Bedside Cots

bedside cots , also known as co-sleepers as they're often referred to as, are specially-designed baby sleeping solutions that allow infants to sleep beside their parents without the risk of SIDS. They resemble Moses baskets, but are attached to the side of a parent's bed. One side is open, so parents can easily reach their infant who is sleeping. These are great for families that want to sleep together but are concerned about the dangers of bed sharing.

Many are concerned about the safety of an infant bassinet or bedside sleeping device however CHOICE has discovered that when used in a safe manner, these products are safe and have a low risk of injuries and accidents. They are also an ideal option for parents struggling with the exhaustion that is often associated with night feeds and early morning nappy changes. Bedside cribs allow you to keep an eye on your little one, and if they wake up during the night or need you to be there for them you'll be able to soothe them or change their nappy fast.

If you're in search of a secure bedside cot, select one with an air-tight, durable mattress. A mattress that is breathable can aid in controlling the body temperature of your child and avoid overheating. A fitted sheet that is sized to fit your mattress is also an excellent idea along with a nappy-changing kit with a waterproof cover. These items are available online or in stores that specialize in baby items. Do not use second-hand or hand-me-down products. They could have been recalls, damaged or are not in compliance with safety standards.


A high-quality bedside crib will be simple to set up and can be removed to store. Some models have tilt positions that can be adjusted which makes it easier for babies to sleep in an elevated position, or for parents with reflux. Some models come with a travel bag, so you can easily pack them up and take them on your journey.

They're easy to clean

Bedside cots are simple to clean, particularly with the right cleaning products. Remove any bedding like sheets, blankets, or cuddly toy and wash them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Vacuum the cot including the mattress. Pay particular attention to the corners and crevices. A mattress protector is also an excellent idea to reduce the accumulation of dust mites and other bacteria.

Next, wipe down the cot with a soft cloth dampened with baby-safe cleaner or a natural stain remover spray. Every now and then, dampen a clean cloth to get rid of soapy residues and keep the surface clean. Use a gentle scrub brush to eliminate staining from the mattress. Baking soda can be used to remove lingering smells. Test the cleaning solution on a small portion of the mattress prior to using it.

It is easier to clean and disinfect the cot if it has been taken apart. You can apply a mild detergent as well as a warm water solution to clean the mattress and its protector.

If your cot is constructed of wood, you can clean it using a mixture warm vinegar and water. This natural disinfectant will kill bacteria without leaving harmful residues or damaging the wood. Test the solution on a small area of the wood to make sure it won't damage it. Then apply the solution using a soft cloth, and allow it to dry before putting it back together.

They are easy to move

A bedside crib can also be known as a bedside bassinet or co-sleeper. It lets your baby to sleep right beside your bed. These cribs are small and portable, making it easy to move from room room when necessary. They are also ideal if your home is small or you are planning to travel with your child.

Bedside cribs, in contrast to regular baby beds are designed to be affixed to the side of your mattress so that you can easily raise and lower your baby for night feedings or soothing. They typically include a drop down side that's ideal for easy lifting and also tilt and height adjustments. Some cribs even convert into full cribs as your child grows, providing you with extra durability and value.

These sleeping solutions are ideal for traveling because they are lightweight and portable. One mom says, "It is small and compact, so it can easily be moved throughout the house and fit in a bag." "My husband can carry it up and down the stairs with ease."

The Shnuggle Air beside crib is a different option that is light which was shortlisted in 2021's Best Cot Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category at the Mother&Baby awards. Another mum, Gulhan Arapoglu, agrees it's lightweight and feels it's sturdy too. But, she notes that it's slightly larger than other cribs for bed and shouldn't be used by babies who are likely to roll or flip.

They're at ease

The best bedside cribs allow babies to sleep with their parents, but in a separate sleeping space. They're usually a lot smaller than a Moses basket or standard cot, and they can be folded and put away when not being used. It's also more convenient to reach for feedings, diaper changes, and even soothing. This makes them ideal for new mothers recovering from a c-section as they don't have to bend as much to look after their little one during the night.

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

You can also buy various bedsides. Some come with the option of a portable bed that you can take with you on your travels and others can be transformed into a baby cot or a toddler's bed. Some bedsides come with an incline position that is ideal for babies suffering from reflux. Depending on your needs and budget, you can also purchase a crib for your bed that attaches to the bed of the parent, or comes with locking wheels to ensure it won't be accidentally moved when the baby is asleep.

If you're considering the bedside sleeper, it's worth choosing one that has a durable and breathable baby mattress to ensure your baby's safety. We recommend a foam mattress with a soft, durable cover. This will keep your baby warm and cozy as they sleep.

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