Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins

Twins who are just born sleep best close to one another, but it's important to follow safe sleeping recommendations. The right crib arrangement can help your twins develop the same routine of sleeping.

A double bassinet that has an divider is a great option for twins. These beds can be used to keep their children close during diaper changes and feedings at night. These beds are also ideal for babies who may outgrow their bassinets before they reach the age of toddlerhood.

Space-Saving

Twins can sleep side-by-side in a bedside cot, provided you adhere to the safe guidelines for sleeping (that's to say they should be lying 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 regular crib once they're big enough.

This Delta double bassinet has a mesh divider that allows babies to be separated, but still close. It comes with a handy storage compartment that can keep wipes and snacks nearby and also snacks. It can also fold which makes it easy to move around the home and travel with 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 lowered and raised to make it easier to access them and they are locked to ensure security. It's a bit longer and heavier than other options however it is ideal for the second floor or grandparent's homes. It also comes with a bag for travel. It's also much cheaper than the Halo Bassinest Twin.

Convenience

It is not recommended that parents of twins sleep their babies in the same bassinet or crib. Instead, the group Rednose suggests that twins be given their own secure sleeping space (crib or bassinet or portable crib) in the parent/caregiver's room until they are 12 months old to help reduce the risk of SIDS. This is known as co-bedding. It has been shown that twins who have grown in this environment have a more synchronized sleeping pattern.

A twin bedside cot like the Teknum FELLOW 2 is a great method to accomplish this. It comes with two sets of bedding, so that each baby bedside cot gets their own personal space. The bedside crib vs cot cot can also be easily moved from one room to another depending on the need. It provides a convenient and easy way to monitor your baby without disrupting their sleep or waking them up.

Other options include double bassinets that have been specifically designed for infants that allow them to remain side-by-side and are ideal for middle-of-the-night feeds or diaper changes. The Halo Bassinest Twin has a mesh panel that breathes and is adjustable in height to allow each baby to be easily accessible and visible at all times. The sides of the sleeper can adjust to lower and raise for quick access. If you're looking for a more affordable alternative, the Walmart-exclusive Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet is similar, with two sleep zones separated by a mesh panel that allows babies to view each other and the entire bed can rotate 360 degrees to give ease of access for each infant.

For situations that are temporary like a family visit or hospitalization, many parents have found the benefits of co-bedding twins using large moses baskets or a small bassinette that has dividers. However this should be done only under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure that babies are placed properly, with their feet to the bottom of the cot and their bedding securely tucked in, to prevent them from being suffocated.

Safety

The most important security feature when it comes to twins is that each baby have their own sleeping space. This ensures that each infant isn't smothered, or infected by the other. It also helps prevent cot death, which is more frequent in infants who are single than in multiples.

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

While the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to reduce the risk of SIDS by encouraging room sharing and avoiding cobedding, many families with twins and multiples have found it difficult to follow these guidelines (1). A previous study revealed that a large majority of families with twins who were cobedded in the first 3 months at home used unsafe sleeping practices (room sharing without cobedding).

Parents of twins might not follow the current SIDS guidelines due to the desire to sleep longer and the lack of space at home to accommodate multiple cribs. In addition the socioeconomic standing of a family can influence their choices regarding sleep arrangements.

If twins are placed side-by-side in a small crib or Moses basket, they can easily become entangled by their bedding, and possibly choke on one another. If you decide to put your twins in the same cot, make sure they are placed in an area in which their feet are close to their heads, and that their bedding is tucked into the cots securely. This will reduce the chances of them choking on each one.

One of the safer and more practical options for twins to sleep independently is a bedside bassinet like the Halo Bassinest Twin. The double bassinet comes with an enclosed mesh wall that can separate twins and provide them with their own flat, safe sleep surface. It can be rotated 360 degrees, so you can bring your child closer to you without having to leave your bed. The side walls automatically lower and return with every movement. It's also easy to clean and fits in the standard twin bed frame. Check out the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet at Walmart. It has similar features as the Halo Bassinest.

Comfort

The arrival of twins or multiples into the world is a major life change. Not only that, they require a lot of preparation and thought in regards to their sleeping arrangements and how they will get a good night's sleep. While decisions about their future room can be made later in life, parents often wonder how they can help them get comfortable in the early stages.

It is possible for twins to share a single cot if they are small. This is referred to as co-bedding, and it can be a excellent comfort for babies as it helps them remember the birthing process. It is important to make sure the beds are big enough for the babies to feel comfortable without touching each other or rolling around. You should also be aware that the baby who awakes first should be fed. It is helpful to coordinate feeding times at night in order to awake one baby prior to the other.

It is crucial to keep in mind that twins are distinct and may develop their own sleeping routines. You may find that one child sleeps better than the other or prefers to be close to you. In this instance it might be best to give each twin their own crib or bassinet.

When shopping for a twin bedside cot, ensure that it has breathable mesh dividers to create distinct sleeping zones. This is especially important for babies more prone to overheating or for families with c-section mothers. Other useful features include an adjustable base, built-in storage for blankets and toys, and easy-to-use wheels. The Arm's Reach cot is an excellent option for these needs because it has an ample sleeping space and is designed with mothers who have c-sections in mind. Other options are the Graco Pack 'n Play and the Fisher-Price Easy Swivel but they offer 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 very close. This can increase the risk of SIDS and cause suffocation or strangulation. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins should sleep in their own cribs or bassinets in their parents' rooms for the first 6 months.
