What weight of child can use the Co-Sleeper/playard?
The recommended maximum weight for Co-Sleeper is 30 pounds. We recommend that the Co-Sleeper be used only as long as the motor skills of the baby do not enable it to repeatedly roll back and forth or reach up to the sidewalls and roll/crawl onto the bed. Remember, never leave baby unattended in the Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper.
The playard may be used until the child can climb out of it.
With the Bedside Co-Sleeper, baby sleeps snugly and safely alongside adult bed, offering a sense of security for early parenting. The Arm's Reach Bedside Co-Sleeper bassinet is a unique creation that allows you and your baby to sleep safely and comfortably next to each other from the moment baby comes home.
Whether you choose to breastfeed or bottle-feed your baby, the Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper enables you to reach over and draw your baby close for feeding, without disturbing the warmth and security of your baby's bed.
The benefits of co-sleeping are currently being studied and findings support the behavior as normal and healthy for both mother and child. Research suggests the practice of co-sleeping may reduce the incidence of S.I.D.S.
The Arm's Reach Bedside Co-Sleeper keeps baby close to you at all times. You can rest comfortably and recuperate from childbirth while attending to baby without leaving your bed. This is especially important after Caesarean section births.
The Bedside Co-Sleeper is designed for the standard American bed height of 24" from the floor to the top of the adult mattress. If your adult bed is higher than 24" (like some of the new "pillow top mattresses") you can use the Leg Extension Kit to adjust your Co-Sleeper upward to the desired height.
The Bedside Co-Sleeper attaches to your bed under the mattress and is securely strapped into place. The Bedside Co-Sleeper attaches to twin, full, queen, king and California King adult beds. The Bedside Co-Sleeper dimensions are 40" X 28" X 31". If you bed is greater than 24" tall, a leg extension kit can be purchased at an additional cost.
The Co-Sleeper bassinet has a weight limit of 30 pounds when in the co-sleeping position and 50 pounds when used as a play yard.
Benefits of the Bedside Co-Sleeper
Mother can breastfeed during the night without getting up, thus meeting the needs of both mother and baby.
If the baby is restless, the mother can simply reach over and comfort the child. Research shows benefits of a quick response to a baby's need for bonding and makes for a secure beginning.
Mother can enjoy more rest because she can reach her baby from her bed.
From the first day home, mother and baby are able to bond and this bond carries through for the rest of their lives.
