Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to let parents snuggle with their infant at night without the risk of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months, after which your baby is ready to move to a cot. MFM home tester Mehack was impressed that this model comes with a lift-off bassinet you can use around the house and a manual rocking function. It was also easy to put together and came in its own travel bag for convenient storage. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They also often convert into toddler beds, while the cot beds are typically used up to three years old. There are two sizes of wooden cots - big and standard, which can be converted into a toddler bed or a cot. The larger one is a good idea for children who want to sleep in it until they reach approximately three. Jasmine, a MFM mother who tested the product at home, was pleased that it was a bit bigger than a Moses basket, but not too big for the baby's room. She says it's easy to get her baby in and out for night feeding or calming and that the quality is great when compared to other cots she's encountered that feel cheap and flimsy. Emily who is a home-based tester, is thrilled by the flexibility of the Maxi-Cosi lora which is a lift-off, mobile bassinet. It also rocks. It also comes with a reflux incline and a machine washable breathable liner. And it was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. Unlike some International or European cot brands, the Lora can fit South African cot mattresses so you don't have to buy another mattress as your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here. Height When selecting a cot for the bed, look for one that can be elevated to a height that's comfortable for feeding your baby. It should also be able of being dropped down to allow you to lift your baby towards you for feedings at night or soothing. This feature is especially helpful in the event of recovering from C-section. For example, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to an elevation of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma huddle up to 70cm. Another thing to think about is the height you would like to set for the base of your cot. While some moms find it easier to lift their babies out of standard Moses baskets at the lowest height, others prefer a higher base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option and one of our mum testers saying that it has an easy-to-use collapsible part that you can push down with the click of the button. Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device is only suitable when your baby can hold his head up with no assistance, which is typically at around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of suffocation. It's also important to know that if you choose a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a crib and vice versa, you must remove the sides as soon as your child is able to do this, so that they don't get out of bed or get out of the bed. Design There are many different styles of cribs for bedside use with a range of styles from simple to luxurious. Some of the more luxurious options include features like a built-in light, a soothing center that plays music and sound and comes with two levels that help to soothe your baby back to sleep or a swivelling footrest that allows you to reach your child when you need to feed them. Some models can be converted into a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own bed. For instance, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which won Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards in the Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that lets you pick up your newborn and move them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get up. This is ideal for new mums who are recovering from Caesareans or who require bed for longer durations of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying that it was easy to use and made reaching her baby much easier especially after a c-section. bedside baby sleeper is another option. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a lining, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's a bit bigger than other cribs for bed we've tried, but it folds flat into its travel bag, so it's relatively compact when not in use. MFM mom home test Leya loved the practicality of this bedside crib explaining how it was designed with the needs of parents and children in mind. It is lightweight and easy to move. She said that the bassinet's swivelling base was fantastic because it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to make access easier, especially for new mums recovering from C-sections. Safety The main safety aspect of a large bedside cot is that it is able to be raised or lowered to enable parents to reach their baby when they require to feed them, comfort them, or change their nappy. This is why it's perfect for mothers who are still recovering from a C-section. Find a model that lets you lower one side at the press of a button so you can effortlessly lift your baby without getting out of the bed. This is particularly important as your baby gets older and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of suffocation or injury, such as duvets and pillowcases that can cause your baby to become overheated. The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues that include gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance they would need to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. The CPSC determined, however, that these requirements were not efficient or effective in reducing the number of instances in which infants are trapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed. Many of the incidents reported in the NPR included multi-use bedside beds that can be transformed into other modes, such as play yards or bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use that would allow them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that can be removed. This attachment can be permanently fixed or disconnected when the product's not being used as a bassinet for babies. The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside. The Commission will be examining these comments when it votes on the final rule which is expected to be released in the month of November 2021.
