15 Trends That Are Coming Up About Twin Bedside Cot
Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

Twins in the newborn stage sleep best close to one another, but it's important to follow safe sleeping recommendations. Selecting the best crib arrangement will aid in the development of a consistent routine of sleep.

A double bassinet that comes with a divider can be the ideal choice for twins. These beds can be used to keep their babies close for diaper changes as well as mid-night meals. They are also great for infants that may outgrow their bassinets before baby 2 years old.

Space-Saving

If you follow the safe sleeping guidelines, twins are able to 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. They can also sleep together in a Moses basket or a crib once they're big enough.

It also comes with a travel bag. It's also less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

Parents of twins might be enticed to put the twins 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, bassinet or portable crib) in the parent/caregiver's room until they reach 12 months old to reduce the chance of SIDS. This is referred to 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 make this work is by using a twin bedside cot, like the Teknum FELLOW 2 which comes with two separate bedding sets to ensure that each baby can have an individual and comfortable space. This bedside cot is able to easily be moved from room to room when required, and 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 another option. They permit infants to be side-by-side, and they're perfect for diaper changes or feedings in the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, comes with an air-tight mesh partition and adjustable height so that each child can be observed and reached at all times, and the sides of the sleeper are raised and lower to allow easy access. Walmart's Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet which is a less expensive option, has two sleep zones separated by a mesh, allowing babies to see each the other. The sleeper also swivels around 360 degrees, allowing easy access to infants.

For temporary situations like an unexpected family visit or hospital stay Many parents have had the benefits of co-bedding twins using large moses baskets or a small bassinette with divider. However it is recommended to do this only under the supervision of a healthcare provider to ensure that babies are placed properly in a cot, with their feet at the foot of the cot and all bedding is securely tucked in to prevent them from being suffocated.

Safety

The most important safety feature when it comes to twins is that they has their own space to sleep. This will prevent the baby from being smothered, choked or otherwise being choked by the other. It also helps prevent the death of a cot, which is more prevalent in infants with one parent than in multiples.

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 multiples and twins find it difficult to adhere to these guidelines (1). A previous study found that a majority of families of twins who were cobedded during the first three months at home opted for unsafe sleeping practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins may not adhere to current SIDS risk reduction recommendations due to a desire to extend their own sleep time and a lack of space to accommodate multiple cribs at home. Furthermore, socioeconomic status may influence family decisions regarding the arrangement of their sleep.

If twins are placed in a small Moses basket or crib, their bedding may easily be pulled together and they could choke on each other. If you decide to sleep your twins together in the same cot it's important to place them in a head-to-foot position and their bedding secured in the cots to reduce the chance of them smothering each other.

A bassinet that is positioned at the bedside, like the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the most secure and easier alternatives for twins who wish to sleep separately.

Comfort

It's a huge change to welcome twins or multiples into the world.

While decisions regarding their bedroom space can be taken as they age, parents often wonder how they can help them to feel comfortable in the beginning stages.

When twins are still young, they can be able to share a cot. This is known as co-bedding and can provide great comfort to newborns as it reminds them of the mother's womb. The most important thing is to ensure that the beds are large enough for the babies to be comfortable, without touching or bouncing around. It is important to remember that the baby that wakes up first must be fed. It is beneficial to coordinate feeding times at night so that you can wake up one baby before the other.

It is crucial to remember that twins are very different and they might develop their own sleep routines. You may find that one baby is more sleepy than the other or prefers to be near you. In this instance it may be beneficial for twins to have their own crib or bassinet in their room.

Choose a cot with twin beds that have breathable mesh dividers to create separate sleeping areas. This is particularly important for babies more prone to overheating or for families with c-section mothers. Reversible bases and wheels that are easy to move are also helpful features. The Arm's Reach cot, designed for c-section mothers is a great option due to its large sleeping space and is easy to move. 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.

It is not recommended to sleep with twins in the same bed with an adult even if they're close. This can increase the risk of SIDS and lead to suffocation or strangulation.
