Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots, also referred to as bassinets or co-sleepers are designed to let parents sleep close to their babies at night, without the risk of SIDS. However, bedside crib and travel cot are only suitable for use up to 6 months of age when your baby will be required to move into a cot, or a moses basket. Mehack is an MFM home tester, was awed by the fact that this model has a bassinet that can be used throughout the house. It also comes with an option to rock manually. It was simple to put together, and it came with a travel bag. Size Cots and cot beds vary in terms of size, with cots being smaller than beds for cots. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only used by children up to the age of three. There are two sizes of wooden cots - big and standard, which can be transformed into a toddler bed or cot. Selecting the larger one is a good choice if you want your child to sleep in it until they reach approximately three. MFM mom home test Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was slightly bigger than a Moses basket, but not too big for her baby's room. She says it's easy to lift her baby in and out for night feeding or soothing and that the quality is excellent when compared to other cots she's seen that feel flimsy. Another home tester, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is - it's a lift-off bassinet that you can move around the house, and it rocks too. It also comes with an option to tilt the reflux upwards and a machine-washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. The Lora fits South African cot mattress unlike other international or European brands. This means you don't need to buy a brand new mattress when your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Here you can find the ideal mattress for your cot. Height When choosing a crib for your bed, choose one that can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It should also be able to be lowered down so that you can lift your baby up towards you during night feedings or soothing. This feature is especially helpful in the event of recovering from an operation such as a C-section. For example the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to a height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm. It is also important to consider the level you'd like the base of your crib to be. While some mothers find it easier to lift their babies out of the standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, others prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. One of our testers for mums stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It has an easily collapsible side that you can push at the push of the button. Keep in mind that a bedside or bassinet should only be used until your baby can hold their head up unaided, usually at around 6 months. This is because of the possibility of suffocation. Be aware that when your child is old enough to turn an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot you will have to remove the sides as soon as they are able to do this. This will prevent them from getting out or falling out of the bed. Design There are a variety of cribs for beds that range from basic to extravagant. Some of the most expensive options come with features like a built-in light and a soothing center that plays music and sound and has two levels to help ease your baby back to sleep. Another option is an adjustable footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child to feed them. You may also find some models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to move to their own bigger bed. For example the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air which was awarded Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has an adjustable base that lets you pick up your baby and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get out of bed. This is ideal for new mums who are recovering from Caesarean births or who need to stay in bed for longer periods of time. Jasmine, a MFM mom who tried this product at home, said it was simple to use and made it easier to reach her baby - especially after a C-section. Chicco Next2me Magic is another option. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards to be the best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's slightly larger than some of the other cribs for bed we've tested but it folds flat into its travel bag, so it's quite compact when not in use. MFM mum home test Leya loved the practicality of this bedside crib she explained how it was created with parents and babies in mind. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. Its swivelling base is fantastic because it lets you move the bassinet from side to side, and one of its sides can be lowered down to make access easier - particularly for new mums who are recovering from c-sections,' she said. Safety The main safety aspect of a large bedside cot is that it can be moved up or down to allow parents to reach their baby when they require to feed them, soothe them or change their nappy. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from an c-section. You should look for a design which lets you lower the sides of the bed with a simple button press. This will allow you to easily lift your child without having to get out of the bed. This is important, especially when your baby grows and becomes more mobile. You'll also want to be careful not to add anything to the crib that increases the risk of suffocation or injury, such as pillows and duvets, which could cause babies to become overheated. bedside sleeper cot included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems that included gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing parts (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC considered the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance the products would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rails that are lowered. The CPSC found, however that these requirements weren't practical or effective in reducing the amount of instances where infants are trapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed. A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR included multi-use bedside beds which can be converted to other modes, such as play yards or bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multiuse bedside sleepers to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement for bassinets using a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or disconnected when the item is not being used as a bassinet. The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to be published in the month of November 2021.
