Choosing bedside cot newborn for Twins Twins in the newborn stage 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 a divider can be the ideal choice for twins. These portable beds let parents keep their infants close for diaper changes and feedings at night. These beds are also great for babies who may outgrow their bassinets by the time they reach toddlerhood. Space-Saving Twins can share a bed in a bedside crib, as long as you follow the safe guidelines for sleeping (that's to say that they should be lying on their backs, with the tops of their heads overlapping each other and their feet placed at opposite ends of the cot). When they're old enough, they may also share a bed in a Moses Basket or regular crib. This Delta double bassinet features a mesh partition that allows babies to be separated, but still close. It also has a pocket for storage for snacks and wipes. It folds flat, making it easy to move around the house or go on trips. This EZ Fold Twin Bassinet, available at Walmart, swivels so that you can bring fussy twins nearer to you to feed them and comfort them. The sides can be raised or lowered for easy access, and are locked in place for safety. It's a bit bigger and heavier than other models, but great for second floor or grandparent's homes. It also comes with a bag for travel. It's also a lot cheaper than the Halo Bassinest Twin. Convenience Many parents of twins may be tempted to place their babies in a single crib or bassinet however, this is not recommended. Instead the group Rednose suggests that twins be provided with their own private sleeping space (crib or bassinet or portable crib) in the parent/caregiver's room until they reach 12 months old to reduce the chance of SIDS. This arrangement is also referred to as co-bedding. It has been observed that twins who are accustomed to this sleeping environment will typically have a more synchronized sleep pattern than those who sleep on their own. One of the most convenient methods to accomplish this is to use twin bedside cots, like the Teknum FELLOW 2, that comes with two separate bedding sets to ensure that each baby can have a personal and comfortable space. This bedside cot is also easily moved from one room to the next when needed. It provides an easy and convenient method to monitor your baby without disturbing their sleep patterns or waking them up. Other alternatives include double bassinets which have been designed specifically for infants that allow them to stay side-by-side and are ideal for middle-of-the-night feedings or diaper changes. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, comes with an air-tight mesh divider and an adjustable height to ensure that every baby can be seen 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 more affordable alternative, comes with two sleep zones that are separated by a mesh panel, which allows babies to see each the other. The sleeper also swivels around 360 degrees to give easy access to infants. For temporary situations like an unexpected family visit or hospital stay, many parents have found the benefits of co-bedding twins using the large moses basket or small bassinette that has dividers. This should only be done with the supervision of by a healthcare professional. They will make sure that the infants are correctly placed on their feet at the foot of the crib and all bedding put in. Safety When it comes to twins sleeping together, the most important security factor is that each baby has their own space to sleep in. This ensures that each baby isn't smothered, or trapped by the other. It also helps to prevent the death of a cot, which is more common in single babies than in multiples. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins, triplets and higher-order multiples get their own sleep space. The best way to accomplish this is with an additional bassinet or twin bedside cot that can be positioned close to your bed when 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 parents and avoid cobedding but the reality is that many families with twins and higher-order multiples have trouble adhering to these guidelines (1). In a prior study, it was discovered that the majority of twin families that co-bedded their children in the first three months of their lives at home were engaged in dangerous sleeping habits. Parents of twins may not follow the current SIDS guidelines due to the desire to sleep longer and the absence of space in the home to accommodate multiple cribs. Additionally, socioeconomic status can affect family decisions about sleeping arrangements. If twins are placed in a small Moses basket or crib, their bedding may easily be pulled together and they could choke eachother. If you choose to sleep your twins together in the same cot it is essential to place them in a head-to-foot position and have their bedding tucked securely into each cot to limit their chances of smothering each other. One of the safer and more comfortable options for twins to sleep independently is a bedside bassinet like the Halo Bassinest Twin. The double bassinet comes with a mesh wall to divide twins and give them their own safe, flat sleeping surface. It rotates 360 degrees, allowing you to bring one of your children closer to you for feedings or soothing while still in the comfortable bed, and its sides lower and auto-return when you move. It's easy to clean and can be tucked away in the standard twin bed frame. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, consider the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet, which is available at Walmart and comes with similar features as the Halo Bassinest. Comfort Welcoming twins or multiples to the world is a major life-changing. Not least, they require a great deal of preparation and thought in regards to their sleeping arrangements and how they'll have a restful night. While decisions about their future bedroom space are made as they age, parents often wonder what they can do to help them to settle in the early stages. When twins are still young, they are able to share a cot. This is known as co-bedding and can provide excellent comfort for babies as it helps them remember the birthing process. It is essential to ensure that the beds are big enough to allow the babies to feel comfortable without having to touch one the other or move around. It is also important to remember that the baby who awakes first must be fed. It is helpful to coordinate night feeds so that you can awake one baby prior to the other. It is important to be aware that twins may have different sleeping routines. You may find that one baby is more sleepy than the other or prefers to be close to you. In this situation it may be beneficial for the twins to have their own crib or bassinet in their room. When you are looking for a twin bedside cot, look for models that feature ventilated mesh dividers that can create distinct sleeping areas. This is crucial for infants who are susceptible to heat stroke or for families where mothers have had a C-section. Reversible bases and wheels that are easy to maneuver are also beneficial features. The Arm's Reach cot is a great option for these needs, as it offers an ample sleeping space and is designed with moms who have c-sections in mind. Other options include the Graco Pack 'n Play and the Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel, however, they have less sleeping space than the Arm's Reach cot. Even if they're extremely close, it's not recommended to let twins share the bed with an adult. This increases the risk of SIDS, and can cause suffocation, strangulation or entrapment. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins sleep in their own bassinets or cribs in the parents' rooms for the first six months.
