Cosleeping: Baby Cribs vs. Bassinets

A safe and secure sleeping environment is important for any child, but it is especially important in the early formative years.  The Arm's Reach® CO-SLEEPER® brand products are designed to promote cosleeping, which can increase bonding between parent and baby, and create a greater sense of closeness.

Cosleeping -- also known as "bed sharing" and "the family bed" -- can also promote breast feeding, lower stress, stabilize temperature and heart rhythms, and even improve a baby's breathing when practiced properly.  Parents sleep better, too -- longer and more comfortably -- knowing that their baby is safe beside them.   To enhance these benefits and reduce any concerns new parents might have about the safety of cosleeping, Arm's Reach® has created a series of CO-SLEEPER® brand bassinets that come in a wide variety of colors, fabrics and styles.  The CO-SLEEPER® brand Original, Sleigh Bed and Universal products are just a few examples.  The Arm's Reach® CO-SLEEPER® brand basinets are also recommended by pediatricians and sleep research experts.

New parents grapple with many questions when they have a child.  One of the most common is: bassinet or crib?  While a crib can also be placed in a parent's room, the sides are high, putting a barrier between parent and baby, and the level can't necessarily be adjusted to line up directly with mom and dad's mattress.  Our CO-SLEEPER® brand bassinets are designed just as our name indicates: to put your baby right next to you -- literally within arm's reach.  So nothing gets between you and your infant for feeding, diaper changing or just plain love and affection.
