How to Choose the Best Bedside Cot uk Both the NHS and the Lullaby Trust have issued official safe sleeping guidelines, which recommend that newborns sleep only in their own Moses basket or cot.

A bedside cot (also known as a bassinet, side sleeper or co-sleeper) is a secure way for your baby to sleep near you during their first months. These cribs attach to your bed and let you lift your child in your arms to feed them at night or for comforting. These cribs are also ideal for mums who are nursing or recovering from a cesarean. They are usually smaller than a standard cot, but still offer plenty of space for your baby to relax. You can pick from a variety of styles and features depending on your preferences. Many cribs with a bedside feature the option of removing or dropping down the side, which makes it easier to reach the baby during feeding time at night. They are also available in different heights depending on the size of your bed. Some cribs with a bedside have a riser which allows you to add an incline in the sleep area. This can help with reflux. They also have the option of a zip-off side to make cleaning easy. Others have manual rocking functions which can be a soothing distraction for your newborn. You'll require a mattress that's comfortable to be used with your crib. It should be at least 30cm in depth to give your baby enough headroom.
