Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins
Twins who are just born sleep best close to one another, but it's important to follow safe sleeping recommendations. The proper crib arrangement will help your twins develop the same routine of sleeping.
A double bassinet with a divider can be the ideal choice for twins. These beds can be used as portable beds to let parents keep their babies near for feedings in the middle of the night and diaper changes. They are also great for infants that may outgrow their bassinets before 2.
Space-Saving
Twins can sleep together in a bedside travel crib cot provided you adhere to safe guidelines for sleeping (that's to say that they should be lying on their backs with the tops of their heads touching each other and their feet placed at opposite ends of the cot). Once they are big enough, they can also sleep together in a Moses Basket or a regular crib.
We love this Delta double bassinet, which includes a mesh divider, to allow babies to remain separated but still close to one other. It comes with a handy storage pocket to keep snacks and wipes close by, too. It's also foldable bedside crib which makes it easy to move around the house or take on excursions.
This EZ Fold Twin Bassinet, available at Walmart is swivelling so that you can bring fussy twins nearer to you to feed them and soothe them. The sides can be lowered and raised for easy access and are locked in place for security. It's a bit heavier and longer than some other alternatives, but it's a great choice for second floors or grandparent homes and comes with its own travel bag. It's also less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.
Convenience
It is not recommended that parents of twins place their babies in the same bassinet or crib. 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 in order to reduce the risk of SIDS. This is known as co-bedding. It has been demonstrated that twins who grew in this environment have a more synchronized sleeping pattern.
One of the easiest ways to achieve this is with twin bedside cots, like the Teknum FELLOW 2, that comes with two separate bedding sets to ensure that each baby has an individual and comfortable space. This wooden bedside cot cot is also easily moved from one room to the next depending on the need. It is an easy and convenient method to check on your children without disturbing their sleep patterns or waking them up.
Other options include double bassinets that have been specifically designed to allow the infants to remain side-by-side and are ideal for middle-of-the-night feeding or changing diapers. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, comes with an air-tight mesh divider and a height that can be adjusted so that each baby can be observed and reached at all times, and the sides of the sleeper lower and raise to make it easy to access. Walmart's Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet which is a less expensive alternative, has two sleeping zones separated by a mesh, allowing babies to see each other. The sleeper also rotates around 360 degrees to allow easy access to the infants.
For temporary situations like an unexpected family visit or hospitalization, 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 medical professional to ensure that babies are properly placed and with their feet towards the bottom of the cot and all bedding properly tucked in to avoid them from becoming suffocating.
Safety
When it comes to twins sleeping together, the most important safety feature is that each baby has his or her own sleep space.
