Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus

Bedside sleepers let you keep your baby in the same space with you, without the risks associated with sharing a bed. They're also a great option for newborns.

Look for models with an adjustable height which will fit perfectly on all bed frames. Also, look for breathable fabrics that are easy to clean.

Safety

A bedside cot could be described as a bassinet which is connected to the bed's side for safe cosleeping. It is a great way to raise your baby towards you at night to feed or comforting. it's also a great option if you have a C-section. It is different from a Moses Basket or Cot in that it has high walls so your baby isn't able to be pushed out. Some come with a tilt feature that can aid babies with reflux and colic. They're also a bit bigger than Moses baskets, which could make them easier to transport from room to room.

The NHS and the safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust advise that newborns should be in their own bassinet or cot in the same room as their parent, but not in your bed. Sharing a bed increases the risk of suffocation or overheating. Bedside cribs provide the best of both worlds by permitting your child to sleep close to you at night, but in their own private and secure sleeping space.

Make sure that the crib is in compliance with the most current safety standards. It must be BS EN1130:2019. Also, ensure there aren't any gaps or places where your child could become trapped. Find a mattress with a flat, firm surface. A mattress that is too sagging or that is too soft could increase the risk of SIDS for your baby.

Look for bedding that is well-fitted and does not have pillows or blankets that are sloppy. Pillows can cause suffocation and duvets could get stuck to baby's face. It's a good idea to opt for a fitted sheet however, make sure it fits properly.

Our MFM mum testers have found that the SnuzPod4 is a great choice for a bedside crib, selected for 2021's Mother&Baby Awards in the best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category. It is attached securely to the bed, and has an adjustable height for an ideal fit. It has a rocking feature and can be set to an inclined position to prevent reflux. It's a good choice for people with narrow or small beds since it does not take up much room.

The design of a bedside crib is important because it is where your baby will spend most of their time. There are many cribs available in a variety of colours that match your decor. Some cribs have features like mesh windows to keep the baby visible or drop-down sides to facilitate access. Some even have incline functions to aid in reflux.

The majority of cribs can be raised and lowered to the same height as your bed, making it easier to get into and out of bed at the end of the night. Some cribs can serve as travel cots. This is a great feature when you travel or visiting family.

This is particularly helpful when you've been through a Caesarean or are recovering from one. You can stay close to your baby for a longer period of time.

Jasmine is another mom who loved using the SnuzPod 4. She said it was simple for her to move the crib from one room to the next which she could not discover with other cribs for bed. She did mention that the handle was a bit stiff and it took a lot of effort to move the crib.

Another crib for bedside that is easy to fold and move is the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. Its slim frame and neutral colors will fit in with most bedrooms, although some of our home testers felt the bars were too close together, which means they could get caught on clothing or toys for babies. The bars' distance should not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches) in order to prevent your baby's head from getting trapped. This crib is also good for babies suffering from reflux because the ComfortAir air-flow system helps regulate body temperature.

The crib is loaded with a variety of options, but we're particularly amazed by the ComfortAir mattress that is breathable and regulates the temperature of your baby's body and maximizes airflow. It's a bit smaller than some other bedside cribs, which may be helpful when space is tight. However, our mom testers are in agreement that it's a great option for those long nights.

The cot is attached securely to the bed's side with adjustable straps. This minimizes the chance of gaps where your child could become trapped. It has a flat, firm mattress that complies with safety standards and promotes good sleeping habits.

One thing to keep in mind is that your baby may begin to climb out of the crib when they're able to sit at around six months. This is why it's essential to place them in a cot or other sleeping arrangement when they've outgrown the crib.

bedside cot crib to consider is how lightweight the crib is and if it's suitable for travelling. Many of our mothers appreciate that this crib is able to be disassembled to transport it however, others aren't able to put it together. It is also difficult to keep clean and therefore you'll have to clean it regularly with a cloth and cleaning product.


Stores

Do not place stickers or transfer on the floor of the cot because they could be an choking risk.

Emily's top pick for a bedside crib is the Next2me Magic, which was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. It is a good size and has plenty of storage for all your baby's essentials. It's also lightweight and compact enough to fit in its travel bag in case you need to move it from room to room.
