A Step-By-Step Guide To Choosing The Right Bedside Cot Co Sleeper
Bedside Co-Sleeper - What is a Bedside Co-Sleeper?

A bedside co-sleeper consists of a bassinet welded to the side of your mattress, which allows you to reach your baby during the middle of the night. This kind of co-sleeping is suggested by The Lullaby Trust and NHS as it lets you keep your baby close without risking SIDS.

Peace of Mind

Co-sleeping is a great parenting choice. Some parents worry that sleeping with their baby increases the risk of SIDS. However studies such as those conducted by NHS suggest the reverse. However, it's important to keep in mind that co-sleeping is sharing a single sleeping surface and can therefore increase the risk of SIDS if not done so in a safe manner. Co-sleeping beds in cots have been designed to offer a safe middle ground between bed-sharing and separate sleeping areas, allowing a parent to reach over their child and gently soothe them without leaving the safety of their bed.

It is essential to feed and comfort your baby frequently. However, parents who are tired might find it difficult to get up from their bed to feed their child. The bedside co sleeper allows parents the option of keeping their baby close and not leave their bed. Some co sleepers come with an innovative design, like the SnuzPod. The four walls can be opened to transform the cot into a cradle, giving an additional layer of protection. This allows exhausted parents to watch their newborns while they sleep.

Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can increase the risk of SIDS. It's not recommended to co-sleep with a baby if the father or mother has an history of having a snore. The NHS suggests that young babies are always sleeping on their backs in order to minimize the chance of rolling and death. A bedside cot or bassinet is the best method to ensure this.

Safety

While co-sleeping is commonly practiced in a number of countries However, the NHS advises that infants should be in their own cots rather than sharing your bed. This is due to the higher risk of overheating or suffocation. Babies who sleep with their parents are more likely covered by pillows, blankets or sheets. This could lead to SIDS. A bedside crib can be a great solution. The crib is located close to the parents, preventing suffocation or overheating of the baby. It can be reached easily to feed the baby at night and also for soothing.

Parents across the globe were eagerly anticipating the Dutch cosleeping pod when it first became viral in 2004. They wanted to test safe cosleeping. Despite the excitement, doctors do not fully agree with the idea of a bed that connects to the side of a adult bed.

The most significant concern is that a parent might roll onto an infant and cause strangulation or the child to suffocate. The risk of this happening is particularly high if a parent smokes, drinks alcohol or taking drugs while asleep. Overheating, falling and maternal death are also a possibility.

If you choose to purchase a bedside sleeper, it's essential that you choose one that meets the highest safety standards. bedside cots for newborns should be snugly fitted without gaps and must not be susceptible to sagging. Also, you should be aware of the recommended weight and age for the person sleeping.

All new bedside sleepers will have to comply with the new safety standard which was launched in November of 2020. It replaces the earlier standards. You may still see older models on sale in a few stores however, they are gradually disappearing as manufacturers make the transition to the new safety standards.

If you opt for an older model be sure it is in good shape prior to purchasing it. Check that the mechanism used to fix the bed to the mattress of the parent is sturdy and doesn't leave gaps. Also, make sure that the mattress fits in the sleeper properly without any gaps or bulges. bedside cots for newborns should fit snugly too to ensure that the baby can't squiggle around and get stuck in a pocket, or be at risk of suffocation.

Convenience

Sleep experts like Lullaby Trust advise against bed-sharing. A bassinet or bedside crib can be a safer choice. They are designed to attach to the sides of parents' bed, keeping baby in reach for feeding at night and relaxing. This means that tired parents don't have to leave their bed at night, and they can keep an eye on their baby whilst still getting a goodnight's sleep.


Babies who sleep in a separate bedroom are more likely to suffer breathing pauses (apnoea) and are also at an increased risk of SIDS. Research has shown that babies sleep better when they are in close to their parents. You can also react quickly to any issue or concern your baby, making them more comfortable.

Selecting the ideal bassinet or bedside crib that is suitable for your family will depend on a number of factors, including your living environment and long-term plans. For example, if you are living with a spouse or household member who may want to use the bedside crib, it may be beneficial to consider convertible options that can be converted into separate cribs or toddler beds as your child grows older. We suggest contacting us to inquire about this option.

The bedside crib encourages bonding between the mother and baby. It is a convenient and safe option for new parents who are tired. Studies have shown breastfeeding mothers tend to nurse longer when their infant is close. This results in an increased bond between the two.

This is the reason why the bedside cot is popular and is a good choice for any new mum who would like to keep their baby close by. When purchasing a bassinet or co-sleeper, you need to make sure that it is in compliance with Lullaby Trust and safe sleep guidelines. It's also worth assessing the cost of your purchase, because there are options at all prices.
