Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn bedside cot is a tiny sleeper that allows newborns to share the same room as their parents without the risk of sleeping together (which the AAP advises against due to suffocation and SIDS). It makes it easier to care for your baby and nurse them in the middle of the night.

This sleeper features a firm mattress that can support the backs of babies and decrease the risk of SIDS. It can be rotated over your adult bed to lift your baby for sunrise cuddles or late night nursing.

Budget

A bedside cot, also known as a co sleeper bedside cot-sleeper is an infant cot with a bassinet design that is attached or clipped to your bed. This lets you reach your baby comfortably and safely for a mid-night feed or cuddles. They are a great choice for mothers or new parents recovering from a c-section as they offer the baby with easy access and do not require you to get out of bed.

There are a variety of designs available, ranging from basic ones that have a drop down side to more sophisticated ones with numerous adjustment options, like the ability to tilt or raise. Most convert to a standalone crib for naps during the day or when your baby is a few months old and sleeping longer at night.

Maxi-Cosi Lora is one our favorites. It was nominated in the Best Cot category for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards. MFM home tester Emily commented on how stylish and modern the design is, while she appreciated the feature that you can use it as a regular bassinet or clip it onto your bed to ensure that you can sleep side-by-side. She also adored its soft mattress, which passed our firmness tests and it also has an adjustable manual inclining feature for those suffering from reflux.

She didn't like that it had a non-mesh panel on the bottom and she thought it was too heavy to move from room to room. When folded into a travel bag, she found it quite heavy to carry up the stairs.

Size

A bedside baby bed cot is a bassinet that is attached to the bed's side. You can easily reach your baby to feed, change nappies or just to soothe them during the night. It's ideal for mothers recovering from an o-section.

The NHS and Lullaby Trust recommend that you keep your baby separate from you during the first 6 months to reduce the risk of SIDS. A crib for your bed is a secure way to accomplish this since it has low sides and allows you to be able to easily access your baby at night.

It is crucial that your infant sleeps on a firm mattress as this is safer than a soft one. Babies don't have motor control needed to turn and a mattress that is soft can increase the chance of drowning. The breathable fabric and skin-friendly materials make the mattress comfortable for your baby but also firm enough for safety.

Mum Jasmin was happy that the crib didn't occupy too much space in her bedroom and found it to be the ideal size for a baby. She also said that the mattress was of good quality, unlike others which feel thin and flimsy. She also likes the fact that it has a storage area beneath for blankets and clothes which she believes many other bassinets lack.

Mehack, a MFM mom who tried the product at home, is thrilled that you can take off the side wall to allow easier access to your baby. She also likes the fact that the legs can be tucked under the bed to make it look less bulky and occupy less area on the floor. She is also impressed by how easy it was to move around her home when she needed to do check-ins and feedings in the middle of the night.

The CoZee Air crib is a favorite among parents. It won a Gold Award in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards. It features a smart design with four built-in pulleys to raise or lower the crib and comes with a large bedside crib storage bin for your baby's blankets, toys and other essentials. It's also easy to put together and lightweight, which is useful for traveling with your baby.

Safety

It is crucial to think about the safety aspect when selecting a newborn bedside crib. The official safety sleep guidelines of both the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that babies do not sleep in their parents' beds due to the dangers of overheating, suffocation and a higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bedside bassinets let parents keep their baby close, facilitating nighttime feedings and monitoring without the need to get up from their beds.

This close proximity can also help breastfeeding mothers as it lets them attend to the needs of their infant while they sleep. This can help maintain the supply of milk and also encourage breastfeeding. Some bedside cots have adjustable height features, which can help to ensure that the bassinet is an ideal height for mother and baby for easy access to mid-night feedings or for care.

Many bassinets are equipped with mattresses that are firm, which is designed to reduce the risk of suffocation and is in line with the standards of the industry. This is essential because newborn's bones are brittle and not fully developed, and need to be supported to prevent damage. The mattress should be encased in a fitted sheet to decrease the chance of suffocation due to dust mites or other allergens. It should also be kept clean and free of irritants.

Some bedside cribs can be tilted. This is helpful for babies with reflux or digestive issues. However, this should be done slowly and with caution. It is also important to stay clear of adding pillows, duvets or padded crib bumpers to the bassinet as these can pose a suffocation risk for your baby and should only be used when the cot is placed on a flat surface.

It's also worth looking into an infant bassinet that has a secure attachment system that can be easily attached to your bed without the need for tools. This is particularly beneficial for parents who have difficulty carry their child into and out of the crib or are worried about their baby accidentally rolling over during sleep. If your bassinet does have secured attachments, it's an excellent idea to periodically make sure it's secure and that there aren't gaps or loose components which could cause danger.

Comfort

If you're expecting a child, the safety of your infant is undoubtedly one of your main concerns. There's a new solution to sleep that allows you to keep your baby close to you at night without the risk of sharing the bed. The newborn bedside crib is a cot that resembles a bassinet that attaches to the side of the bed. It allows you to safely carry your baby towards you for feedings and soothing. It's also a great choice for mothers recovering from a C-section since it eliminates the need to stand up or sit up.

Modern bedside cots for newborns should be fitted with a firm, flat mattress to promote safe sleeping habits and reduce the risk Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Bedding should be simple with a cot sheet and a blanket tightly tucked on the bottom. Avoid bumpers, toys, and pillows that may fall on your baby, posing a suffocation risk. If your baby has been used to being swaddled during a few weeks, you can use either the swaddle or baby bedside cot sleep bag. But, it should be removed after they have the strength to remove them.

Some cribs with a bedside feature an option to remove or drop down the side that provides the baby to be easily accessible for comforting and feeding during the middle of the night. This feature is perfect for parents who wish to keep a close relationship with their child, while still following NHS guidelines for sleep. However, if you're planning to co-sleep in the same bed as your child it's important to know that this practice has been associated with an increased risk of SIDS particularly in the event that a parent rolls onto their infant during sleep.

A breathable fabric will keep your baby comfy and cool throughout the night. This is especially crucial if you plan to co-sleep your newborn because the risk of overheating during sleep increases. The SnuzPod4 features a unique mesh side panel that is breathable, which helps to improve the airflow and keeps your baby comfortable in their mattress.
