Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

It is best to keep your twins in the infant stage close together, but you should also follow safety sleeping guidelines. A proper crib arrangement can help your twins establish an established routine for sleeping.

A double bassinet that has a divider is a great option for twins. These portable beds let parents keep their infants close for diaper changes and mid-night feedings. They also work well for babies who may outgrow their bassinets before baby 2.

Space-Saving

If you follow the safe guidelines for sleeping, twins can be in a bedside crib side-by-side. They should sleep on their backs with their heads pointing towards each other and their feet at the opposite ends. They can also sleep together in a Moses basket or a crib once they're large enough.

We really love this Delta double bassinet. It features a mesh partition to allow babies to remain separate, yet close to each other. It also has a convenient storage compartment that can keep snacks and wipes in the vicinity as well. Additionally, it folds flat and makes it easy to move around the house or go on trips.

This EZ Fold Twin Bassinet, available at Walmart is swivelling to allow you to bring fussy twins nearer to you to feed them and calm them. The sides lower and raise to allow access and secure themselves to ensure your child's security. It's a little larger and heavier than other options, but it's great for second floors or grandparents houses, and it comes with its own travel bag. It's also much less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

While many parents of twins might be enticed to place their babies in one crib or bassinet, this is generally not recommended. Rednose recommends that twins have their own secure sleeping space (crib, portable crib, or bassinet) in the room of the parents/caregivers until they reach 12 months old to lower the risk for SIDS. This arrangement is also referred to as co-bedding and it has been observed that twins who have been accustomed to this type of sleeping environment generally have a more coordinated sleeping pattern than twins who sleep separately.

One of the most efficient methods to accomplish this is with a twin bedside cot like the Teknum FELLOW 2, which comes with two separate bedding sets to ensure that each baby has an area that is comfortable and private. The bedside baby bed cot can also be easily moved from one room to another as needed. It provides a convenient and easy way to check on your babies without disrupting their sleep or awakening them.

Other alternatives include double bassinets specially designed for infants that allow them to be side-by-side, and are perfect for mid-night feedings or diaper changes. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, comes with an air-tight mesh divider and adjustable height so that each baby can be seen and reached at all times, and the sides of the sleeper lower and raise to give easy access. Walmart's Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet, which is a cheaper alternative, comes with two sleep zones separated by a mesh panel, allowing babies to see each the other. The sleeper also swivels around 360 degrees, allowing easy access to the infants.

For temporary situations like a family visit or hospitalization, many parents have found the benefits of co-bedding twins using a large moses basket or small bassinette that has dividers. However it is recommended to do this only under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure that the babies are placed properly in a cot, with their feet at the foot of the cot and their bedding is securely tucked in to avoid them from becoming suffocating.

Safety

The most important security feature for twins is that each baby has their own space to sleep. This ensures that every infant is not smothered or otherwise infected by the other. It also helps prevent cot death, which is more prevalent in infants with one parent than in multiples.

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

While recent SIDS risk reduction guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics encourage room sharing with parents and avoid cobedding, the reality is that many families of twins and higher-order multiples aren't able to comply with these guidelines (1). In a prior study, it was discovered that the majority of twin families that co-bedded their children during the first three months of life at home engaged in unsafe sleeping habits.

Parents of twins may not adhere to current SIDS risk reduction recommendations due to a desire to increase their own sleep duration and the inability to accommodate multiple cribs at home. Additionally the socioeconomic status of a family could influence their choices regarding sleep arrangements.

If twins are placed in a small Moses basket or crib, their bedding could easily be pulled together and they could choke on eachother. If you're planning to put your twins in the same cot it is essential to place them in the feet-to-head position and their bedding tucked securely into the cots to reduce the possibility of them colliding with each other.

One of the safest and more convenient alternatives for twins to sleep independently is a bedside cot mattress bassinet like the Halo Bassinest Twin. This double bassinet comes with an insulated mesh wall that separates twins, giving them their own secure, flat sleep surface. It can be turned 360 degrees, meaning you can bring your child closer to you without having to leave your bed. The walls on the sides automatically lower and return with every movement. It's also easy to clean and fits into the standard twin bed frame. For a less expensive alternative, look into the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet, which is available at Walmart and offers similar features to the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

It is a major life change to welcome twins or multiples into the world. They require a lot of thought and preparation, not least when it comes to the place they will be sleeping and how they will get a good night's sleep. Parents often wonder what they can do to help their children feel comfortable from an early age.

When twins are still young, they are able to share one cot. Co-bedding is a method for comforting newborns by reminding them of their mother's womb. It is crucial to make sure that the beds are big enough to allow babies to feel comfortable without having to touch each the other or move around. Also, remember that the baby that awakes first must be fed. It is helpful to coordinate nighttime feeds so that you can awake one baby prior to the other.

It is crucial to remember that twins are very different and they might develop their own sleeping routines. You might find that one baby is more sleepy than the other or Bedside Cot for Twins prefers to be close to you. In this situation, it may be best to give each twin a separate crib or bassinet.

Find twin bedside travel cot cots that have breathable mesh dividers for sleeping areas that are separate. This is crucial for babies that are susceptible to overheating, or families with mothers who have had c-sections. Reversible bases and wheels that are easy to move are also beneficial features. The Arm's Reach cot, which is specifically designed for mothers with c-sections is a great option due to its large sleeping area and is easy to maneuver. The Graco Pack 'n Play or Fisher-Price's Easy Swaivel are both options, but have smaller sleeping spaces than the Arm's Reach cot.

Even if they're extremely close, it's not recommended for twins to share the bed with an adult. This could increase the risk of SIDS and lead to strangulation or suffocation. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins should be in their own bassinets or cribs in their parents' rooms for the first 6 months.
