The Best Bedside Cots A bedside cot is a bassinet-style crib that can be attached to your bed and allows your infants to sleep close. This is a great choice for parents who want their child to be near for peaceful feedings during the first few months of his life. The HALO BassiNest Essentia took home our top bedside cot in our test, offering a swiveling bed and sidewalls that drop down easily. This makes it easy to reach over and comfort them. Safety A bedside cot is an ideal solution for parents who want to keep their child close but not sacrifice safety. This type of crib is attached to one side of your mattress. It also has a movable end so you can reach out to your baby. You can use a bedside crib to feed your baby at night or to soothe them to sleep. It's also a great option for mums who have had a C-section. Bedside cots are available in a variety of sizes and styles and some even have storage. When choosing a bedside cot, be sure to check the safety features. The Boori Oasis Oval Cot has an attractive design and is simple to put together. Its oval shape is ideal for babies who roll around in their sleep. They won't be stuck in a corner as they would with the rectangular cot. This cot is also easy to fit through standard door frames, which is a big plus for space-stretched new parents. Another option is the La Redoute Willox Adjustable Cot Bed. This cot is an excellent all-purpose cot, with plenty of features that simplify parenting and have beautiful design. Its adjustable sides allow it to grow with your child, and later transform into an infant's bed when the time arrives. It is also lightweight so it is easy to move around. A high mesh crib side is a great feature to put on a bedside crib. This will keep your baby from falling. It should be securely attached to your bed without gaps or loose parts. If you're not confident about fitting a bedside cot by yourself or hiring a professional, let a professional do it for you. Co-sleeping is not recommended until your baby is at least six months of age. The Lullaby Trust, as well as the NHS recommend that you should not allow your baby to sleep in your bed. This is because of the danger of suffocation and overheating. If you must co-sleep with your child, a crib at the bedside is the best option. Size A bedside cot, also known as a bassinet, is a cot that attaches to the sides of your mattress. It comes with a side that can be lifted or lowered to allow you to reach your baby easily without the need to leave the bed. They are a favorite of famous moms like Stacey Solomon, Binky Felstead and Lucy Mecklenburgh and are perfect for those who may have a limited mobility following having a C-section. The Maxi-Cosi Lora is our top pick. It comes with the ability to peek at you to see your child at the bottom of the mattress. It can also be adjusted to your mattress height but some mothers have complained about the difficulty of moving it up and down. It's also among our lightest options and folds into a suitcase-sized package. This makes it perfect for travel with your baby. The Slumber 3-in-1 is another great option. It can be used as a travel bassinet or cot, and it also doubles as a playpen. This product won the gold award at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards, in the category of Best Cot or Moses Basket or Crib. Cots For Tots comes with a useful storage shelf below and is extremely light to lift into and out of the car. However, some mums were concerned that it was too large and wide for small spaces, particularly when it is used as a bedside sleeping device. Design The best cribs for your bed are modern, sleek and stylish. Some cribs feature innovative designs like a peek-aboo flap on the sides that let you check on your baby without disturbing him. Other features such as adjustable heights are helpful when your spouse is having difficulties getting out of bed. Some sleepers are also suitable as an cot, bassinet or for babies with reflux. There are plenty of options if you're looking for something more traditional. A few of our favourites are the CoZee Air from Tutti Bambini which was awarded bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Award Best Cot Crib, Moses or Basket category and the Next2me Magic, which was shortlisted in the same category. Both come with adjustable heights, and can be converted into a travel cot to use when away from home. They're also extremely light and easy to move from room room. Some mums prefer the Lua Bedside sleeper that comes with a changing mat, storage area and a collapsible bassinet for babies that can be transformed into a portable mini cot. It also comes with a storage bag. Jasmine says that it is the perfect size for infants and is larger than Moses baskets that may feel flimsy or thin. The iCandy Cocoon is another great alternative. It can be used as a Moses Basket as a cot, cot, or travel cot. It comes with a pop-up changing table as well as a shelf to store toys and books, and an adjustable mesh side that lets you view your baby. It's not the tiniest one, but it's simple to move and looks sleek in any bedroom. Cost Cost is a major aspect when shopping for a crib, bassinet or bedside sleeper. Certain of the most popular models can be quite expensive. However, there are many cheaper alternatives. Some even come in a variety of styles and colors to match your nursery's decor. The best bedside cribs are adjustable and can be raised up to the height of your mattress. Some models come with an incline option that is perfect for babies suffering from reflux. Some models come with a bag for travel and can be folded up when not in use. This is perfect for mothers who are constantly traveling or having guests over. Bedside cots are typically slightly larger than Moses baskets, but smaller than cribs. Some are able to be moved from one room to another, and others have a side which can be raised to allow you to lift your child towards you to feed them or comfort him. Some come with a built-in rocker to help soothe your baby to sleep. The Clair de Lune is a mid-priced model that was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot Crib, Moses Basket category. The design is sleek and elegant, but it's slightly larger than some of the other options, so it may not be the best choice for small spaces. It's also quite heavy at over 10kg, and needs a lot of maneuvering to get it in the proper position. Emily from Clair de Lune also notes that it's not as simple to move in and out of as other sleepers for bed, due to the sides don't flex much and you'll have to bend to pick up your baby.
