Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to let parents rest with their baby at night without risk of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months, when your baby is ready to be moved to a cot. MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model has a lift-off bassinet you can use around the house and an option to rock manually. It was simple to put together, and it came with a travel bag. Size Cots are smaller than cots. Cots can also be transformed into toddler beds. However they are typically intended for children who are the age of three. If you're opting for a wooden cot, you'll find two sizes available - standard and large - both of which convert into a cot bed/toddler mattress. The larger of the two is a good option when you want your child to sleep in it until they are +/- three. MFM mother home tester Jasmine was pleased that this bedside cot was a little bigger than a Moses basket but not too large for the space of her baby's. It's easy to carry her child in and out for feeding or soothing and that the quality is excellent when compared to other cots she's seen that are flimsy. Emily, another home-based tester, is thrilled by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi lora that is a lift-off, mobile bassinet. It also is a rock. It also has an option for inclining the reflux and a machine-washable liner that breathes. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. 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. However, it requires a special bespoke bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here. Height When you are choosing a cot for your bed choose one that can be raised to a height that's comfortable for you when feeding babies. It must also be lower away from the way, so you can raise your baby towards you to feed them at night or comfort him. This is especially useful when you're recovering from a C-section. For example, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to the height of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma huddle up to 70cm. You should also think about how low you would like the bottom of your crib to be. Some mums find that it is easier to lift their infants from their standard Moses baskets if the base is at the lowest point, while some prefer a higher elevation to give them greater stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option, with one of our mom testers stating that it comes with a simple collapsible side that is easy to use at the push of a button. Be aware that a bedside or bassinet should only be used until your baby can hold their head up without assistance typically approximately 6 months. This is due to the possibility of suffocation. Be aware that if your child is old enough to be able to convert a bassinet/bedside sleeping system into a cot you must remove the sides as soon as they are ready to do this. This will stop them from climbing out or falling out of the bed. Design There are a variety of styles of cribs for bedside use that range from basic to extravagant. Some of the most extravagant options include features such as an integrated light, a soothing center that plays music and sounds and comes with two levels to help soothe your baby back to sleep. best bedside cot is a swivelling footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child to feed them. Certain models can be converted into an infant bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance, won Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It features a swivelling bottom that allows you to pick up your baby and transfer them to the other side of the crib without having to get out of bed. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or those who have to stay in bed for prolonged periods of time. Jasmine, a MFM mom who tried this product at home, said that it was simple to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby, especially after a c-section. Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and includes an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline, and rocking function. It's bigger than the other cribs for bed that we've tested, however it folds into its travel bag to make it a small size when not in use. Leya, MFM mum home tester also praised the bedside crib's functionality. She claimed that it was designed to be used by parents and babies. It is easy to move and super-sturdy. She said that the bassinet's pivoting base was brilliant because it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to make access easier for moms who are recovering from c-sections. Safety The most important security feature of a large bedside cot is that it is able to be moved up or down to allow parents to reach their baby when they need to feed, comfort them, or change their nappy. This means that it's ideal for new mothers who may still recovering from a C section. Find a model that lets you lower one side with the push of a button. This way, you can easily lift your baby up without getting out of bed. This is important, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. You should also not add anything to the crib that increases the risk of suffocation or injury, such as duvets and pillows, which can cause babies to overheat. The NPR released by the CPSC NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product issues that included gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents) as well as consumer misassembly, or missing parts (6 incidents) and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of introducing 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 rails that are lowered. The CPSC found, however that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing the number of incidents where infants are entrapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed. The majority of the incidents covered in the NPR concerned multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted into other types of equipment, like play yards or bassinets. Many commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would allow them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that can be removed. This attachment can be permanently fixed or removed when the item is not being used as a baby bassinet. The CPSC is examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into account these comments when it votes on the final rule that is expected to come out in November 2021.
