Co-sleeper

A safe place for your little one to sleep

In the first few months after your baby's birth, you want them to always be close by. Even at night, it can be comforting to be close to your little one and keep an eye on them. A co-sleeper is the perfect solution! You can slide this crib up to your bed and it opens on one side, making it easy to get your little one in and out. Only open the crib when you need to pick up your baby for feeding, comforting, or cuddling, and close it again when you're both going to sleep. This prevents your little one from accidentally rolling into your bed.

A co-sleeper is a safe place for your baby to sleep close to you. This is safer than your own bed, as it's filled with pillows, duvets, and you as parents, meaning your baby can quickly become too warm. It gives you a sense of security because you're close to your baby and you quickly notice when something's wrong. The co-sleeper is suitable from birth to approximately 6 to 9 months. From this age, the bed becomes too small, and it's time to switch to a bassinet. It's also time to move to a larger bed when your baby can sit up and stand up independently. Otherwise, your baby might climb out of the crib, which is obviously not the intention.

When should you choose a co-sleeper for your baby?

Most people who choose a co-sleeper for their baby do so because they enjoy having their child in their own bedroom for the first few months. Besides being easy to place in your own room, the co-sleeper crib offers even more advantages. For example, it's ideal when your baby is breastfeeding. You can easily get your baby out of bed at night and feed them without having to get out of bed yourself. After feeding, you can both quickly get back to sleep. 

If your baby suffers from reflux, a co-sleeper is also a great solution. With most of these cribs, one side can be slightly raised so your baby can lie at a slight angle. This can be very comforting for your little one. It's also a good option if they have a cold, as it allows them to breathe more easily.

The benefits of co-sleeping with your baby

Co-sleeping is sleeping together with your baby. Sleeping close to your baby has many advantages! It gives you peace of mind because your baby is close by, and you can keep a close eye on them. It also promotes bonding between you and your baby. Regular contact between mother and baby makes your baby feel safe and secure. It can also improve your sleep. You don't have to rush to the nursery every time your baby makes a sound; you can easily check on them and comfort them.

Attaching a co-sleeper to your own bed

If you want a co-sleeper crib that attaches to your own bed, you should carefully check whether this is possible with your existing bed. It must be securely fastened so that there is no gap between your mattress and your child's. It's important to check the crib's attachment mechanism. If it can't be attached to your bed, it can still be used, but you won't be able to simply detach the side. The crib can then only be used as a regular crib. However, the baby co-sleeper can always be set at the same height as your own bed, as it's height-adjustable. There shouldn't be a height difference between your mattress and your child's.
