Bedside Cots

Bedside cribs are also known as a bassinet, or side sleeper. It is attached to the mattress of the parent and allows the baby to sleep nearby. They are a safe method to co-sleep and are perfect for mothers recovering from c-sections.

MFM tester Georgina said that the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib was easy to assemble. It was one of the quickest during the test. It's height adjustable, and can be tilted into an inclined position for babies with reflux and is a good alternative for travel cots.

You're secure

Bedside cots, also known as co-sleepers as they're often referred to, are specially designed baby sleeping solutions that allow babies to sleep with their parents without the risk of SIDS. They are similar to Moses baskets or a standard baby cot but they fasten to the side of the parent's bed and have one side that is open, allowing parents to access their newborn baby. They are ideal for families who wish to reap the benefits of co-sleeping, but are worried about the potential risks that come with bed sharing.

Many are concerned about the safety of the bassinet or bedside sleeper however CHOICE has found that when used correctly, these products are safe and have a low risk of injuries and accidents. These cribs are also a great option for parents who are new and struggling with exhaustion from night feedings and early morning diaper changes. Bedside cribs let you keep an eye on your child and if they get up in the middle of the night or call you for some reason you'll be able to comfort them or change their nappies quickly.

If you're looking for an cot for your bed that is secure, select one with a mattress that is sturdy and breathable. A mattress that is breathable can aid in regulating the temperature of your baby's body and prevent overheating. It is also recommended to buy a fitted sheet that can be fitted to your mattress, as well as a nappy changing kit that has a waterproof cover and a mat that can be cleaned. You can purchase these items online and in stores that specialise in baby products. Do not use second-hand or hand-me-down products. They may have been damaged, recalled or do not meet the safety standards.

agree with this is simple to assemble and is easily removed when not in use. Some models have adjustable incline positions that make it easier for infants to sleep in a raised position or for parents suffering from reflux. Some models come with a travel bag so you can easily pack them and take them with you on your excursion.

It's easy to clean

Bedside cots are easy to clean, particularly when using the right products. Start by removing any bedding, such as sheets, blankets or cuddly toys. Then wash them according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Then vacuum the cot and its mattress, paying particular focus on the corners and crevices. Mattress protectors can aid in reducing the growth of dust mites, bacteria and other germs.

Next, clean the cot using a soft cloth dampened with baby-safe cleaner or a natural stain remover spray. Clean a clean cloth frequently to wash soapy residue off and keep the surface as clean as possible. Use a soft scrub brush to remove any stains that have accumulated on the mattress. Baking soda can be used to remove lingering smells. Always test a small area of the mattress to make sure the cleaning product is safe for your child.

It is easier to clean and disinfect the cot when it is taken apart. You can also make use of a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe detergent to clean the mattress and its protector.

If your cot is made of wood You can clean it by mixing warm vinegar and water. This natural disinfectant will kill bacteria without leaving harmful residues or causing damage to the wood. Test the solution on a small portion of the wood to ensure that it doesn't harm it. Apply the solution using a soft clean cloth, then let it dry before reassembling.

They're easy to move

A bedside crib, also referred to as a bedside bassinet, is a specially designed infant sleeping solution that allows your baby to sleep next to your bed. They are compact and portable, making them easy to move from room to room as necessary. They're also an excellent choice if you have limited space at home or you plan to travel with your child.

Bedside cribs, unlike regular cribs for babies, are designed to be attached to the side of your mattress, so that you can easily raise and lower your baby to feed them at night or soothe. They usually include a drop down side that's ideal for easy lifting, as well as adjustable heights and tilt options. Some cribs can be converted into full cot beds as your child grows. This will give you greater longevity and value.

Our mom testers are enthralled by the light and portable nature of these sleeping solutions, making them ideal for travel. "It's very small and compact, so it can be tucked away in a travel bag and be transported around the house easily," says one mum. "My husband can carry it up and down the stairs without difficulty."

The Shnuggle Air beside crib is another option for light weight which was shortlisted in 2021's Best Cot Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category at the Mother&Baby awards. Another mom, Gulhan Arapoglu, agrees it's lightweight and feels it's strong too. She does add that it is a little bigger than other cradles for bed and is not recommended for infants who might flip or roll.


They're comfy

The best bedside cribs allow babies to sleep with their parents, but have their own sleeping space. They're usually a lot more compact than a Moses basket or traditional cots, and they are often able to be folded and stored away when not in use. It's also much easier to reach for night feedings, diaper changes and even soothing. This makes them ideal for mothers who are recovering from a c-section since they won't need to bend as much to tend to their infant in the middle of the night.

The crib is also a good choice for parents who are concerned about the risks associated with co-sleeping. This is because the crib is closer to the bed of the parent and has a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than co-sleeping in a regular cot or bassinet. This type of safe co-sleeping is known as rooming in and is an important part of a baby's early development.

You can also buy a variety of bedsides. Some include a portable bed that you can bring to your next trip and others can be converted into a baby cot or a toddler's bed. Some bedsides feature an incline position that is ideal for babies who suffer from reflux. There is also a crib that can be attached to the bed of the parent or has locking wheels. This will stop the crib from being moved by accident when the baby is asleep.

If you're thinking of buying the possibility of a crib next to your bed, make sure it's a comfortable and sturdy mattress for your baby. This will ensure the security of your child. We suggest choosing a foam mattress that's covered with a soft and sturdy cover. This will keep your baby warm and cozy during their sleep.

Some bedsides are also simple to slide and collapse, which is great for those morning feedings when you're exhausted. The Joie Roomie Glide, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Cot, Crib, or Moses Basket, is an example of an incredibly simple bedside cot to lower. It's also compact enough to fit in its travel bag. This is a fantastic feature for parents who are busy.
