Cosleeper Product Reviews
85
There are not as many products on the market when it comes to cosleeping as there are those dedicated to independent sleeping. Just in cribs alone there are so many different kinds of models and features to choose from. If you are looking for an alternative to a crib or bassinet and would like to adopt more of a "family bed" approach, there are a few popular products that you may want to review before decising which one to purchase.

Deluxe Snuggle Nest by Baby Delight
This was the first cosleeping product I tried. It is probably one of the most widely marketed cosleeping products. You see it more often in flyers, magazines, and stores than any of the other cosleeping products. And while it does provide as a great start for cosleeping, it is not exactly one of my favorites.
While it does provide peace of mind and safety and have a few neat convenience features, I don't neccessarily think it's worth the price. It is a small item and most likely won't last your infant longer than the first few months. In fact, it's not recommended once they can roll over or sit up (which is, on average, between 2-5 months).
However, if you are looking for a quick fix, something small, or something that will easily help baby to make the transition to a crib (and peace of mind), the Deluxe Snuggle Nest Cosleeper may actually be the best match for you.

Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper
I wasn't too crazy about the Deluxe Snuggle Nest mostly because I wanted something that allowed for more usage. The next product I came across was the Arm's Reach Co-sleeper.
There are three different size cosleepers that Arm's Reach makes: the Universal CoSleeper, Original CoSleeper, and the Mini CoSleeper. The Universal and Original CoSleepers are larger units, where as the Mini Cosleeper is for smaller rooms or someone who just doens't want something taking up as much space as a crib. I prefer the Mini Cosleeper, but compare all three to see which one is best for you.
I've only used the mini because I didn't want something that took up too much space. I liked the extra storage and that it could double as a playyard later on (and even be used as a changing table). But, if you have it strapped to the side of your bed, it's not as small as a bassinett and sometimes a pain in the rear to try and maneuver around it. Other than that, it is the best cosleeping alternative that is similar to a crib.
It is important to note that the Arm's Reach CoSleepers come in a variety of colors. You should be able to find one that best matches the decor of your room or nursery.

Humanity Family Bed CoSleeping Pillow
If you are like me an looking for a bit more of a "personal touch" with you and baby, you may like the bed top cosleeping pillow by Humaity Family Bed. It allows you to sleep with baby in the bed and provides a protective barrier, keeping the baby from being able to roll off the bed in the middle of the night.
The Family Bed Cosleeping pillow is a thick cushion, very much similar to memory foam toppers that you may put on top of a cheap mattress. If you breastfeed, it will help to keep you dry and acts as a sheet protector. Why would you need this? Well, sometimes when cosleeping and breastfeeding, you occassionally leak or the baby drips milk - causing you both to sleep on wet sheets. A great added plus is that the Family Bed cosleeping pillow is also made from eco friendly products! Finally, I like that it can later on double as a soft and comfy bed rail for cosleeping - or even as a body pillow for another pregnancy ;-)

Excellent products for a welcome concept. Thank you, Belief.
Lizzie, there are some reports that cosleeping does contribute to SIDS if NOT practiced safely, however, most cases show that it actually reduces risk of SIDS. Checkout my other article, The Cosleeping Controversy, for more on this, including links to credible sites.
Kenny, your welcome!

IN New Zealand that practice of cosleeping is traditional amongst Maori and Pacific Islanders I have seen serveral news repots that it contributes to SIDS - sudden infant death Syndrom
