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 Original Bedside Co-Sleeper, baby sleeps snugly and safely alongside adult bed, offering a sense of security for early parenting. The Arm's Reach Original 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 Original 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 Original 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 Original Bedside Co-Sleeper attaches to your bed under the mattress and is securely strapped into place. The Original Bedside Co-Sleeper attaches to twin, full, queen, king and California King adult beds. The Original 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.
Benefits of the Original 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.
