.

While the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to reduce the SIDS risk by encouraging room sharing and disabling cobedding, many families with multiples and twins find it difficult to follow these guidelines (1). A previous study documented that the majority of families with twins who were cobedded during the first three months at home, used unsafe sleeping practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins might not adhere to 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. Additionally the socioeconomic standing of a family can affect their sleep arrangements.

If twins are placed side-by-side in a small crib or Moses basket, they may easily be entangled by their bedding and potentially choke on one another. If you decide to sleep your twins in the same cot, it is important to put them in a head-to-foot position and have their bedding secured in the cots to reduce the possibility of them colliding with each one.

Comfort

Being welcomed by twins or multiples to the world is a major life change. They require a lot of thought and preparation especially when it comes to where they will sleep and how they will get a good night's rest. Parents often wonder what they can do to make their children feel comfortable from an early age.

It is possible for twins to share a cot when they are very small. This is referred to as co-bedding, and can provide great comfort to newborns as it reminds them of the mother's womb.

It is also important to remember that the baby who wakes first must be fed. It is helpful to coordinate nighttime feeds so that you can get one up before the other.

It is crucial to remember that twins are distinct and may develop their own sleeping patterns. It could be that one baby is waking more frequently than the other or they prefer to be close to you. In this situation it may be beneficial for twins to have their own crib or bassinet in their room.
