Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus Bedside sleepers let you have your baby in the same room with you, without the risks associated with bed-sharing. They are also a great choice for babies. Models with adjustable height settings will fit perfectly on the majority of bed frames. Choose fabrics that are easy to clean and ventilated. Safety A bedside cot is a bassinet-style cot that fixes to the bed's side to allow safe co-sleeping. It is a great way to pull baby closer to you in the evening for feeding or comforting. it's also a great option for a c-section. It's different from a Moses basket or cot due to the fact that it has high sides, so your baby isn't able to be pushed out. Some come with a tilt feature that can aid babies with reflux and colic. They are also a bit larger than Moses baskets, making them easier to move from room to room. The NHS and the safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust advise that newborns should be kept in their own bassinet or cot in the same room with their parents however, not in your bed. Sharing beds increases the risk of overheating or suffocation. Bedside cribs allow your child to sleep close to you but in a secure and private space. When choosing a bedside crib make sure it is in compliance with the most recent safety standards (it must be BS EN 1130:2019) and has no gaps or parts that could cause your child to become trapped. Choose a mattress that has an even, firm surface. A sagging or too soft mattress can increase your baby's risk of SIDS, so go for a new one rather than second-hand. Lastly, look for a bedding that is fitted and free of any loose blankets or pillows. Pillows pose a risk of suffocation and duvets can get stuck on the baby's face. Use baby bedside co sleeper fitted sheet but ensure that it fits properly. Our MFM mum testers have found that the SnuzPod4 is a great option for a bedside crib, being shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot, Crib, or Moses Basket category. It attaches securely to the bed and features an adjustable height that allows for an ideal fit. It comes with a rocking function and can be set to an inclined position for reflux. It's a good choice for people with narrow or small beds because it does not take up a lot of room. Design The design of a crib for the bed is important as it will be the place where your child will spend the majority of their time. Many cribs are available in a range of colors that can be matched to your decor. Some have features such as mesh windows to keep your baby visible or drop-down sides that make it easier to access. Some even have incline functions to ease reflux. You can adjust the height of most cribs to match the height of your bed, making it easier to get in and out of the bed. Some cribs can be used as travel cots. This is a great feature when you're traveling or visiting relatives. Home tester and MFM mom Leya found the SnuzPod 4's sleek Scandi styling was a perfect match for her bedroom, adding that its compact fold was ideal for space-saving. She also loved that one side of the crib can be lowered, allowing her to take her newborn baby to bed without having to leave her bed. This is particularly helpful in the event that you've had an Caesarean or are recovering from one. You can remain close to your baby for longer. Jasmine is another mum who liked using the SnuzPod 4. She said it was easy for her to move the crib from one room to another and back again - something she didn't find with other bedside cribs. However, she did note that it took some effort to lift and lower the crib since the handle was stiff. Another bedside crib that's simple to fold and move is the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the Best Cot Crib, Moses Basket. Its slim frame and neutral colors will fit in with all bedrooms, though some of our home testers thought the bars were a little too close, which means they could catch on clothes or baby toys. The bars' distance should not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches) in order to keep your baby's head from getting trapped. This crib is also suitable for babies suffering from reflux due to the ComfortAir breathable system helps regulate their body temperature. Comfort You will feel more secure when you are able to reach your baby quickly to feed them during the middle of the night. You can do this without having to get up from bed by having a crib by your bedside. These cribs make it easy to soothe babies to sleep. If you'd like to be able to sleep with your child, but don't want the hassle of having to get up every time they need to be fed, a moses's-basket is an ideal option. The majority of cribs for bedside use can be affixed to the bed's side that allows you to see and access your baby easily. Most have mesh windows which allow you to watch your baby without disrupting him. They may also have a reflux setting to help with colic or reflux. We're amazed by the amount of features on this crib, especially the ComfortAir breathable mattress that works to regulate your baby's temperature and maximise airflow. It's a bit smaller than other cribs for bedside use, which may be helpful when space is tight. Our mom testers agree that this is still an excellent option for those sleepless nights. The cot is secured to the bed's side with adjustable straps, which reduces the possibility of gaps that your child may get caught. It also comes with a sturdy flat mattress that is in line with safety standards and promotes the safest sleeping practices. One thing to keep in mind is that your baby can start to get out of the crib once they're able to sit at around six months. This is why it's important to put them in a cot or other sleeping arrangement when they've outgrown the crib. Another feature to think about is how light the crib is, and if it's suitable for travel. Many of our mothers appreciate that this crib is able to be taken apart for transport However, some aren't able to put it together. It can also be difficult to keep clean and you'll need to clean it regularly with a cloth and a cleaning product. Storage A bedside cot suitable for 6 months and over is a bassinet style cot that attaches to the mattress's side to allow safe co-sleeping. They're ideal for feeding your baby at night and calming babies to sleep and allowing mothers who've had an e-csection to keep their baby close. It's important that you choose cribs that meet the current safety standards. Check that the crib's bars are sufficiently far apart to keep your child's head from getting trapped. Also, make sure that the drop-down sides are secure and doesn't open unintentionally. Also, beware of any stickers or transfers on the cot's surface as they could be dangerous to choking. Emily's top pick for a bedside crib is the Next2me Magic, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It's a decent size and has plenty of storage for the essentials of your baby. It's also small and light enough to be able to fit into a travel bag, if you're planning to move it around. If you're looking for something a bit simpler, she recommends the Shnuggle Air next to the crib.
