Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus

Bedside sleepers allow you to keep your baby in the same room as you do without the danger of sharing a bed, which is associated with an increased risk of death from suffocation. They are a great option for infants.

Look for models with an adjustable height position that gives a perfect fit on most bed frames. Choose fabrics that are easy-to-clean and breathable.

Safety

A bedside cot is basically an old-fashioned bassinet cot that can be fixed to the side of your bed to allow secure co-sleeping. It is a great way to lift baby up towards you in the evening for feeding, soothing or comforting and it's also a great choice for an c-section. It's different from a Moses basket or cot as it has high sides to ensure your baby can't be pushed out. Some models come with a tilt feature that can aid babies suffering from colic and reflux. They are also slightly larger than Moses baskets, which makes them easier to move from room room.

The NHS and the safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust advise that newborns should be in their own cot or bassinet in the same room with their parents however, not in your bed. Sharing a bed increases the risk of suffocation or overheating. Bedside cribs allow your baby bedside co sleeper to rest close to you however, in a secure and private space.

Check that the crib meets the latest safety standards. It must be BS EN1130:2019. Also, make sure that there aren't any gaps or places that could allow your child to get trapped. Choose a mattress that has a firm, flat surface. A sagging mattress or one that is too soft can increase the risk of SIDS for your child.

Make sure your bedding is well-fitted and does not have loose blankets or pillowcases. Duvets and pillows can choke your baby, while pillows can stick to their face. Use a fitted sheet however, make sure it is fitted correctly.

The SnuzPod4 was highly rated by our MFM mum testers as a crib for use in bed. It has been nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the category of the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib. It attaches securely to the bed and has an adjustable height that allows for a perfect fit. It has a rocking bedside crib feature and can be adjusted 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 space.

Design

It is crucial to think about the design of your bedside crib because this is where you baby will spend the majority of their time. Many cribs are available in a range of colors that can be matched to your decor. Some come with features like mesh windows to keep your baby's view or drop-down sides that facilitate access. Some cribs also have incline features to aid in reflux.

Many cribs can also be lowered and raised to the same height as your bed, making it easy to get in and out of bed at night. Some cribs can serve as travel cots. This is a great feature when you travel or visiting relatives.

Home tester and MFM mum Leya discovered that the SnuzPod 4's sleek Scandi styling complements her bedroom decor and said that its compact fold was perfect for space-saving. She also liked that one side of the crib is lowered so that she can pick up her sleeping newborn without having to leave her bed. This is particularly beneficial when you've had an Caesarean or are recovering from one. You can remain close to your baby for a longer time.

Jasmine is another mum who enjoyed using the SnuzPod 4. She commented that it was easy for her to move the crib from one room to the next and back again - something she didn't see with other cribs. However, she did note that it required some effort to raise and lower the crib since the handle was stiff.

Another bedside rocking crib (http://www.Kaseisyoji.com/) crib that's simple to fold and move is the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards to be the Best Cot Crib, Moses Basket. The neutral colours and slim frame will fit in with most bedrooms. However some of our testers thought that the bars were too close to each other. This could cause them to catch on baby toys or clothes. The bars' distance should not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches) in order to prevent your baby's head from getting stuck. This is a good crib for babies with reflux too, as its ComfortAir breathable technology helps regulate temperature.

Comfort

You will feel more secure when you can quickly reach your baby to feed them in the middle of the night. With a crib at your bedside, you can do this without having to get out of your bed. These cribs make it simple to help babies sleep. If you'd like to be able to sleep with your child, but do not want the hassle of getting up each time they need to be fed, a moses-basket can be an excellent alternative.

Most bedside cribs can be attached to the side of your bed and allow you to view and access your baby easily. Most have mesh windows so you can monitor your baby without disturbing him. They might also include a reflux setting to aid in reflux or colic.

The crib is loaded with a variety of features, but we're impressed by the ComfortAir mattress that is breathable and regulates the temperature of your baby's body and maximizes airflow. It's smaller than other cribs which can be beneficial in areas that are limited in space. Our mum testers agree that this crib is a great choice for sleepless, long nights.

The cot is securely attached to the side of the bed with adjustable straps. This reduces the possibility of gaps in which your child may get trapped. It comes with a flat, firm mattress that meets safety regulations and promotes good sleep habits.

You should be aware that your baby is likely to get out of their crib when they are capable of sitting upright, which is usually about six months old. This is why it's important to put them in a cot or another sleeping arrangement once they outgrow the crib.

Another feature to think about is how light the crib is, and if it's suitable for travel. Some of our mothers love that this crib can easily be disassembled for transport however, others find it difficult to assemble. It can be a challenge to clean, so you'll need to wipe it down regularly with an appropriate cleaning product and cloth.

Stores

It's important that you choose cribs that meet the current safety standards. Verify that the crib's bars are spaced sufficiently apart to ensure that your child's head isn't getting trapped. Also, make sure that the drop-down side is safe and doesn't fall open accidentally. Do not place stickers or transfer on the surface of the cot because they may pose a choking risk.

Emily's preferred bedside cot for her baby is the Next2me Magic. It was selected for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the categories of Best Crib or Cot and the Best Moses Basket. It's a good size and offers plenty of storage space for everything your baby needs. It's also lightweight and compact enough to fit into its travel cot bedside crib bag should you have to transport it from room to room. If you're looking for something less complicated she suggests Shnuggle Air in addition to Crib.
