Do Not Believe In These "Trends" About Best Bedside Cot For Newborn

The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns

A bedside crib is a bassinet type crib that attaches to the mattress's side. This makes it easy to reach your baby at night for a fuss-free feeding. These are suitable for infants from birth up to six months.

The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that infants sleep in separate cots from their parents' beds. This reduces the chance of SIDS. The best cribs for bedside use allow for this.

1. Arm's Reach Clear-Vue Co-Sleeper

When co-sleeping was a brand-new idea, a father and son team came together to form Arm's Reach and came up with a concept that would allow parents to be able to sleep comfortably with their infants. It was the first-ever bedside cot that allowed infants to sleep close without getting suffocated or falling onto the mattress or onto the parent's side of the bed. The Clear-Vue remains in wide use and has a 25-year history and no reported deaths or injuries.

It includes a fitted sheet and the bassinet. The bassinet can be used for newborns until five months old, or until they begin climbing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper is able to be used as a stand-alone bassinet or it can be affixed to the bed of the parent using the included attachment strap and plate. It is simple to switch between the two modes by pulling strings. However, it does not meet federal standards as an attached bed. Therefore, your child should not be left unattended.

McKenna was impressed by the Co-Sleeper's ease of use, noting that it's easy to lift the baby in and out of the bassinet during middle-of-the-night feedings or other care needs away from your bed. He also praised safety of the Co-Sleeper, saying that it is in compliance with all crib and baby bassinet standards. It's been on the market for a long time and "about 1.5 million units have been sold" with no reported infant injuries or deaths.

In our tests, the Clear-Vue was the easiest to reach of the cots with bedside tables we test. Its swiveling sleep area and adjustable height made it easier to reach into and soothe your baby. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls, which require you to crouch or reach down to retrieve your baby.

The Clear-Vue was the only one in our top five that didn't connect to the parent's bed. However, it was a close runner-up and far superior to a few of the other models we tested that were designed to be attached to parental beds. It is sturdy and solid, with plenty of storage space.

2. HALO Bassinest

The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the sole bedside cot that can rotate 360 degrees which brings baby closer, making it easier for parents to to get in and out. It also has a lowering wall that lets moms tend to their babies without having to get out of bed.

The Bassinest can be cleaned easily with water and is lightweight. The mattress pad can also be washed. It comes with a side pouch to store diapers and nipple lotion which you'll need in those sleepless first days of motherhood.

There are many models of the Bassinest which include a less expensive standard Essentia version that doesn't come with any extra features and the more luxurious LUXE PLUS series that comes with white noise and vibrations to help babies fall and sleep. Both models come with a fitted sheet, a mattress pad and a large storage bag that is bigger than the other Bassinest options.

The LUXE PLUS series also comes with an adjustable wall lock that lowers as well as a sturdy and stable base that adjusts to fit most beds ranging from 22" to 34", a floor lamp that helps you see your newborn during the day and a storage caddy that can hold any additional bedding or items. It's not ideal for travel due the weight and size, however the swivel function is ideal for keeping baby near while you're at home.

This co-sleeper by English brand Joie was designed to make parent-baby bonds a dream. It is more than just a crib.

The adjustable height of the Roomie Glide is among its greatest features. You can adjust the legs so that they are perfectly aligned with the mattress of your baby.

The only drawback to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for infants, so you'll need to upgrade to a full-size cot once your baby turns six months old (usually around when they move into their own bedroom). Roanna found it to be a fantastic cotbed though and would definitely recommend it.
