Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

Twins who are just born sleep best close to one another However, it's crucial 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 choice for twins. These beds can be used as portable beds to let parents keep their babies near for middle-of-the-night feeds and diaper changes. These beds are also great for babies who might outgrow their bassinets for baby before they reach the age of toddlerhood.

Space-Saving

If you follow safe sleeping guidelines, twins are able to be in a foldable bedside crib crib side-by-side. They should sleep on their backs, with their heads touching and their feet at the opposite ends. Once they are big enough, they may also sleep together in a Moses Basket or a regular crib.

This Delta double bassinet comes with a mesh divider that allows babies to be separated, but still close. It also comes with a storage compartment for wipes and snacks. It can also fold, making it easier to move around the house or take on trips.

Another option is this EZ Fold Twin Bassinet from Walmart that swivels to bring the twins who are fussy closer to you for feedings and soothing. The sides are lowered and raised to allow access, and they secure themselves to ensure your child's safety. It's a bit heavier and longer than some other alternatives, but it's a great choice for grandparents' or second-floor homes and comes with a travel bag. It's also less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

It is not recommended that parents of twins put their babies in the same crib or bassinet. Rednose suggests that twins have their own safe sleeping space (crib, portable crib, or bassinet) in the room of the caregivers/parents until they reach 12 months to reduce the risk of SIDS. This arrangement is known as co-bedding. It has been demonstrated that twins who grew up in this environment have a more synchronized sleeping pattern.

A twin wooden bedside cot cot such as the Teknum FELLOW 2 is a fantastic method to accomplish this. It comes with two separate sets of bedding, so that each baby gets their own space. The bedside cot 6 months plus cot can also be easily moved from one room to the next when needed. It provides an easy and convenient way to check on your babies without disturbing their sleep patterns or wake them up.

Other options include double bassinets, which have been designed specifically for infants that allow them to be side-by-side, and are ideal for middle-of-the-night feedings or diaper changes. The Halo Bassinest Twin has a mesh panel that breathes and is adjustable in height to allow each baby to be easily accessible and visible at all times. The sides of the sleeper adjust to lower and raise for quick 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 a mesh panel that allows babies to view each other and the entire mattress is able to rotate 360 degrees, giving ease of access for each infant.

For situations that are temporary, such as an emergency family visit or hospital stay, many parents have found success in co-bedding twins in large moses baskets or a small bassinette that has dividers. However, this should be done only under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure that babies are properly positioned and with their feet towards the bottom of the cot and all bedding is securely tucked in to prevent them from suffocating.

Safety

The most important safety feature for twins is that they has their own space to sleep. This prevents every baby from being smothered, choked or otherwise choking by the other. This also helps to avoid cot deaths, which are more common with single babies than multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins, triplets and higher-order multiplications have their own sleep space. The best method to achieve this is by having a separate bassinet or twin bedside cot for twins cots that could be placed close to your bed while you're feeding or soothing one of the babies throughout the night.

While recent SIDS risk reduction recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics encourage room sharing with a parent and discourage cobedding but the reality is that a lot of families with twins and higher-order multiples have trouble adhering to these guidelines (1). A previous study found that the majority of families with twins who were cobedded during the first 3 months at home opted for unsafe sleep practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins may not follow the current SIDS risk reduction guidelines due to a desire extend their own sleep time and a lack of space to accommodate multiple cribs at home. In addition, the socioeconomic status of a family could influence their decisions about sleep arrangements.

If twins are placed in a small Moses basket or crib, their bedding can easily entangle them and they could choke on each other. If you decide to put your twins in the same cot together ensure they are placed in an area in which their feet are close to their heads and that their bedding is put into each cot securely. This will reduce the chance of them choking on each other.

One of the safer and more practical options for twins to sleep independently is a bassinet that sits beside the bed like the Halo Bassinest Twin. The double bassinet has a mesh wall that separates twins to give them each their own safe flat bed. It swivels a full 360 degrees so you can bring one of your children closer to you for feedings or calming while still in the comfort of your bed, and its side walls lower and automatically return with each movement. It is easy to clean, and fits in the standard twin-sized bed frame. If you're looking for a less expensive alternative, look into the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet available at Walmart. available at Walmart and comes with similar features as the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

The arrival of twins or multiples into the world is an enormous life altering. They require a lot of thought and preparation, not least in regards to where they will sleep and how they'll get a good night's rest. While the decisions regarding their future room can be made later in life, parents often wonder how they can help them get comfortable in the early stages.

When twins are very young, they can be able to share one crib. Co-bedding is a method for soothing newborns by reminding them of their womb. The most important thing is to make sure the beds are large enough to allow the infants to be comfortable without touching each other or rolling around. It is important to be aware that the baby who awakes first must be fed. It is beneficial to coordinate night feeds so that you can get one baby up before the other.

However, it is important to remember that twins are quite different and could develop their own sleep patterns. You may find that one baby is more sleepy than the other or prefers to be close to you. In this situation, it might be best for twins to have their own crib or bassinet in their room.

Look for twin bedside cots with mesh dividers that are breathable for separate sleeping areas. This is particularly important for babies that are more prone to overheating or families with c-section moms. Other beneficial features include the reversible base, built-in storage space for blankets and toys, and easy-to-use wheels. The Arm's Reach cot is an excellent option for this purpose, as it offers a large sleeping area and is designed with c-section moms in mind. Other options include 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 are very close. It is an increased risk of SIDS and can cause suffocation, strangulation or entrapment. Instead it is recommended that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins remain in their safe sleeping areas, such as bassinets or cribs, in their parents' rooms for the first six months.
