Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

It's best to keep twins who are just born close to each other however, you must follow safety sleeping guidelines. The right crib arrangement can help your twins develop an established routine for sleeping.

A double bassinet with an divider is the ideal choice for twins. These beds can be used to keep their children close during diaper changes and mid-night feedings. These beds are also great for babies who might outgrow their baby bassinets when they reach the age of toddlerhood.

Space-Saving

As long as you follow the safe sleeping guidelines, twins can sleep in a bedside crib side-by-side. They should be positioned on their backs with their heads in a straight line and their feet at opposite ends. When they're big enough, they can also share a bed in a Moses Basket or regular crib.

We love this Delta double bassinet. It has a mesh divider to keep babies separate, yet close to each the other. It comes with a handy storage compartment that can keep snacks and wipes close by and also snacks. It is also foldable, making it easier to move around the house and take on excursions.

The sides can be raised or lowered for easy access, and are secured for security. It is a little longer and heavier than other options but is great for the second-floor or grandparent's homes. It also comes with a carry-on bag. It's also a lot less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

It is not recommended that parents of twins place their babies in the same crib or bassinet. Instead, the group Rednose suggests that twins are given their own safe sleeping space (crib, bassinet or portable crib) in the parents' or caregiver's room until they are 12 months old to help reduce the chance of SIDS. This arrangement is also known as co-bedding and it has been observed that twins who have been accustomed to this sleep environment will typically have a more synchronized sleeping pattern than twins who sleep on their own.

One of the most convenient methods to accomplish this is with a twin bedside cot, like the Teknum FELLOW 2 that comes with two separate bedding sets so each baby has an individual and comfortable space. This bedside cot sale cot is able to easily be moved from room to room as required, and allows you to check on the babies without having to wake them up by re-entering their sleep zone or disrupting their rhythms.

Double bassinets are an alternative. They allow infants to sleep side-by-side and are ideal for diaper changes or feedings during the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, features a breathable mesh divider and a height that can be adjusted so that each baby can be seen 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 a more affordable option, the Walmart-exclusive Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet is similar, featuring two sleeping zones separated by mesh panels that allow babies to see one another and the entire bed can rotate 360 degrees to give an easy access to every infant.

For situations that are temporary 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 it is recommended to do this only under the supervision of a healthcare provider to ensure that the babies are placed properly in a cot, with their feet at the bottom of the cot for bedside and all bedding securely tucked in, to prevent them from suffocating.

Safety

The most important safety feature when it comes to twins is that both babies have their own sleeping space. This prevents the baby from being smothered, choked or otherwise being choking by the other. It also helps prevent deaths in the cot, which are more prevalent in infants with one parent than in multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that triplets, twins, and higher-order multiples have their own sleep space. This can be accomplished by using an additional bassinet, or twin bedside crib that you can put on your bed to feed or soothe one of the babies throughout the night.

While recent SIDS risk reduction recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics encourage room sharing with parents and disallow cobedding however, the reality is that many families with twins and higher-order multiples have difficulty complying with these guidelines (1). In a prior study, it was discovered that the majority of twin families that cobedded their children in the beginning of their life at home were engaged in dangerous sleep practices.

Parents of twins might not adhere to the current SIDS risk reduction guidelines because of a desire to extend their own sleep time and the inability to accommodate multiple cribs in the home. Additionally, socioeconomic status can affect family decisions about sleep arrangements.

If twins are put in a small Moses basket or crib, their bedding may easily get caught in their midst and they could choke on eachother. If you choose to put your twins in the same cot, make sure they are placed in a position that their feet are right next to their heads and that their bedding is tucked into each cot securely. This will reduce the chances of them choking on each other.

One of the safest and more comfortable alternatives for twins to sleep separately is a bedside bassinet like the Halo Bassinest Twin. The double bassinet comes with a mesh wall to separate twins and provide them with their own flat, safe sleeping surface. It can be swiveled 360 degrees, which means you can bring your baby closer to you without leaving your bed. The walls on the sides automatically lower and then return with each movement. It's easy to clean and fits into the standard twin bed frame. Check out the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet at Walmart. It has similar features to the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

Welcoming twins or multiples to the world is a huge life-changing. They require plenty of thought and preparation especially when it comes to where they will be sleeping and how they will get a good night's sleep. Parents often wonder what they can do to make their children feel more comfortable at an early age.

When twins are still young, they are able to share a cot. Co-bedding is a method for comforting newborns by reminding them of their womb. It is crucial to ensure that the beds are big enough for newborns to feel at ease without having to touch each other or roll around. You should also be aware that the baby who is the first to wake up should be fed. It is beneficial to coordinate nighttime feeds to ensure that you get one baby up before the other.

However, it is important to keep in mind that twins are distinct and may develop their own sleep patterns. You may find that one baby is more sleepy than the other or prefers to be close to you. In this instance, it might be best for twins to have their own bassinet or crib in their room.

When shopping for a twin bedside cot look for models that feature air-tight mesh dividers that create distinct sleeping spaces. This is crucial for infants who are at risk of heat stroke or for families in which mothers have had a c-section. Other helpful features include the reversible base, built-in storage space for toys and blankets, and easy-to-maneuver wheels. The Arm's Reach cot is an excellent option for these needs, as it offers an ample sleeping space and is designed with c-section moms in mind. The Graco Pack 'n Play or Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel are also alternatives, but they have a smaller sleeping space than the Arm's Reach cot.

It is not recommended to sleep with twins in the same bed as an adult even if they're close. This could increase the risk of SIDS and cause strangulation or suffocation. Instead it is recommended that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins have their own secure sleeping areas, such as bassinets or cribs, in their parents' rooms for the first six months.
