Safety
Many new parents and expectant mothers have embraced cosleeping which is also known as bed-sharing, as per the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that infants should sleep in the same bedroom as their parents. The Academy says that sharing rooms is more secure than sleeping with an infant in the same bed since it decreases the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (also known as SIDS). While the AAP does not recommend bed sharing however, it does recommend that sleeping with a partner be done on a separate sleep surface to minimize the risk of SIDS. This is why the development of the bedside cosleeper became so important for many families.
A bedside cosleeper attaches to a bed frame for adults. It is an equivalent of a crib-style sleeper. The bedside cosleeper allows parents to easily keep an eye on their baby and allows parents the freedom of sleeping in a bed while keeping their child close by.

If the bedside cosleeper is not attached to the parent's bed in a manner that eliminates the gaps and openings where an infant can become trapped, it could be an hazard of suffocation. It is essential that the attachment system used for a bedside sleeper be examined to make sure that it can withstand forces that may be applied during use, such as the parent moving on and off the sleeper. The attachment system or the corners on the bedside cots cosleeper should be tested against the horizontal force.
The voluntary standard for bedside sleeping cribs incorporates, by reference to the federal consumer product safety standards for bassinets (16 CFR part 1218), including the requirements for performance for closed fabric openings. The mandatory requirements of the standard also address neck and head entrapment hazards by requiring that after the application and release of 50 lbs. horizontal force near the attachment systems and corners of the bedside sleeper gaps larger than 1.0 in. It is not allowed to create a gap greater than 1.0 in. ASTM's electronic Reading Room offers read-only versions of the standard.
Convenience
Many parents have resisted cosleeping because of fears of suffocation SIDS or the "Ferberization" process that forces children to be in a room by themselves, anthropologists have long noted that mammals and primates as well as those living in non-Western societies, frequently cosleep. This is because babies are soothed by hearing the voice of their mother, and can also learn to self-soothe.
