Bassinets that are placed in bed allow parents to keep their infant close, facilitating night-time feedings as well as monitoring and comforting without having to leave their bed. This close proximity also helps breastfeeding mothers by allowing them to attend to the needs of their infant without waking up at all times, which can help to keep milk supply steady and enhance the breastfeeding experience. Some bedside cots come with adjustable height features that make it easier for both the mother and baby to get into the bassinet to feed or take care of other needs during the night. A lot of bassinets have a firm mattress, which is designed to minimize the risk of suffocation, and also meets the standards of the industry. This is essential because baby's bones are fragile and not fully developed, and need to be supported to prevent damage. The mattress should be covered with an appropriate sheet to minimize the chance that dust mites, as well as other allergens, can choke a child. It must also be kept free of allergens and clean. Some bedside cribs can be tilted. This is useful for babies who have reflux or digestive issues. But, it should be done slowly and with care. Avoid putting baby bedside crib , duvets or padded crib bumpers to the bassinet. They could pose the risk of suffocation to your baby. You should also consider the bassinet with an attachment system that is secure. This can be attached to your existing bed easily without the use of tools. This is especially useful for parents who struggle to lift their child into and out of the cot or who are worried about accidentally rolling over in the night. If your bassinet has a secure attachment, it is a good idea for you to regularly check it. Make sure there are no gaps and that the system is securely connected.
