Bedside Cots

A bedside crib is also known as a bassinet or side sleeper. It is attached to the mattress of the parent and lets the baby sleep in the same room. They are a safe method to co-sleep and are perfect for mothers recovering from c-sections.

You're secure

Bedside cots, also known as co-sleepers as they're also known as, are specially-designed infant sleeping solutions that allow babies to sleep next to their parents without a risk of SIDS. They're similar to Moses baskets or a standard baby cot, however, they attach to the side of the parent's bed and feature one side that is open, allowing parents to have access to their newborn infant. They are ideal for families who want to enjoy the benefits of co-sleeping but are concerned about the risks associated with bed sharing.

Many people are concerned about the safety and efficacy of a bassinet or bedside mattress. However, CHOICE found that these products, when used correctly are safe and can cause fewer injuries and accidents. They are also an ideal choice for new parents who are experiencing exhaustion which can result from nighttime feedings and early morning nappy changes. Bedside cribs allow you to monitor your little one, and if they wake awake in the night or need you to help them, you'll be able to comfort them or change their nappies quickly.

If you're looking for a secure bedside cot, select one with an air-tight, durable mattress. A mattress that is breathable will help regulate your baby's body temperature and prevent overheating. You should also purchase a fitted mattress that will fit your mattress and a nappy changing kit that has waterproof covers and a mat with wipes. You can find all these items on the internet and at stores that specialize in baby products. It is important to remember that you should never use hand-me-downs or secondhand products, as these may be recalled or damaged and not meet the standard safety requirements.

A good quality bedside crib will be simple to set up and can be removed to store. Some models come with adjustable incline positions, which make it easier for children to sleep in a raised position or for parents suffering from reflux. Some models come with a travel bag, so you can easily pack them up and take them with you on your trip.

It's easy to clean

Bedside cots are simple to clean, particularly when using the right cleaning products. Start by removing bedding, such as sheets, blankets or cuddly toys, and washing them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Then vacuum the cot and its mattress, paying special attention to the corners and crevices. Mattress protectors are also beneficial to reduce the build-up of dust mites and other germs.

Then, clean the cot using a soft cloth dampened with baby-safe cleaner or a natural stain removal spray. Always dampen a new cloth to wash soapy residues and keep the cot clean. If the mattress has staining, use a gentle scrub brush to treat them, and add a little baking soda to help eliminate the lingering odours. Always test a small section of the mattress to ensure the cleaning product is safe for your baby.

It is easier to clean and disinfect the cot once it is disassembled. You can even use a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe detergent to wash the mattress and its protector.

If the cot is made from wood, you can disinfect it using a mix of white vinegar and warm water. This natural disinfectant kills bacteria, without damaging the wood or leaving harmful residues. Take a small sample of wood to make sure it isn't damaged. Then, apply the solution with a soft cloth and allow it to dry before putting it back together.

They are easy to move

A bedside crib, also referred to as a co-sleeper, or bedside bassinet is a specifically designed infant sleeping solution that allows your baby to sleep beside your bed. These cribs are portable, compact and easy to move around. They are also ideal for homes with small spaces or you are planning to travel with your child.

In contrast to regular cribs for babies, bedside cribs are designed to attach to the side of your bed so that you can easily lift your newborn into and out for nighttime feedings and comfort. They are made with a drop-down or removable side for easy lifting. They also have adjustable heights and tilts. Some cribs can be made into full cot-beds as your child grows. This provides you with greater longevity and value.

Our mom testers are enthralled by the portability and light weight of these sleeping options, making them ideal for traveling. One mum said, "It is small and compact, which means it can easily be moved around the home and can be carried in its own bag." "My husband is able to carry it up and downstairs without difficulty."

The Shnuggle Air next to the crib is another option for light weight that was shortlisted for 2021's Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket category at the Mother&Baby awards. Gulhan Arapoglu is of the opinion that it's easy to move around and is solid. She does add that it's a bit larger than other cradles for bed and not recommended for babies who might flip or roll.

You'll feel comfortable

The best cribs for bedside use allow newborns to sleep with their parents, but in a separate sleeping area. They're usually more compact than a Moses Basket or standard crib and can be folded up and put away when not being used. They're also a lot easier to reach for nighttime feeds, nappy changes and relaxing. This makes them ideal for new mums recovering from a c-section as they won't have to bend down as much to tend to their infant during the night.

They're also a great choice for parents who want to have a restful night's sleep and are concerned about the risks of co-sleeping. This is because the crib is closer to the bed of the parent and has a lower chance of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than sleeping in a standard bassinet or cot. This type of safe co-sleeping is called rooming in and is a vital part of a baby's early development.

You can also purchase a variety of bedsides. Some come with an inflatable bed that you can bring along on your travels, while others can be transformed into a baby crib or a toddler's bed. Some even have incline positions which are great for babies suffering from reflux. Depending on your needs and budget, you can also purchase a crib for your bed that is attached to the bed of the parent or has locking wheels so it won't be accidentally moved while the baby sleeps.

If you're thinking of buying the possibility of a crib next to your bed, ensure it's a ventilated and sturdy mattress for your baby. This will ensure the safety of your child. We recommend an inflatable mattress that is covered with a soft, durable cover. This will keep your baby warm and comfortable as they sleep.

Some bedsides are also simple to collapse and slide and slide, which is ideal for those morning feeds when you're exhausted. The Joie Roomie Glide, shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category, is a great example of a bedside crib that is easy to lower. It's also compact enough to fit in its travel bag. This is a great feature for parents who are busy.
