Difference Between a Co-sleeper And a Bassinet

A co-sleeper is a bed that attaches to the parent’s bed and has side walls surrounding it. A bassinet can be placed anywhere in the room of choice and does not have any sides, but rather mesh so you can keep an eye on your baby while they sleep. Most people find themselves using one or both types depending on their needs at different points during infancy.

What Do Parents Need to Know About Bassinet

What kind of rails should I get?

Most baby cribs come with standard metal bars designed to keep the child safe and comfortable while sleeping. However, some sets might include wood or plastic ones which can be more affordable but not as durable (meaning they may break easier). It’s also important that these do not have any sharp edges your infant could become injured on when reaching out for toys near their headboard.

The last thing you want is a cut from an exposed screw! Some parents like to purchase cushioned bumpers that fit snugly around the side and top of the bed so there are no gaps in between where infants can hurt themselves if they start rolling over too much sleeping.

 

What are some dangers of co-sleeping?

Babies sleeping with adults can suffocate or be smothered by the adult due to lack of supervision causing death. There is also an increased risk for SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). A baby could fall off the bed which would result in injury if not death as well since they cannot protect themselves like adults.

If there were any obstacles such as bumpers then it could cause suffocation because a baby doesn’t know how to push them away yet; this happens often when mom sleeps on her back while letting the babies sleep on their tummies.

Babies sleeping with adults can suffer from serious injuries by falling off beds or couches. A key risk factor for SIDS is having the mother smoke during pregnancy or after birth, so it’s best to quit before conceiving if you can’t already tell.

Babies who are exposed too early on to cigarette smoke (even second-hand) have a higher chance of dying from SIDS than those babies whose mothers did not smoke at all before/during/after pregnancy.

So remember that when deciding where your baby should sleep; preferably in their crib away from adults and pets, even if mom sleeps with them often (although this is recommended against by most paediatricians). Do some research online about safe ways to co-sleep without suffocating your child!

How long does a baby need in a bassinet? How much sleep do infants require on average per day? Why move from bassinet to crib right now and not another time within the first few months after birth?

Babies often spend similar amounts of hours sleeping each day as an adult e.g., eight hours or so depending on age – this varies between babies though!

Bassinets provide a good place for newborns but generally speaking most parents don’t want to keep the baby in the bassinet for too long as it’s better to move them into their room and crib around three months old – much earlier if parents are planning on having another child.

It is recommended that babies sleep in a separate bed or cot somewhere close by (ideally next door) but not within the same bedroom until they are at least six months old. This is because of safety reasons, such as SIDS risks which increase when cohabiting with adults during the first few months after birth.
