Reddit reviews Arm's Reach Ideal Arc Original Co-Sleeper Bedside Bassinet, Natural

Not a parent, but I'm a neonatologist with RA, so I spend a lot of time with newborns and have a couple of ideas! First, register for baby clothes that don't have tons of snaps! Those cute little outfits with a million snaps are impossible when my hands are flaring. I find the onesies with zippers (like this) much easier. I'm also a big fan of sleep sacks because they make it super easy to get newborns snug and swaddled, and I've never met a newborn who doesn't like them. Also, I don't have personal experience with them, but I have friends who've used a co-sleeper as a safe way to have a newborn within reach while sleeping but still in a safe sleep environment, and I would think it would be really helpful for still being able to care for a baby when just getting out of bed is hard. Good luck!!

You can actually get your hands on a Co-Sleeper, if it makes you feel better. My EMom used one with my youngest brother. They're like bassinets you strap to the side of your bed, so you can't roll into them, but you can easily reach out and touch the baby. (Esp good for breastfeeding moms who don't want to get up.)

This is one on Amazon.

I'm not sure if they should be on the pillows - crib mattresses are very firm for a reason, and the pillows seems too soft/fluffy. I would just put them directly on the bed if I were you.

I would also be careful putting them too close together - the reason I say this is because you wouldn't want one to get his face stuck against the swaddle of the other and suffocate because he couldn't move. Is it possible to keep one twin on one side of you and the other on the opposite side?

Another option would be to get these co-sleeper's which would keep the twins in your bed, but separated somewhat. It also allows them to have that really firm mattress. I'm not sure what two of those would look like in a queen bed though :-/

A third option would be to get these side-car co-sleepers and put them on either side of your bed. You didn't mention a second parent, so I suppose this would only work if it is only you in the bed. Perhaps you could combine the co-sleeper that goes in the bed with this sidecar option and have one in each? And honestly while your twins are small they might both fit in the sidecar. Once they are bigger, there are fewer risks with co-sleeping so it won't be such a big issue to have them in bed with you. Its really just those first few months that are so worrisome (and they are honestly just worrisome no matter what - whether or not they are in your bed!).

Good luck and I hope you find a safe and convenient sleeping arrangement for your and your adorable little guys!

My good friend recommended this one. I haven't used it yet but I did receive one at my baby shower. I hope it works out well!

This is what we have and I love it. It's half the width of a regular pack n play so it doesn't take up as much room. It can be used as a bassinet/cosleeper or a pack n play. I had my first son in bed with me at birth, and he still is at 3yo lol. My second son slept next to our bed for the first 6 months in a fisher price rock n play sleeper. It's much easier to move around to wherever you need it than the cosleeper, but is outgrown around 6-7 months. Then when he got too tall ( he's also huge, 90th %) we switched him to the cosleeper. Now at 17 months he still nurses at night frequently so I just leave him in the middle to fight his brother for space haha.
