Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A bedside crib (also called co-sleeper) allows your baby to sleep close to you during the night. It is important to follow the official safe sleeping guidelines from the NHS and Lullaby Trust.

Our mum testers love the SnuzPod's breastfeeding-friendly drop side, 30-second open and fold mechanism and reflux incline function. It's also simple to move around due to its slim frame.

Safety

Many new mothers are looking for the comfort of their child while they sleep, and bedside cot crib cribs are a good option for families who are embracing co-sleeping. NHS Safe Sleep advises parents to use a separate surface for their baby and to avoid sharing a mattress, to minimize the risk of suffocation as well as overheating.

It is crucial that when choosing a crib for your baby, you check to ensure that it complies with European safety standards. Also, make sure the crib complies with Lullaby trust codes of safe sleep to make sure that he is sleeping in a space where he is secure and safe. Bedside cribs that have adjustable height settings can be fitted to the bed frame of the parent and reduce the risk of gaps that infants could become trapped. They also come with a firm, flat mattress that is breathable and designed to promote healthy sleeping habits.

Most cribs for bed have a panel that can be adjusted, so that you can comfortably see your baby throughout the night. This means that you can comfortably soothe them, feed them and monitor them without having to get out of bed, which is especially beneficial for new mums recovering from c-section births, or those who are unable to move. Some models, such as the SnuzPod4, have a reflux incline feature for babies with reflux or digestive issues.

A panel that is lower will reduce the chance of your child falling over the edge of the bed. A lot of these panels come with mesh sides that prevent duvets and pillows from falling into the crib. This is important to reduce the risk of SIDS. Babies who roll off their backs are more likely to suffocate.

Keep soft toys and dummies away from your child as they could pose risky for suffocation. A mattress that is breathable for the crib and regular checks for any gaps or loose bedding are also crucial to keep your baby safe. Once your baby can stand or sit (typically at around 6 months), they will need a cot or other sleeping arrangement that is suitable. If you're worried about this transition, it is important to speak with your GP or health care professional.

Comfort

The most suitable cribs for bedside use provide a safe and comfortable space to sleep your baby. They are designed to be placed next to your bed so that you can look after your child without leaving your bed. This will give you the chance to bond with your baby in those early months. This feeling of security will help you establish a positive bedtime routine and enhance your baby's overall sleep quality.

It is recommended to keep your baby in a bedside baby bed crib until they reach the age of six months old or are able to get up and then you should move them to an older crib. Bedside cribs can be used to accommodate your child to this age, but you must check the product guidelines.

When choosing a crib for your bed, make sure that it complies with EN 1130 safety standards and is compatible with your bed (most will clip onto a standard bed frame but you must always verify the exact dimensions). It is essential that the mattress of your crib is flat, firm and airy. This is essential for your baby's health.

The Chicco Next2me side sleeper is a favorite among our mom testers. It comes with an adjustable height base and can be used as a stand-alone crib, or connected to the bed. It is light and simple to assemble. It also offers great value for money. One of our top picks is the Silvercross Voyager, which our testers are awed by because of its versatility, breathable mattress and the reflux incline function.

Space

A bedside cots crib is a device that attaches to the bed's side. This lets you keep your child close all night long without the risk of co-sleeping, which is not recommended by the NHS or the Lullaby Trust. They've grown in popularity recently with mums looking for ways to bond with their newborn while also being secure.

They usually come with a lowering panel, which allows you to feel and see your baby, and some that allow you to keep the panel closed at night for the ease of feeding and monitoring your baby in a relaxed manner. Some have a reflux incline function too which many of our test mums liked for helping digestion and reducing discomfort for those children who are suffering from reflux or wind.

A lot of cribs for bedside have adjustable height settings too, enabling you to position them at the same height as your mattress, ensuring there's no gap between the two that could let your baby climb or slip out. This is a big benefit for those recovering from C-sections, as it can be hard to get in and out of bed as your body heals.

The lowered sides also offer some privacy, making them ideal for parents who are concerned about sharing a space with their newborn. But, it's important to note that if you opt to sleep with your child in a crib by the bedside or cot, it's still best practice to adhere to the official safe sleeping guidance and avoid sharing your bed.

Before you purchase it, you'll need to ensure whether your crib for bedside is compatible with your bed frame. Some cribs can be clipped onto bedsteads, while others are better suited for divan beds. Don't forget to get a suitable mattress for your crib, that is typically sold in addition to the crib itself and should be in line with the most recent BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements.

Some bedside cribs can also be converted into toddler beds. This is a great solution for parents who don't require an additional cot. SnuzPod4 is a sleek frame that fits into the corner of any room and offers plenty of space for your child to rest comfortably. It's also easy to assemble and comes with a handy travel bag.

Convenience

A crib that is placed near the bed allows you to easily lift your child from bed to feed, cuddle and soothe them back to sleep. Many cribs have a side panel that drops down, allowing you to be able to touch and talk with your little one without having to wake them up to disturb their sleep. There are some that keep the panel down constantly which is ideal for parents who are about to be recovering from a C-section and want to keep their newborn close.

Some cribs offer tilt options, which can aid in reducing reflux and colic. It is important to note that the tilting of the crib should only be done by parents who are aware of their baby's medical needs and the history.

Take note of how easy it is to clean the crib, and if you can machine wash it or need to wash it manually. Some cribs have waterproof covers to guard against leaky diapers, baby sickness and dribbles. Some cribs are equipped with bags for storage, making them perfect for traveling if you have to take your baby along.

It's also worth considering the weight of the crib and is it easy to move from room room. Our 2021 Mother & Baby awards mum tester Jasmine described the Red Kite Cozysleep next to the crib as "just the right size and lightweight enough to be able to move around your home. It also can be folded flat and comes with a travel bag for trips to the grandparents."

If you're considering buying a bedside crib we suggest that you go through our comprehensive reviews and ratings of the best cribs available, to ensure that you buy the best model for your baby and your lifestyle. Be aware that even though the crib may look beautiful and stylish, it's crucial to remember that your newborn will quickly outgrow its small size. You'll need to get your baby to a cot before they grow out of the crib.
