Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

It is best to keep your twins who are just born close to each other However, you must follow safety sleeping guidelines. A proper crib arrangement can help your twins develop an established routine for sleeping.

A double bassinet that comes with a divider can be a great choice for twins. These portable beds let parents keep their children close during middle-of-the-night feeds and diaper changes. These beds are also ideal for babies who are likely to outgrow their baby bassinets by the time they reach the age of toddlerhood.

Space-Saving

Twins can sleep together in a bedside travel crib cot, provided you adhere to safe sleeping guidelines (that's to say they should be lying on their backs with the tops of their heads facing each other, and their feet on opposite ends of the cot). They can also sleep together in a Moses basket or a regular crib once they're big enough.

We love this Delta double bassinet. It has a mesh divider to keep babies separate but close to each the other. It has a handy storage compartment to keep snacks and wipes close by and also snacks. It folds flat, making it easy to move around the house or take 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 lower and raise to make it easier for you to get in and are secured to ensure security. It's a little larger and heavier than other alternatives, but it's a great choice for grandparents' or second-floor houses and comes with its own travel 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 area (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 known as co-bedding. It has been shown that twins who grew in this environment develop a more coordinated sleeping patterns.

One of the most efficient ways to achieve this is by using a twin wooden bedside cot cot, like the Teknum FELLOW 2 that comes with two distinct bedding sets, so that every baby can have an individual and comfortable space. This Rocking bedside Crib cot is able to easily be moved from room to room as required, Rocking Bedside Crib and makes it easy to check on babies without having to wake them by re-entering their sleep zone or disrupting their sleep patterns.

Double bassinets are an alternative. They allow infants to sleep side-by-side and they're perfect for feedings or diaper changes in the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin has a mesh panel that breathes and is adjustable in height to allow each baby to be seen and reachable at all times. The sides of the sleeper adjust to lower and raise for quick access. If you're looking for an affordable alternative, the Walmart-exclusive Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet is similar, having two sleep zones separated by a mesh panel that allows babies to view each other and the entire bed swivels 360 degrees for ease of access for each infant.

Many parents have discovered that co-bedding twins with moses baskets or a small bassinette is a great option for temporary situations such as a hospital stay or a visit to the family. This should only be done with the supervision of by a healthcare professional. They will make sure that the babies are appropriately placed in a crib with their feet at the bottom of the crib, and all bedding tucked into.

Safety

When twins are sleeping together, the most crucial security factor is that each infant has their own sleep space. This ensures that each baby is not smothered or otherwise infected by the other. It also helps prevent cot deaths, which are more frequent with single infants than multiples.

The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that tritons, twins and higher-ordered multis have their own space to sleep in. This can be achieved by using a separate bassinet, or twin bedside crib and cot crib that you can place on your bed to feed or soothe one of the babies throughout the night.

Although the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to decrease the SIDS risk by encouraging room sharing and disabling cobedding, a lot of families with twins and multiples have found it difficult to adhere to these guidelines (1). A previous study found that the majority of families with twins that were cobedded during the first three months at home used unsafe sleep practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins may not adhere to current SIDS risk reduction recommendations because of a desire to prolong their own sleep and a lack of space to accommodate multiple cribs at home. In addition, the socioeconomic status of a family could affect their 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 each other. If you're planning to sleep your twins in the same cot it is important to put them in the position of feet-to-head and their bedding secured in the cots to reduce the chance of them smothering each other.

A bedside bassinet, such as the Halo Bassinest Twin, is one of the most secure and easier options for twins that want to be able to sleep independently.

Comfort

The arrival of twins or multiples into the world is a huge life change. They require lots of planning and consideration, not least in regards to where they will sleep and how they will get a good night's sleep. While decisions about their future room can be made 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 young, they can be able to share a cot. Co-bedding is a method of comforting newborns by reminding them of their womb. It is important to ensure that the beds are large enough to allow the babies to feel comfortable without having to touch one others or roll around. It is important to keep in mind that the baby who is the first to wake up should be fed. It can be helpful to coordinate feeding times at night to ensure that you wake one up before the other.

It is important to be aware that twins have different sleeping patterns. It could be that one of them wakes more than the other, or prefers to be close to you. In this case it is possible to give each twin their own bassinet or crib.

Look for twin bedside cots that have breathable mesh dividers to create separate sleeping areas. This is crucial for infants who are susceptible to heat stroke or families whose mothers have had a C-section. A reversible base and rocking Bedside Crib wheels that are easy to move are also helpful features. The Arm's Reach cot is a great option for this purpose, as it offers a large sleeping area and is designed with moms who have c-sections in mind. The Graco Pack 'n Play or Fisher-Price Easy Swaivel are also alternatives, but they have smaller sleeping areas than the Arm's Reach cot.

It is not recommended that twins sleep in the same bed as an adult even if they're very close. It is an increased risk of SIDS, and can cause suffocation, strangulation or entrapment. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins should be kept in their cribs or bassinets in their parents' room for the first 6 months.
