Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

It's best to keep newborn bedside cot twins close together, but you should also adhere to safety sleep guidelines. The proper crib arrangement will help your twins establish an established routine for sleeping.

A double bassinet that has the option of dividing it is a great option for twins. These portable beds let parents keep their babies close for diaper changes and mid-night feedings. These beds are also ideal for babies who might outgrow their baby bassinets when they reach toddlerhood.

Space-Saving

Twins can sleep side-by-side in a rocking bedside crib cot, as long as you follow safe guidelines for sleeping (that's to say they should lie on their backs, with the tops of their heads facing each other and feet at opposite ends of the cot). They can also share a bed in a Moses basket or regular crib once they're big enough.

This Delta double bassinet comes with a mesh partition that allows babies to be separated but still close. It also has a storage pocket for wipes and snacks. Additionally, it folds flat making it easy to manoeuvre around the house or go on trips.

Another alternative is this EZ Fold Twin Bassinet from Walmart that swivels to bring your twins' fluttery little ones closer to you for feeding and soothing. The sides lower and raise to make it easier for you to get in and are secured to ensure safety. It is a little longer and heavier than other options but is great for the second-floor or homes for grandparents. It also comes with a carry-on bag. It's also less expensive than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

It is not recommended that parents of twins put their babies in the same crib or bassinet. Rednose recommends that twins have their own secure sleeping space (crib, portable crib, or bassinet) in the room of the caregivers/parents until they reach 12 months to lower the chance of SIDS. This is referred to as co-bedding. It has been proven that twins who grew in this environment have a more synchronized sleeping patterns.

One of the most convenient ways to achieve this is with a twin bedside cot, like the Teknum FELLOW 2, that comes with two distinct bedding sets so every baby can have an individual and comfortable space. The bedside cot can also be easily moved from one room to the next as needed. It provides an easy and convenient way to check on your babies without disturbing their sleep patterns or wake them up.

Double bassinets are an alternative. They allow babies to sleep side-byside, and they're perfect for feedings and diaper changes in the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin has a breathable mesh panel and adjustable height that allows each baby to be easily accessible and visible at all times. The sides of the sleeper lower and raise for easy access. Walmart's Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet which is a more affordable alternative, comes with two sleep zones separated by a mesh panel which allows babies to see each the other. The sleeper can also rotate around 360 degrees, allowing easy access to infants.

Many parents have discovered that co-bedding twins with moses baskets or a small bassinette, is a great option in situations of a short duration, such as hospitalization or a family visit. This should only be done under the supervision a healthcare provider. They will make sure that the infants are correctly placed in a crib with their feet at the bottom of the crib, and all bedding is tucked into.

Safety

The most important safety aspect for twins is that they have their own sleeping space. This will prevent every baby from being smothered, choked, or otherwise choking by the other. It also helps to prevent deaths in the cot, which are more common in single babies than in multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that tritons, twins and higher-ordered multiples have their own sleeping space. This can be done with 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.

While recent SIDS risk reduction guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics encourage room sharing with a parent and avoid cobedding, the reality is that a lot of families with twins and higher-order multiples have trouble adhering to these guidelines (1). A previous study revealed that a majority of families of twins that were cobedded during the first 3 months at home, used unsafe sleeping practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins may not adhere to the current SIDS risk reduction guidelines 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 could affect their sleep arrangements.

If twins are placed together in a crib or Moses basket, they can easily get caught in their bedding and potentially choke on one another. If you're planning to put your twins 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 their chances of smothering each one.

A foldable bedside crib bassinet, such as the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the most secure and most convenient options for twins that want to sleep in a separate bed. This double bassinet has an enclosed mesh wall that can separate twins and provide them with their own flat, safe mattress to sleep on. It can rotate 360 degrees, allowing you to bring one of your babies closer to you for feedings or to soothe while still in the peace of your bed. The side walls lower and automatically return every time you move. It's also easy to clean and fits in the standard twin bed frame. For a less expensive alternative, look into the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet, which is available at Walmart and comes with similar features to the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

Being welcomed by twins or multiples to the world is an enormous life change. 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 later in life parents are often unsure of what they can do to help them to feel comfortable in the beginning stages.

When twins are still young, they can be able to share one crib. Co-bedding is a method for soothing newborns by reminding them of their womb. It is important to ensure that the beds are big enough for the babies to be comfortable, without touching each other or rolling around. It is also important to remember that the baby who waks first must be fed. It is helpful to coordinate night feeds so that you can wake up one baby before the other.

It is crucial to remember that twins are quite different and could develop their own sleep patterns. You may find that one of them wakes more frequently than the other or they prefer to be close to you. In this case it might be best to give each twin their own crib or bassinet.

When you are looking for a twin bedside cot, look for models with air-tight mesh dividers that create separate sleeping spaces. This is essential for babies that are prone to heat stroke or for families in which mothers have had a C-section. A reversible base as well as wheels that are easy to move are also beneficial features. The Arm's Reach cot is a great option for this purpose because it has a large sleeping area and is designed with mothers who have c-sections in mind. The Graco Pack 'n Play or Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel are other options, but offer a smaller sleeping space than the Arm's Reach cot.

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