Five Tools That Everyone Within The Newborn Bedside Cot Industry Should Be Using
travel bedside crib is a tiny sleeping device that allows babies to sleep in the same room with their parents, without the dangers of co-sleeping. (The AAP warns against this due to the risk of SIDS and the risk of suffocation.) It also makes mid-night nursing sessions and child care more convenient.

This sleeper features a firm mattress to help babies' backs and minimize the chance of SIDS. It can be swiveled over your adult bed to allow you to lift your baby to snuggle them at sunrise or for late night nursing.

Budget

A bedside cot, sometimes referred to as a co-sleeper, is the bassinet-style baby cot that can be attached to your bed. This allows you to reach your baby easily and safely for a mid-night feed, comforting, or cuddles. They are a great choice for mums or new parents recovering from a csection as they offer easy access to baby and do not require you to get up from your bed.

There are a variety of designs that are available, from the basic ones with just an upside-down side to more sophisticated models that have various adjustment options, such as an incline or a height. The majority of them can be converted into a separate crib for napping during the daytime or when your baby is about months old and sleeps longer at night.

One of our favourites is the Maxi-Cosi Lura, which was nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards, including the categories of Best Cot Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket. MFM home tester Emily said she was impressed by how chic and contemporary the design is, while she appreciated the fact that you can use it as a regular bassinet, or clip it to your existing bed to ensure that you can sleep side-by-side. She also appreciated its luxurious mattress which passed our firmness tests, and that it has an option to manually tilt it for those who suffer from reflux.

She wasn't a fan of the fact that it had a mesh panel at the bottom, and she thought it was too heavy to move around from room to room. It also felt a bit heavy to carry up and down the stairs when folded into a bag for travel.

Size


A bedside cot is a bassinet that is placed on the side of your bed. It is easy to reach your baby's mouth for feedings, changing nappies or just to soothe them in the middle of the night. It's also great for mothers recovering from a C-section.

The NHS and Lullaby Trust recommend that you keep your baby separate from you during the first six month, to decrease the chance of SIDS. A bedside crib is a safe method to achieve this as it is low-sided and lets you easily access your newborn at night.

It is essential that your baby sleeps on a firm mattress since it is more secure than a soft one. Newborns don't have the motor control to rotate and a mattress that is soft can increase the risk of suffocation. The mattress is made of skin-friendly and breathe-able materials. It's comfortable for your baby but firm enough to be safe.

Mum home tester Jasmin loved that the crib does not take up much space in her bedroom and she found the size perfect for a newborn. The mattress she rated as also of good quality, as opposed to some that feel flimsy and thin. She also likes the fact that it has storage space beneath for bedding and clothes which many bassinets don't have.

Mehack, a MFM mom who tried the product at home, is thrilled the ability to remove the wall on the side to allow for easier access to your baby. She also loves that the legs tuck under the bed so that it doesn't appear heavy or take up too much floor space. She's also impressed with how it was simple to move around her home when she needed to for feeds and check-ins during the night.

A winner of an Gold award at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards The CoZee Air is a popular choice for parents. It has a clever design with four pulleys built-in to raise or lower the crib. It has a large storage basket for your baby's blankets, toys and other essentials. It is also light and easy to assemble and is ideal to travel with your baby.

Safety

It is important to think about safety when choosing a newborn bedside crib. Official safe sleep advice from both the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that babies do not sleep in parent's beds because of the risks of suffocation, heat exhaustion and a higher chance of suffering from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bassinets for bedside use allow parents to keep their infants close, which allows for nighttime feedings as well as comforting and monitoring without needing to get out of bed.

This close proximity can also aid breastfeeding mothers since it allows them to attend to the needs of their infant while also sleeping. This can help maintain the supply of milk and encourage breastfeeding. Some cots for bedside use adjustable height features that make it easier for mother and child to access the bassinet for feedings or other care throughout the night.

A lot of bassinets have a firm mattress, which is designed to decrease the risk of suffocation and is in line with industry standards. It is essential to provide support for the bones of a newborn, as they are still soft and aren't fully formed. The mattress should be covered with a fitted sheet to decrease the risk that dust mites or other allergens, could suffocate a child. It must be kept clean and free of irritants.

Some cots for bedside use have the capability of being tilted. This can be useful for babies with reflux or digestive issues, but this should always be done with great caution and at a moderate angle. Avoid placing pillows, duvets, or padded crib bumpers in the bassinet. These could create a risk of suffocation for your baby.

You should also think about the bassinet with a secure attachment system. This can be connected to your existing bed easily without the need of tools. This can be especially helpful for parents who may struggle to lift their baby in and out of the cot or concerned about the possibility of rolling over in the night. If your bassinet does have a secure attachment system it's an excellent idea to periodically ensure that it's securely secured and that there aren't any gaps or loose parts that could cause danger.

Comfort

If you're expecting a child, the safety of your child is definitely one of your top concerns. There's a new sleep solution that lets you keep your baby close at night, without the danger of sharing a bed. The baby bedside cot is essentially a bassinet-style cot that fixes to the side of your bed and allows you to take them away for night feeding and soothing. It is also a great choice for mums recovering from a c-section, because it eliminates the need to bend over too much or even take a step out of bed.

Modern bedside cots for babies should have a flat, firm mattress to encourage safe sleeping practices and reduce the risk Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The bedding should be simple, comprising a cot sheets and blanket tucked tightly on the bottom. Avoid bumpers, toys or pillows as these can be thrown over your baby and cause suffocation hazard. If your baby has been used to being swaddled for a few weeks then you can use a swaddle, or a baby sleep bag. However, this should be removed once they have the strength to remove them.

Some bedside cribs have a removable or drop-down side that allows easy access to your newborn for middle-of-the-night feeds and comforting. This is a great option for parents who wish to maintain the bond between them and their child while still following NHS safe sleep advice. If you're planning to sleep in the same bed as your child, it's important to understand that this practice has been associated with an increased risk of SIDS particularly if a parent unintentionally is able to roll onto their infant during sleep.

A fabric that is breathable is an essential safety feature, as it's designed to keep your baby cool and comfortable throughout the night. This is particularly important if you plan to sleep with your baby since the chance of overheating increases during sleep. The SnuzPod4 features a unique breathable mesh side panel that helps improve the flow of air and keep your baby snug in their mattress.
