Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

It's best to keep newborn twins close together However, you must adhere to safety sleep guidelines. A proper crib arrangement can help your twins establish an established routine for sleeping.

A double bassinet that comes with an divider is an ideal option for twins. These portable beds let parents keep their children close during feedings in the middle of the night and diaper changes. They are also great for infants who might outgrow their bassinets before baby 2.

Space-Saving

Twins can sleep together in a bedside co sleeper cot as long as you follow the safe guidelines for sleeping (that's to say that they should lie on their backs, with the tops of their heads overlapping each other and their feet placed at opposite sides of the cot). When they're big enough, they may also sleep together in a Moses Basket or regular crib.

We love this Delta double bassinet. It features a mesh partition so that babies can stay separate but close to each and each other. It also comes with a storage compartment for snacks and wipes. It is also foldable which makes it easy to move around the home and travel with on trips.

This EZ Fold Twin Bassinet, available at Walmart is swivelling so that you can bring your twins closer to you to feed them and comfort them. The sides can be raised and lowered to allow access and secure themselves to ensure your child's security. It's a bit heavier and longer than some other alternatives, but it's a great choice for second floors or grandparents homes and 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 sleep the babies together in one crib or bassinet however, this is not recommended. Instead, the group Rednose recommends that twins be given their own safe sleeping space (crib or bassinet, or a portable crib) in the room of the parent or caregiver until they reach 12 months old to help reduce the risk of SIDS. This arrangement is known as co-bedding. It has been proven that twins who grew up in this environment have a more synchronized sleeping patterns.

One of the most efficient ways to achieve this is by using a twin bedside baby bed cot, like the Teknum FELLOW 2, which comes with two separate bedding sets so each baby can have an area that is comfortable and private. The bedside cot can also be easily moved from one room to the next when needed. It provides a convenient and easy way to check on your babies without disrupting their sleep or wake them up.

Other options include double bassinets, which have been designed specifically for infants that allow them to stay side-by-side and are perfect for mid-night feeds or diaper changes. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, comes with an air-tight mesh divider and adjustable height so that every baby can be observed and reached at all times, while the sides of the sleeper can be raised and lowered to make it easy to 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 mattress swivels 360 degrees for easy access to each infant.

Many parents have found that co-bedding twins with moses baskets, or a small bassinette, can be a good solution for situations that are temporary, such as a hospital stay or a family visit. This should only be done under the supervision by a healthcare professional. They will make sure that the babies are properly placed in a crib with their feet placed at the foot of the crib, and all bedding is tucked into.

Safety

The most important safety aspect when it comes to twins is that both babies have their own bed. This ensures that each baby is not smothered or Bedside Cot for Twins otherwise trapped by the other. It also helps prevent the death of a cot, which is more prevalent in infants with one parent than in multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins, tritons and higher-ordered multiples have their own sleeping area. The best method to achieve this is with an additional bassinet or twin bedside crib that turns into cot cots that could be positioned close to your bed while you're feeding or soothing one of the babies throughout the night.

Although recent SIDS risk reduction recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics encourage room sharing with a parent and discourage cobedding, the reality is that a lot of families of twins and other higher-order multiples aren't able to comply with these guidelines (1). A previous study documented that a large majority of families of twins who were cobedded during the first 3 months at home, used unsafe sleep practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins may not follow the current SIDS guidelines due to the desire to sleep longer and lack of space in their home to accommodate multiple cribs. Additionally the socioeconomic status of a family could affect their sleeping arrangements.

If twins are placed side-by-side in a tiny crib or Moses basket, they can easily get caught in their bedding and potentially choke on each other. If you decide to place your twins in the same cot ensure that they are in a position that their feet are right next to their heads, and that their bedding is put into each cot securely. This will reduce the possibility of them colliding on each one.

One of the safest and more practical options for twins to be able to sleep separately is a bedside bassinet like the Halo Bassinest Twin. This double bassinet features mesh walls that separate twins so that they each have their own secure, flat sleep surface. It rotates 360 degrees, allowing you to bring one of your babies closer to you for feedings or soothing without having to leave the comfortable bed. Its side walls lower and automatically return when you move. It's also easy to clean and fits in a standard twin bed frame. Take a look at the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet at Walmart. It comes with the same features as the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

It's a significant life change to welcome twins or multiples into the world. They require a lot of planning and thought especially when it comes to where they will be sleeping and how they will get a restful night's sleep. Parents often wonder what they can do to make their children feel at ease at an early age.

It is possible for twins to share a crib when they are small. Co-bedding is a method for helping newborns feel at ease by bringing them back to their mother's womb. The key is to ensure that the beds are big enough to allow the infants to be comfortable without touching each other or rolling around. Also, keep in mind that the baby who awakes first should be fed. It is helpful to coordinate feeding times at night so that you can get one up before the other.

However, it is important to keep in mind that twins are quite different and could have their own sleep routines. You might find that one of them wakes more than the other, or prefers to be close to you. In this instance it may be beneficial for the twins to share their own bassinet or crib in their room.

Find twin bedside cots with mesh dividers that are breathable to create separate sleeping areas. This is particularly important for babies who are more prone to overheating or for families with mothers who have had c-sections. Other helpful features include a reversible base, built-in storage space for blankets and toys, as well as easy-to-use wheels. The Arm's Reach cot is an excellent option for these needs because it has a spacious sleeping area and is designed with mothers who have c-sections in mind. The Graco Pack 'n Play or Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel are also options, but offer smaller sleeping spaces than the Arm's Reach cot.

Even if they're extremely close, it's not recommended that twins share a bed with an adult. This can increase the risk of SIDS and result in suffocation or strangulation. Instead it is recommended that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins have their own secure sleeping areas, such as cribs or bassinets, in their parent's room for the first six months.
