3x the best co-sleeper

Team Tiny has tested many different cots. In this blog we will tell you which 4 co-sleepers came out best in the test.

What is a co-sleeper?

A co-sleeper is a crib that you place next to your parents' bed, making it an extension of your own bed. This allows you to sleep close to your baby without having them sleep in the same bed. This concept, also known as co-sleeping , offers the comfort and closeness of co-sleeping, while still giving your baby their own safe sleeping space.

There are several benefits to co-sleeping, including:

• It promotes bonding between mother and child.
• Co-sleeping helps regulate your baby's breathing and heart rate.
• It can help reduce the risk of cot death.
• It is easier for mothers to breastfeed and comfort their baby without having to get out of bed.

How long do you use a co-sleeper?

Generally, a co-sleeper is used until a baby is about six months old. This is when most babies can roll over and pull themselves up, making the use of a crib riskier. A crib is recommended at this point.

An exception to this is the Chicco Next to me Forever , which can be used longer because the mattress can be lowered. This makes it possible to transform the cradle into a cot.

Because a co-sleeper is only used for such a short time, this is an excellent product for rental. You only pay for the time you need it and then you return it. This saves you time, money and storage!

Because a co-sleeper is placed next to the bed, it is important to go through the following steps when placing the crib:

1. Measure the height of your bed to the top of the mattress
2. Order a suitable co-sleeper via Tiny Library
3. Place the cradle next to the bed and make sure the mattress fits snugly on your mattress
4. Optional: secure the co-sleeper to the bed with tension straps
