Choosing a Bedside Cot for Twins It is recommended to keep the twins who are just born close to each other However, you must adhere to safety sleep guidelines. The proper crib arrangement will help your twins establish the same routine of sleeping. A double bassinet with a divider is a great option for twins. These portable beds let parents keep their babies near for feedings in the middle of the night and diaper changes. These beds are also great for babies who may outgrow their baby bassinets when they reach toddlerhood. Space-Saving Twins can sleep together in a bedside crib, provided you adhere to the safe sleeping guidelines (that's to say they should be lying on their backs with the tops of their heads touching each other and their feet placed at opposite sides of the cot). Once they are big enough, they may also share a bed in a Moses Basket or regular crib. We are in love with this Delta double bassinet, which features a mesh partition so that babies can stay separated but still close to one other. It comes with a handy storage compartment to keep snacks and wipes close by as well. It's also foldable, making it easier to move around the house and take on excursions. This EZ Fold Twin Bassinet, available at Walmart is swivelling to allow you to bring your twins who are fussy closer to you to feed them and calm them. The sides are lowered and raised to make it easier for you to get in and lock into place for security. It's a bit heavier and longer than some other alternatives, but it's a great choice for second floors or grandparent 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 place their babies in the same bassinet or crib. Rednose recommends that twins have their own secure sleeping space (crib, portable crib, or bassinet) in the room of the parents or caregivers until they reach 12 months to lower the chance of SIDS. This arrangement is also known as co-bedding, and it has been found that twins who are accustomed to this sleep environment will typically have a more synchronized sleep pattern than those who sleep on their own. A twin bedside cot like the Teknum FELLOW 2 is an excellent option to achieve this. It includes two sets of bedding to ensure that each baby gets their own personal space. The bedside cot can easily be moved from room to another as required, and allows you to check on babies without needing to wake them by re-entering their sleeping space or disrupting their routines. Double bassinets are a different option. They allow infants to be side-by-side, and they're perfect for diaper changes or feedings during the middle of the night. The Halo Bassinest Twin, for instance, features an air-tight mesh divider and adjustable height so that each child can be observed and reached at all times, while the sides of the sleeper are raised and lower to allow easy access. If you're looking for an affordable option, the Walmart-exclusive Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet is similar, with two separate sleeping zones, separated by a mesh panel that allows babies to view each other, and the entire sleeper is able to rotate 360 degrees, giving ease of access for each infant. Many parents have found that bedding twins together with moses baskets, or a small bassinette, could be a good option for situations that are temporary, such as a hospital stay or a family visit. However this should be done only under the supervision of a medical professional to ensure that babies are placed properly in a cot, with their feet at the floor of the cot and their bedding is securely tucked in to prevent them from being suffocated. Safety When twins sleep together, the most crucial security factor is that each baby has his or her individual space to sleep. This ensures that every infant isn't smothered or trapped by the other. It also helps prevent cot deaths, which are more common with single babies than multiples. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that tritons, twins and higher-ordered multiples have their own sleeping area. This can be achieved with an additional bassinet, or a twin bedside crib you can bring up to your bed to feed or soothe one of the babies during the night. Although the American Academy of Pediatrics has recently issued recommendations to reduce the risk of SIDS by encouraging room sharing and discouraging cobedding, many families with twins and multiples find it difficult to adhere to these guidelines (1). In a previous study it was discovered that the majority of twin families who co-bedded their children during the first three months of life at home were engaged in dangerous sleep practices. Parents of twins might not follow current SIDS recommendations due to the desire to rest longer and the lack of space at home to accommodate multiple cribs. In addition, socioeconomic status could affect the family's decisions regarding sleeping arrangements. If twins are put in a small Moses basket or crib, their bedding may easily be pulled together and they may choke on eachother. If you're planning to sleep your twins together in the same cot, it is important to put them in the position of feet-to-head and their bedding tucked securely into the cots to reduce their chances of smothering each other. One of the safer and more comfortable options for twins to sleep independently is a bassinet that sits beside the bed like the Halo Bassinest Twin. The double bassinet has mesh walls that separate twins to give them each their own secure, flat sleep surface. It swivels a full 360 degrees, allowing you to bring one of your children closer to you for feedings or calming without having to leave the comfort of your bed, and its side walls lower and auto-return when you move. It's also easy to clean and fits in the standard twin bed frame. For a less expensive alternative, consider the Delta Children Twin EZ Fold Double Bassinet, which is available at Walmart and has similar features as the Halo Bassinest. Comfort Welcoming twins or multiples to the world is a major life change. They also require a great deal of planning and thinking in regards to their sleeping arrangements and how they'll get a good night's sleep. While decisions about their future room can be made later in life parents often ask how they can help their children to settle in the early stages. When twins are very young, it is possible to share one cot. This is known as co-bedding and it can be a great comfort to newborns as it reminds them of the womb. cotsfortots is important to ensure that the beds are large enough for babies to feel comfortable without having to touch one others or roll around. It is important to keep in mind that the baby who awakes first should be fed. It can be beneficial to coordinate nighttime feeds so that you can get one up earlier than the other. It is important to be aware that twins can have very different sleeping routines. You might find that one of them wakes more than the other or that they prefer to be closer to you. In this situation, it may be best to give each twin a separate bassinet or crib. Choose a cot with twin beds that have breathable mesh dividers to create separate sleeping areas. This is especially important for babies that are susceptible to overheating, or for families with mothers who have had c-sections. Other useful features include the reversible base, built-in storage for blankets and toys, and easy-to-maneuver wheels. The Arm's Reach cot is a great option for this purpose since it provides a spacious sleeping area and is designed with mothers who have c-sections in mind. 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 that twins sleep in the same bed with an adult, even if they are very close. This can increase the risk of SIDS and result in strangulation or suffocation. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that twins be in their own bassinets or cribs in their parents' bedrooms for the first six months.
