Bedside Cots


A bedside crib is also known as a bassinet, or side sleeper. It attaches to the parent's mattress and allows the baby to sleep in the same room. These are a safe way to co-sleep, and are a great option for mothers who are recovering from C-sections.

MFM tester Georgina found the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib to be extremely simple and quick to assemble (one of the quickest during testing). It's height adjustable, and can be tilted into an inclined position for babies with reflux and is a great travel cot option.

They're secure

Bedside cots, or cosleepers as they're often referred to as, are specially-designed baby sleeping solutions that allow babies to sleep with their parents without a risk of SIDS. They resemble Moses baskets, but they are attached to the side of a parent's bed. One side is open, allowing parents can easily access their sleeping infant. They're ideal for families who want to benefit from co-sleeping, but are worried about the risks associated with sharing beds.

Many people worry about the safety and effectiveness of a bassinet or bedside mattress. However, CHOICE found that these products, if used correctly are safe and can cause few accidents and injuries. 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 wake up in the middle of the night or call you to help them you'll be able to comfort them or change their nappies quickly.

If you're in search of a secure bedside cot, pick one with an air-tight, durable mattress. A mattress that is breathable can aid in regulating your baby's temperature and stop them from overheating. You should also purchase a fitted sheet that can be fitted to your mattress, as well as a nappy changing kit that has waterproof covers and a mat that can be cleaned. You can purchase these items on the internet and in stores that specialise in baby products. It is important to remember that you shouldn't ever make use of secondhand items or hand-me-downs because they could be recalled or damaged and may not meet necessary safety standards.

A high-quality bedside crib is easy to assemble and can be taken apart when not in use. Some models also have tilt positions which can be adjusted which makes it easier for infants to sleep in an elevated position, or for parents who suffer from reflux. Some models come with an included travel bag so they can be easily packed away and brought with you when you're travelling.

It's easy to clean

Bedside cots are simple to clean, particularly with the right products. Begin by removing any bedding, like blankets, sheets or cuddly toys. Then wash them according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Clean the cot including the mattress. Pay particular attention to the corners and crevices. Mattress protectors can aid in reducing the growth of dust mites, bacteria and other germs.

Next, clean the cot using an abrasive cloth soaked with baby-safe cleaner or a natural stain remover spray. Dampen a fresh cloth regularly to rinse off soapy residue and keep the surface as clean as possible. If the mattress has stains you can use a soft scrub brush to clean them, and add a little baking soda to help eliminate the lingering smells. Test the cleaning solution on a small part of the mattress before applying it.

If the cot is disassembled, it is more accessible to all its surfaces, nooks and crannies for thorough cleaning and sanitizing. You can even use a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe detergent to wash the mattress and its protector.

If the cot is made out of wood, you can disinfect it using a mix of white vinegar and warm water. This natural disinfectant kills bacteria without harming the wood or leaving harmful residues. Test a small piece of wood to ensure it won't be damaged. Then apply the solution using a soft cloth and allow it to dry before putting back together.

A bedside crib can also be called a bedside bassinet or co-sleeper. It lets your baby to sleep right next to your bed. These cribs are lightweight, compact and easy to move around. These cribs are also great when your home is small or you plan on traveling with your child.

Bedside cribs, unlike regular cribs for babies, are designed to be affixed to the side of your mattress so that you can easily lift and lower your newborn to feed them at night or soothe. They typically include a drop-down side that's perfect for lifting easily, as well as adjustable heights and tilt options. Some cribs can be transformed into full cot beds as your child grows. This gives you greater longevity and value.

These sleeping options are perfect for travel because they are lightweight and portable. One mom says, "It is small and compact so it is easy to move around the house and easily can be carried in its own bag." "My husband can carry it up and down with ease."

The Shnuggle Air alongside Crib is a lighter option that's been nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. Gulhan Arapoglu is of the opinion that it is easy to move and is sturdy. But, she notes that it's slightly larger than some bedside cribs and shouldn't be used by babies who may flip or roll.

You'll feel comfortable

The best bedside cribs allow newborns to sleep with their parents however, they have their own sleeping space. They're generally smaller than a Moses basket or standard cot, and they can often be folded away and put away when not in use. They're also much more accessible for nighttime feedings, changing nappies and relaxing. This makes them ideal for mothers who are recovering from a c section as they won't have to bend as low to care for their baby in the middle night.

The crib is also a good choice for parents who are worried about the dangers associated with co-sleeping. This is because the crib is located closer to the bed of the parent and is less prone to the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than sleeping in a standard bassinet or cot. This kind of safe co-sleeping referred to as "rooming in" is crucial for the development of a baby.

You can also purchase a variety of bedsides, some of which include the option of a portable mattress that you can carry with you when travelling and others that convert into a standalone toddler cot or baby cot. Some even have incline positions, which can be great for babies suffering from reflux. Based on your needs and budget, you can also find a bedside crib that is attached to the bed of the parent, or has locking wheels so it won't be accidentally moved while the baby is asleep.

If you're considering sleeping in a bed, it's worth choosing one with a strong and breathable mattress for your baby to ensure your little one's safety. We recommend a foam mattress with a soft, durable cover. This will keep your baby warm and comfortable while they sleep.

There are also bedsides that are simple to collapse and slide down which is a wonderful feature for those 3am bleary-eyed feeds. The Joie Roomie Glide, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Cot, Crib, or Moses Basket, is an example of a bedside cot that's super-easy to lower. It's also compact enough to fit in its travel bag. This is a great feature for parents who are busy.
