Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

Newborn twins sleep best when close to each other It's vital to adhere to safe sleeping guidelines. The right crib arrangement can help your twins develop an established routine for sleeping.

A double bassinet with an divider is a great option for twins. These beds can be used as portable beds to allow parents to keep their babies near for feedings in the middle of the night and diaper changes. They also work well for infants who might outgrow their bassinets before baby 2 years old.

Space-Saving

As long as you follow safe sleeping guidelines, twins can sleep in a crib that is bedside side-by-side. They should be placed on their backs, with their heads touching and their feet at the opposite ends. They can also sleep together in a Moses basket or regular crib once they're big enough.

This Delta double bassinet features a mesh divider that allows children to be separated but still close. It has a handy storage pocket to keep wipes and snacks nearby, too. It's also foldable making it easy to move around the house and take on excursions.

Another option is this EZ Fold Twin Bassinet from Walmart that swivels to bring your twins' fluttery little ones closer to you for feedings and calming. The sides can be raised and lowered for easy access, and are locked to ensure security. It's a bit heavier and longer than some other options, but it's perfect for second floors or grandparents houses 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 sleep their babies in the same crib or bassinet. Rednose suggests that twins have their own safe sleeping area (crib or portable crib or bassinet) in the room of the parents or caregivers until they reach the age of 12 months old to lower the risk for SIDS. This arrangement is also known as co-bedding. It has been observed that twins who are accustomed to this type of sleeping environment often form a more synchronized sleep pattern than those who sleep on their own.

One of the most convenient ways to make this work is by using a twin bedside cot used cot, like the Teknum FELLOW 2 which comes with two separate bedding sets, so that each baby can have an individual and comfortable space. This bedside cot can also easily be moved from room to room when necessary, and also makes it easy to monitor the baby without having to wake them by re-entering their sleeping zone or disrupting their sleep patterns.

Double bassinets are a different option. They allow infants to sleep side-by-side and are perfect for diaper changes or feedings in the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin has a mesh panel that is breathable and adjustable in height to allow each infant to be seen and reachable at all times. The sides of the sleeper also lower and raise to allow for easy access. If you're looking for a more affordable option, 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 bed is able to rotate 360 degrees, giving easy access to each infant.

For temporary situations like an unexpected family visit or hospitalization, many parents have found the benefits of co-bedding twins using large moses baskets or a small bassinette that has dividers. This should only be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider. They will make sure that the babies are appropriately placed, with their feet at the bottom of the crib, and all bedding is tucked into.

Safety

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

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that tritons, twins and higher-ordered multiples have their own space to sleep in. This can be done by using an additional bassinet, or twin bedside crib that you can bring up to your bed to feed or soothe one of the babies during the night.

Although the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to decrease the SIDS risk by encouraging room sharing and avoiding cobedding, many families of twins and multiples find it difficult to follow these guidelines (1). A previous study revealed that a large majority of families with twins who were cobedded during the first 3 months at home used unsafe sleep practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins may not adhere to current SIDS guidelines due to a desire to sleep longer and a lack of space at home to accommodate multiple cribs. Additionally the socioeconomic standing of a family may influence their decisions about the arrangement of their sleep.

When twins are placed side-by-side in a tiny crib or Moses basket, they can easily become entangled by their bedding and potentially choke on each other. If you decide to place your twins in the same cot ensure they are placed in an area that their feet are right next to their heads, and that their bedding is put into the cots securely. This will lessen the chance of them choking on each other.

A bassinet that is positioned at the bedside cot sale, like the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the safer and easier alternatives for twins who wish to be able to sleep independently.

It's also easy to clean and fits in the standard twin bed frame. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, look into the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet available at Walmart. available at Walmart and offers similar features as the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

It is a major life change to welcome twins or multiples into the world. Not least, they require a great deal of planning and thinking in regards to their sleeping arrangements and how they will get a good night's sleep. While the decisions regarding their future bedroom space can be taken when they are older parents are often unsure of how they can help their children get comfortable in the early stages.

When twins are young, they are able to share a crib. This is known as co-bedding and can provide great comfort to newborns as it helps them remember the womb. It is important to ensure that the beds are big enough for babies to be comfortable without touching or rolling around. You should also be aware that the baby who is the first to wake up must be fed. It can be beneficial to co-ordinate night feeds to ensure that you wake one up earlier than the other.

It is important to be aware that twins may have different sleep patterns. You might find that one of them wakes more than the other, or they prefer to be closer to you. In this case it could be beneficial for twins to have their own bassinet or crib in their room.

Look for twin bedside crib travel cots that have breathable mesh dividers for sleeping areas that are separate. This is essential for babies who are susceptible to heat stroke or families whose mothers have had a C-section. Other useful features include an adjustable base, built-in storage space for blankets and toys, as well as easy-to-maneuver wheels.

Other options include the Graco Pack 'n Play and the Fisher-Price Easy Swivel however, they have smaller sleeping areas than the Arm's Reach cot.

Even if they're very close, it is not recommended for twins to share the bed with an adult. This could increase the risk of SIDS and result in strangulation or suffocation. Instead it is recommended that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins remain in their safe sleeping areas, such as cribs or bassinets, in their parents' rooms for the first six months.
