Newborn Bedside Cot A newborn bedside crib is a tiny sleeping device that allows babies to sleep in the same space as their parents without the dangers of co-sleeping. (The AAP warns against this because of the risk of SIDS and inhalation.) It also makes mid-night nursing sessions and child care more convenient. This sleeper comes with a mattress that is firm and supports babies backs, which reduces the chance of SIDS. It can be swiveled over your adult bed to make it easier for you to carry your baby out for midnight cuddles or a sunrise kiss. Budget A bedside crib, also referred to as a co-sleeper or bassinet is a bassinet-style crib that can be attached to your bed. This allows you to safely and easily reach your newborn for middle-of-the-night feeding or cuddles. These are great for moms and babies recovering after a c section because they provide the baby to be easily accessible without needing to get out of the bed. There are a variety of designs available, ranging from simple ones with the drop-down side, to more sophisticated ones that offer numerous adjustment options, like the ability to tilt or raise. Most convert to a standalone crib for daytime naps or when your baby is around a few months old and sleeping longer at night. One of our top picks is the Maxi-Cosi Lora which was nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the categories of Best Cot Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket. MFM home tester Emily noted how stylish and modern the design was. She also appreciated the fact that it could be used as a bassinet, or a clip to your existing bed to ensure safe side-by-side sleeping. She also liked the plush mattress, which passed our firmness test, and the fact that it has an automatic rocking feature that can be adjusted to a slight slope for reflux sufferers. But she wasn't thrilled with the fact that it had a non-mesh panel at the foot end and thought it was a bit heavy to move from room to room regularly. When folded into its travel bag she found it to be somewhat heavy to carry up the stairs. Size A bedside cot is essentially a bassinet-style cot that fixes to your side of the bed. It allows you to reach your baby for mid-night feeding, nappies and comforting. It's also great for mothers recovering from the C-section. The NHS and Lullaby Trust advise that you keep your baby in the same room with you but separate from you for the first six months, because this will reduce the chance 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 be able to easily access your baby throughout the night. It is essential that your baby sleeps on a firm mattress since this is safer than a soft one. Babies don't have motor control to turn over and a soft mattress could increase the risk of drowning. This mattress is made of skin-friendly and breathable materials. It's comfortable for your baby, but firm enough to be safe. Mum Jasmin was delighted that the crib didn't occupy too much space in her bedroom and thought it was the perfect size for a newborn. She also said that the mattress was also good quality, unlike those that feel cheap and thin. She also loves the fact that it has a storage area beneath for blankets and clothes which she believes many bassinets don't have. Mehack Mehack, an MFM mum who tested the product at home, is thrilled the ability to remove the side wall to allow easier access to your baby. She also likes the fact that legs slide under the bed so it doesn't look heavy or take up too much floor space. She's also amazed by the ease of being able to move around the house as you need to in the middle of the night, which is convenient for feedings and check-ins. A winner of an Gold award in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards and the CoZee Air is a popular choice among parents. It features a unique design with four pulleys which can be used to raise or lower your crib. There's also an ample basket for toys, blankets, and other items. It's also light and easy to assemble, making it ideal to travel with your baby. Safety When choosing a baby's bedside cot, you must keep the safety of your baby in mind. The official safety sleep guidelines of both the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that babies should not sleep in their parents' beds due to the risk of suffocation, overheating and a higher chance of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bassinets for bedside use allow parents to keep their infants close, which allows for nighttime feedings as well as comforting and monitoring without having to leave their bed. This close proximity can also help breastfeeding mothers as it allows them to attend to the needs of their baby while still sleeping. This can help maintain the supply of milk and also encourage breastfeeding. Some cots for bedside use adjustable height features that make it easier for the mother and child to reach the bassinet for feedings or other activities during the night. Many bassinets have mattresses that are firm and designed to minimize the chance of suffocation and is in line with industry standards. This is essential because baby's bones are fragile and not fully developed, and need to be supported to prevent damage. The mattress should be covered with a fitted sheet to decrease the risk that dust mites, or other allergens, will cause a child to be suffocated. It should also be kept free of allergens and clean. Some bedside cribs can be tilted. This is beneficial for babies suffering from reflux or digestive issues. However, this should be done with care and with care. It's also important to avoid adding pillows, duvets or crib bumpers to the bassinet as they could pose an obstructing risk to your baby and should only be used when the cot is placed on a flat surface. It is also recommended to consider the bassinet with a secure attachment system. This can be connected to your bed without the need for tools. This is particularly beneficial for parents who find it difficult to get their child in and out of the crib or are worried about their child accidentally rolling over while sleeping. If bedside cot mattress does have secured attachments it's an excellent idea to periodically make sure it's secure and that there are no gaps or loose components that could cause danger. Comfort If you're a parent-to-be, the comfort of your infant is undoubtedly one of your top concerns. Thankfully, there's an innovative sleep solution that allows you to keep your baby close to you throughout the night, without any of the risks that come with bed-sharing. The crib for newborns is a cot that resembles a bassinet that can be attached to the side of the bed. It lets you safely lift your baby out towards you for feedings and comfort. It also makes the perfect choice for mothers recovering from a csection, because it eliminates the need to bend down too far or even get out of bed. Modern bedside cots for newborns should be fitted with a firm, flat mattress to promote safe sleeping habits and lower the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The bedding should be kept as simple as possible with just the sheet for the cot and blanket that is tightly tucked into the bottom. Avoid toys, bumpers and pillows that may fall onto your baby posing the risk of suffocation. If your baby is used to being swaddled you can make use of a swaddle, or a baby sleep bag for the first few weeks, although this should be removed when possible after they've gained the strength to take off their wraps. Some bedside cribs feature an option to remove or drop down the side that provides the baby to be easily accessible for comforting and feeding in the middle of the night. This is a wonderful option for parents who wish to keep a strong bond with their child while still following NHS safe sleep advice. If you're considering sleeping in the same bed with your child it's important to recognize that this practice has been linked to a higher risk of SIDS particularly when a parent accidentally is able to roll onto their child during sleep. A fabric that is breathable is an essential safety feature, as it's designed to keep your baby cool and comfortable throughout the night. This is particularly crucial if you intend to sleep with your baby since the chance of being overheated increases when you sleep. The SnuzPod4 comes with an exclusive breathable side panel that aids in improving airflow, keeping your baby warm.
