Newborn Bedside Cot A newborn bedside cot is a compact sleeper that allows new babies to sleep in the same room as their parents without the dangers of co-sleeping (which the AAP recommends against due to suffocation and SIDS). It also makes nursing sessions and baby care easier. This mattress has a mattress that is firm and supports babies' backs, reducing the risk of SIDS. It can be swiveled over your bed to make it easier for you to carry your child out for midnight nursing or cuddles at sunrise. Budget A bedside cot, sometimes referred to as a co-sleeper is an infant cot with a bassinet design that can be attached to your bed. This allows you to comfortably and safely reach your newborn for middle-of-the-night feeding or cuddles. These are ideal for moms and babies recovering after a c section because they provide easy access to the baby without having to get up from the bed. There are a variety of styles that are available, from the simple ones with the drop-down side, to more sophisticated models that offer various adjustment options, such as incline or height. Many convert to an independent crib for daytime naps or when your baby is around a few months old and is sleeping more at night. One of our favorites is the Maxi-Cosi Lora which was nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards, including the categories of Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. MFM home tester Emily said she was impressed by how chic and modern the design was. She also liked the fact that it can be used as a bassinet, or a clip to your existing bed for safe side-byside sleeping. She also liked its plush mattress that was able to pass our tests of firmness and it also has an option to manually tilt it for reflux sufferers. But she wasn't thrilled with the fact that it had a non-mesh panel on the foot end and thought it was a bit bulky to move from room to room frequently. She also found it to be a little heavy to carry up and down the stairs when it was folded up into its travel bag. Size A bedside cot is similar to the bassinet, which is placed on the side of your bed. It's easy to reach your baby's mouth for feedings, changing nappies or just to soothe them during the night. It's great for mothers recovering from an o-section. The NHS and Lullaby Trust advise that you keep your baby in the same room as you, but keep them separate from you for the first six months, as this can help reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). A crib for your bed is a safe method to achieve this as it has low sides and allows you to easily reach your baby during the night. It is essential that your baby is sleeping on a firm, not an extremely soft mattress. Babies don't have motor control to rotate and a mattress that is soft could increase the risk of suffocation. This mattress is made of skin-friendly and air-tight materials. It is comfortable for your baby but sufficient to be secure. Mum home test Jasmin was pleased with the fact that the crib does not take up a lot of space in her bedroom. Also, she found the size perfect for a baby. She said the mattress was also good quality, unlike some that feel flimsy and thin. She also likes that it has a storage space beneath for blankets and clothes – something she says many bassinets don't have. Mehack, a MFM mother who has tested the product at home, is thrilled that you can remove the side wall to allow for easier access to your baby. She also likes the fact that the legs can be tucked under the bed to look less bulky and take up less floor space. She is also impressed by how it was simple to move around the house when she needed to for feeds and check-ins during the night. A recipient of a Gold award in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards The CoZee Air is a popular choice for parents. It features a smart design with four pulleys that are built-in to raise or lower the crib and includes a large storage basket for toys, blankets and other essentials. It's also easy to assemble and light, which is useful to travel with your baby. Safety When choosing a new baby's bedside cot, it is important to keep safety in mind. The official safe sleep guidelines from both the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that babies do not sleep in their parents' beds due to the risk of overheating, suffocation and a higher chance of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bedside bassinets allow parents to keep their newborns close, facilitating night time feedings as well as monitoring without needing to leave their bed. This close proximity also assists breastfeeding mothers by allowing them to attend to their baby's needs without waking up in the middle of the night, which can help to keep the supply of milk steady and help the breastfeeding experience. Some cots with a bedside are equipped with adjustable height options, which can ensure that the bassinet is an ideal height for mother and baby to allow ease of access during feedings or for care. Many bassinets are equipped with mattresses that are firm. This is designed to reduce suffocation risk and meets the standards of the industry. This is essential because newborn's bones are soft and aren't fully developed. They need to be supported to avoid damage. The mattress should be encased in a fitted sheet to minimize the risk of suffocation from dust mites or other allergens. It should also be kept clean and free of allergens. Some cribs for bedside use can be tilted. This is helpful for babies suffering from reflux or digestive problems. However, this should be done with care and with caution. It is also important to avoid putting pillows, duvets or crib bumpers to the bassinet, as they can create the risk of suffocation for your baby and should only be used when the cot is set on an even surface. It's also worth looking into an infant bassinet that has an attachment system that is secure and can be easily attached to your existing bed without the need for tools. This is particularly beneficial for parents who find it difficult to carry their child into and out of the crib or are concerned about their baby accidentally rolling over during sleep. If your bassinet has secured attachments, it is a good idea to check it frequently. Check to ensure there aren't any gaps and that the system is securely attached. Comfort If you're a soon-to-be parent, the comfort of your child is among your top concerns. There's a brand new sleep solution that lets you keep your baby close to you at night without the risk of sharing the bed. The newborn bedside crib is a bassinet-style cot that is attached to the side of the bed. It allows you to safely carry your baby towards you for feedings and comfort. It's also the perfect choice for mothers recovering from a c-section, since it makes it less necessary to bend too much or even get out of the bed. Modern cots for infants should have a flat, firm mattress to encourage safe sleeping practices and reduce the risk Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The bedding should be simple, with a cot sheet and a blanket that is tightly tucked at the bottom. Avoid bumpers, toys or pillows since they could be thrown over your baby and pose a danger of suffocation. If bedside travel crib is used to being swaddled during a few weeks then you can use a swaddle, or a baby sleep bag. But, it should be removed when they are strong enough to remove them. Some cribs with a bedside feature a removable or drop-down side that gives you the baby to be easily accessible to feed and comfort them during the middle of the night. This is a great feature for parents who want to keep the bond between them and their child while still following NHS safe sleep guidelines. If you're planning to sleep in the same bed with your baby it's important to know that this practice has been associated with an increased risk of SIDS, particularly when a parent accidentally rolls onto their infant while they sleep. A breathable fabric is another essential safety feature, as it's designed to keep your baby cool and comfortable throughout the night. This is particularly crucial if you plan to co-sleep your newborn because the risk of overheating during sleep increases. The SnuzPod4 features a unique side panel made of breathable mesh that aids in improving airflow and keep your baby snug in their bed.
