Choosing a 4-in-1 bedside crib Cot for Twins

Twins in the newborn stage sleep best close to one another, but it's important to follow safe sleeping recommendations. A proper crib arrangement can help your twins establish a consistent sleeping routine.

A double bassinet that comes with a divider can be an ideal option for twins. These beds can be used to keep their children close during diaper changes and mid-night feedings. They are also ideal for babies who may outgrow their bassinets before 2 years old.

Space-Saving

Twins can share a bed in a bedside cot 6 months plus crib, so long as you follow the safe sleeping guidelines (that's to say that they should lie on their backs with the tops of their heads facing each other and their feet placed at opposite sides of the cot). They can also share a bed in a Moses basket or a crib when they're old enough.

We love this Delta double bassinet, which features a mesh partition to allow babies to remain separate, yet close to each the other. It also comes with a storage compartment for wipes and snacks. It folds flat and makes it easy to move around the house or on trips.

This EZ Fold Twin Bassinet, available at Walmart, swivels to allow you to bring fussy twins nearer to you to feed them and calm them. The sides can be raised and lowered to make it easier to access them and they are locked in place for security. It is a little longer and heavier than the other options, but great for second-floor or homes for grandparents. 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 sleep their babies in the same crib or bassinet. Rednose suggests that twins have their own secure sleeping space (crib or portable crib or bassinet) in the room of the caregivers/parents until they reach 12 months old to lower the chance of SIDS. This is known as co-bedding. It has been demonstrated that twins who have grown in this type of environment develop a more synchronized sleeping patterns.

One of the most convenient methods to accomplish this is to use a twin bedside crib with wheels cot, like the Teknum FELLOW 2, that comes with two distinct bedding sets to ensure that each baby has an individual and comfortable space. This bedside cot is also easily moved from one room to the next when needed. It is an easy and convenient method to check on your babies without disrupting their sleep or awakening them.

Double bassinets are an alternative. They permit infants to be side-by-side, and they're perfect for feedings and diaper changes during the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, features an air-tight mesh partition and adjustable height so that each baby can be seen and reached throughout the night, and the sides of the sleeper are raised and lower to allow easy access. Walmart's Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet which is a more affordable option, has two sleep zones that are separated by a mesh panel, permitting babies to view each other. The sleeper also rotates around 360 degrees to give easy access to the infants.

For short-term situations, such as an unexpected family visit or hospital stay, many parents have found the benefits of co-bedding twins using a large moses basket or small bassinette with a divider. However, this should be done only under the supervision of a medical professional to ensure that the babies are properly placed in a cot for bedside, with their feet at the floor of the cot and their bedding securely tucked in, to prevent them from suffocating.

Safety

The most important safety feature for twins is that they have their own sleeping space. This prevents every 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.

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

Although the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to decrease the risk of SIDS by encouraging room sharing and avoiding cobedding, many families with multiples and twins find it difficult to adhere to these guidelines (1). In a prior study, it was found 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 sleep habits.

Parents of twins may not follow current SIDS risk reduction recommendations due to a desire prolong their own sleep and a lack of space to accommodate multiple cribs in the home. In addition the socioeconomic standing of a family may influence their decisions about sleep arrangements.

If twins are placed side-by-side in a tiny crib or Moses basket, they may easily get caught in their bedding and could choke on one another. If you decide to put your twins in the same cot, it's important to place them in the position of feet-to-head and their bedding securely tucked into the cots to reduce their chances of smothering each other.

One of the safer and more practical options for twins to be able to sleep independently is a bassinet that sits beside the bed like the Halo Bassinest Twin. This double bassinet has an enclosed mesh wall that can separate twins and provide them with their own flat, safe sleep surface. It swivels a full 360 degrees, allowing you to bring one of your children closer to you for feedings or to soothe while still in the comfort of your bed. The sides lower and auto-return with each movement. It is also easy to clean, and fits into a standard twin-sized bed frame. Take a look at the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet at Walmart. It has the same features as the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

Being welcomed by twins or multiples to the world is a major life altering. They also require a great deal of planning and thinking in regards to their sleeping arrangements and how they'll get a good sleep. While the decisions regarding their future room can be made when they are older parents are often unsure of how they can help their children to feel comfortable in the beginning stages.

It is possible for twins to share a cot if they are small. Co-bedding is a method for comforting newborns by bringing them back to their womb. It is important to make sure the beds are large enough to allow the infants to be comfortable without touching or bouncing around. It is also important to keep in mind that the baby who awakes first needs to be fed. It can be helpful to coordinate nighttime feeds so that you can get one up before the other.

It is important to be aware that twins may have different sleep patterns. You might find that one baby is more sleepy than the other or is more comfortable being close to you. In this situation, it might be best for the twins to have their own bassinet or crib in their room.

When looking for a twin bedside cot, look for models that feature ventilated mesh dividers that can create distinct sleeping areas. This is especially important for babies susceptible to overheating, or for families with c-section moms. A reversible base as well as wheels that are easy to move are also beneficial features. The Arm's Reach cot, specifically designed for mothers who have a c-section is a great option because it offers a huge sleeping space and is easy to maneuver. Other options are 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 that twins sleep in the same bed as an adult even if they're close. This increases the risk of SIDS and may result in suffocation strangulation or entrapment. Instead the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that twins sleep in their own safe sleeping spaces, such as bassinets or cribs, in their parents' room for the first six months.
