Baby sleep: the best of co-sleeping cradles

2022-01-06T17:13:51.175Z


Very popular practice in several countries, Scandinavian or African for example, co-sleeping, or co-sleeping in English, also seduces the par


There are many differences between the supporters of the

co-sleeping cradle

and those of the independent bed in a separate bedroom. But one thing in common brings them together: promoting the best sleep for their babies. As with everything, there are pros and cons to each of the methods. Let's take a look at the co-sleeping, or co-sleeping, more and more in vogue among new parents, while the co-sleeping was very popular a few years ago in families, often large and lacking space. But it is not a question of making baby sleep in the parental bed, because this would be a risk of suffocation. It is therefore a question of installing your child in a co-sleeping cradle, which is juxtaposed to your bed. Its security is therefore assured.

The first advantage of the co-sleeping cradle is that parents can stay close to the newborn, all night long.

This is convenient for breastfeeding, no need to get up for feedings, taking the bottle or in case of frequent awakenings.

Then, this practice makes it possible to consolidate the close bond with the mother, already established during pregnancy.

Baby can smell his mom, and it reassures him to spend a peaceful night and develop.

Co-sleeping is therefore beneficial and reassuring for both parents and baby, provided you choose a suitable co-sleeping cradle.

You can even add a bed bumper if you wish.

    Until what age should we favor the co-sleeping cradle?

    Co-sleeping cradles, like traditional cradles, have a maximum age of use for safety and weight reasons. It is advisable to put your baby to bed in a co-sleeping cradle until the age of 6 months or a weight of approximately 9 kg. In any case, as soon as your little one starts to turn around, sit down, lean on his arms, then it's time to move on to a baby cot with bars, in his own room, or always in co-sleeping mode in your own room. It is still recommended to install baby in his own room from the age of 6 months, because, on the one hand, the risk of sudden infant death is much lower, and on the other hand, for the parents, it's time to find a bit of privacy. Also, it is easier for baby to cope with the separation at this age,according to early childhood professionals. In any case, follow your instincts: if baby returns to his room at the age of 4 months or 10 months, it's up to you, as long as the family balance is preserved. Remember: every baby has their own rhythm. The delicate question remains however the passage between these two stages: co-sleeping and independent bed.


    How to get baby used to his own room after several months of co-sleeping?

    For a smooth transition from the parental room to the children's room, you often have to be patient.

    Any change can be stressful for your baby.

    Fortunately, there are a few tips to make everything go as smoothly as possible, without too much crying.

    What if you started with naps in the separate bed ...

    You can start by getting your baby used to sleeping in his room, and in his bed, during the day's naps.

    There are also many co-sleeping cradles that easily convert into independent beds and which, equipped with casters, can be moved from one room to another effortlessly.

    Once he gets used to his naps, you can then move on to bedtime.

    … puis installez des rituels au coucher

    La meilleure solution pour qu’il s’adapte au mieux est de ritualiser ce moment qui est un moment de séparation pour bébé, donc un moment forcément difficile. Parmi les rituels les plus fréquents, il y a la lecture d’une petite histoire, le massage, la petite chanson, un peu de musique… Des petits rituels pour faire accepter l’endormissement seul. Plus grand, il pourra même vous guider pour choisir son nouveau modèle de lit enfant.


    Quels sont les critères pour bien choisir un berceau cododo ?

    Pour bien choisir un berceau de cododo, différents critères sont à regarder avec soin. Tout d’abord, sachez qu’il existe deux sortes de lits de co-sleeping.

    Le berceau de co-sleeping modulable

    Il y a le berceau indépendant avec un côté qui se baisse ou se plie lorsque vous avez besoin de prendre bébé pendant la nuit. Sa hauteur atteint généralement les 70 cm. Il y a aussi le lit de cododo qui se fixe au lit parental.

    Le lit de cododo qui se fixe au lit parental

    Le lit de cododo avec fixation se fixe directement à votre lit. Le lit de bébé est donc ouvert d’un côté, celui situé vers votre lit. La hauteur de ce type de berceau s’ajuste selon différentes hauteurs, et selon les modèles. Parfois jusqu’à 10 positions différentes. En règle générale, tous ces lits cododo s’adaptent à tous les types de lits parentaux pour une sécurité maximale. Pour les lits avec tiroirs intégrés, pensez à regarder les modèles de berceaux à pieds rétractables.

    Des lits de cododo en bois en aluminium

    Côté matériau, vous aurez le choix entre le lit en bois qui est robuste et apporte une touche esthétique agréable à votre intérieur, et le lit en aluminium qui se transporte facilement, car plus léger. Les lits en bois affichent leur côté naturel et respectueux de l’environnement, et sont généralement plus chers. Il est important qu’il soit en bois lourd (hêtre par exemple) et non pas une matière trop légère qui serait moins robuste et durable. En aluminium ou acier, ils offrent une touche plus moderne, et des coloris plus nombreux et souvent élégants (gris, noir, bleu nuit…).


    Où trouver des berceaux cododo ?

    Dans les magasins spécialisés

    Toutes les marques de puériculture (Chicco, Bébé Confort, Babymoov, Kinderkraft, BabyBay…) proposent des berceaux de cododo, qu’ils soient en bois ou en aluminium, modulables ou avec fixation. Vous disposez d’un large choix de coloris et d’options (avec sac de transport, avec matelas…). Vous les retrouverez dans les magasins spécialisés comme Aubert, Autour de bébé, Vertbaudet, Orchestra, Natalys… ainsi que sur les sites Internet dédiés. L’avantage de ces magasins est d’obtenir des conseils précis pour vous aider dans votre choix.

    Sur Internet

    Si votre choix est presque fait et que vous avez déjà une bonne idée de ce que vous voulez, alors les sites de vente généraliste (Amazon, Cdiscount, La Redoute…) sont faits pour vous. C’est le moment aussi de comparer les prix pour faire des économies. Avec ces sites, il est aussi facile d’obtenir les avis d’utilisateurs ou des professionnels de la petite enfance. Si vous choisissez d’acquérir un lit de cododo d’occasion, prenez bien soi de vérifier l’état des attaches (sangles…) et l’adaptabilité à votre propre lit. Si vous êtes hésitant, la plupart des lits de cododo sont 2-en-1, c’est-à-dire transformables en lits indépendants. L’important au final est de faire selon vos envies et vos besoins pour que bébé et toute la famille se reposent sereinement.
