Safely Co-Sleeping with your baby
The term Co-sleeping simply means to have your baby sleep in the same room as you. Co-sleeping can often be considered a more controversial topic when it comes to parenting. The way a parent chooses to co-sleep may differ from one parent to another. You may decide that this is not the best option for your family, but there are a handful of positives to co-sleeping if it is a practice you decide to use. Often mothers find breastfeeding at night is easier when the baby is close by, it is good for maintaining milk supply and both parents and babies get more sleep. There is also evidence sleeping in the same rooms as baby reduces the risk of SIDS.
Co-sleeping does not mean having baby sleeping in the same bed as you, but it could involve baby sleeping in a bedside bassinet. This is a great safe sleep option for babies as it allows them to have their own space to sleep and gives you your own space. If co-sleeping is something you choose is the best fit for your family. Dimples offers several options to make your co-sleeping journey as safe and easy as possible.
Shnuggle Air Crib
The Shnuggle Air Crib makes having a safe and close sleep with your baby easier. This innovative design allows you to sleep next to one another without having to share the same bed. Not only does the Shnuggle Air Crib provide extra comfort for both you and your baby but it also helps to grow your bond with one another. Designed to feature as both a regular bassinet and bedside bassinet, the design of the Shnuggle Air Crib allows you to simply drop one side creating easy access to baby. This bassinet features a slightly raised edge even for when one side is dropped down. This helps to prevent baby from rolling out of their bassinet into your bed. The height of your Shnuggle Air Crib is adjustable therefore you can set the bassinet to be the same height as your own bed.
Breathability is an important safety feature for any baby bed. The Shnuggle Air Crib has been designed with airflow and breathability in mind with its dual-view mesh sides, this also allows parents to keep an eye out for baby. The Air crib comes with a hypo-allergenic fibre mattress. This mattress is 50% more breathable than any other standard foam mattress whilst also being nice and firm for baby.

Linea Side-By-Side
With its stylish retro design, the Linea Side-By-Side Bassinet is a great option for a family wanting to practice co-sleeping. Designed to sit perfectly beside your bed, the frame of the Side-By-Side Bassinet is also height adjustable. By simply switching the mechanism at the top of the Linea side by side bassinet, it allows you to drop one side down. Now you can sleep beside baby whilst they stay safe in their own bed.
