newborn bedside cot is also called a bassinet or side sleeper. It attaches to the mattress of the parent and allows the baby to sleep close to the parent. They’re a safe form of co-sleeping that is ideal for mothers who are recovering from c-sections.
MFM tester Georgina said that the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib was very simple to assemble. It was among the quickest in the testing. It can be adjusted in height and be swiveled into an inclined position to assist reflux babies.
You’re safe
Bedside cots, or co-sleepers as they are also known special infant sleep solutions that let babies sleep close to their parents without the threat of SIDS. They look like Moses baskets, but are attached to the sides of a parent’s bed. One side is open, so parents can easily access their sleeping infant. They are perfect for families who want to co-sleep but are worried about the risks of sharing a bed.
Many people are concerned about the safety and effectiveness of the bassinet or bedside sleeper. However, CHOICE found that these products, when used correctly are safe and can cause few accidents and injuries. They are also an ideal option for new parents who are struggling with the exhaustion that is often associated with night feeds and early morning diaper changes. You can monitor the baby and help them when needed.
If you’re looking for a secure bedside cot, pick one with a sturdy, breathable mattress. A mattress that is breathable will help regulate your baby’s body temperature and help prevent overheating. A fitted sheet that is sized to fit your mattress is an excellent idea and so is a nappy-changing kit with a waterproof cover. All these items can be found on the internet or in stores that specialize in baby products. It’s important to remember that you shouldn’t use secondhand or hand-me-down products or items, as these may be recalled or have been damaged and do not meet the standard safety requirements.
A quality bedside crib is easy to set up and can be removed to store. Some models have tilt positions that can be adjusted, which can make it easier for babies to sleep in a higher position, or parents suffering from reflux. Some models come with a travel bag so you can easily pack them and take them on your journey.
It’s easy to clean
Bedside cots are simple to clean, particularly with the right cleaning products. Remove any bedding such as sheets, blankets, or cuddly toy and wash them in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Vacuum the cot including the mattress. Be particular about the corners and crevices. Mattress protectors can help to reduce the growth of dust mites, bacteria, and other germs.
Then, clean the cot using a soft cloth dampened with baby-safe cleaner or a natural stain removal spray. Always dampen a new cloth to get rid of soapy residues and keep the surface clean. Use a soft scrub brush to get rid of any stains that have accumulated on the mattress. Baking soda can be used to eliminate lingering smells. Always test a small portion of the mattress first to make sure the cleaning product is safe for your child.
It is easier to clean and sanitize the cot once it has been removed from its structure. You can also make use of a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe detergent to wash the mattress and its protector.
If the cot is made from wood, it is possible to sanitise it with a mixture of warm water and white vinegar. This natural disinfectant will kill bacteria without leaving harmful residues or causing damage to the wood. Test the mixture on a small portion of the wood to make sure it won’t damage it. Apply the solution using a soft cloth, and allow it to dry before putting back together.
They are easy to move
A bedside crib is also called a bedside bassinet or co-sleeper. It lets your baby sleep right next to your bed. These cribs are compact, portable and easy to move around. They’re also an excellent choice for those with limited space at home or you plan to travel with your baby.
Unlike regular baby beds cribs for bedside use, they are designed to attach to the sides of your bed, so you can easily lift your newborn in and out for night feedings and soothing. These cribs are constructed with a removable or drop-down side for easy lifting. They also come with adjustable heights and tilts. Some cribs can be transformed into full cot beds as your child grows. This provides you with greater longevity and value.
Our mum testers love the lightweight and portable nature of these sleeping options, making them ideal for travel. “It’s very compact and small and can easily fit into its own travel bag and be transported around the house quite easily,” says one mum. “My husband can carry it up and down the stairs without difficulty.”
The Shnuggle Air on the side of the crib is a different option that is light, shortlisted in 2021’s Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket category at the Mother&Baby awards. Gulhan Arapoglu agrees that it’s easy to move around and feels sturdy. But, she notes that it’s slightly larger than some cribs that are placed on the bed, and isn’t recommended for babies who may flip or roll.
They’re comfortable
The best cribs for bedside use allow babies to sleep next to their parents, but in a separate sleeping area. They’re usually more compact than a Moses Basket or standard crib and can be folded away and stored away when not being used. They’re also much more accessible for nighttime feedings, changing nappies and soothing. This makes them perfect for new mums who are recovering from a c-section as they won’t have to bend down as much to look after their baby in the middle night.
They’re also a great choice for parents who want to get a good night’s sleep and are concerned about the risk of co-sleeping. This is due to the fact that the crib is situated closer to the parent’s bed and has a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than sleeping in a standard cot or bassinet. This kind of secure, co-sleeping, also known as “rooming in” is important for a baby’s development.
You can also buy a variety of bedsides that include the option of a portable mattress that you can carry with you when travelling and others that convert into a standalone baby cot or toddler bed. Some even have incline positions which can be great for babies who have reflux. You can also find a crib that attaches to the bed of the parent, or comes with locking wheels. This will prevent the crib from being moved accidentally when the baby is sleeping.
If you’re thinking of buying the possibility of a crib next to your bed, make sure it’s a ventilated and sturdy mattress for your baby. This will ensure the security of your child. We recommend a mattress made of foam with a soft, durable cover. This will ensure that your baby is comfortable and warm while they’re sleeping.
Some bedsides are also simple to collapse and slide, which is great for those morning feeds when you’re exhausted. The Joie Roomie Glide, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Cot, Crib, or Moses Basket, is an example of a bedside cot that is easy to lower. It’s also small enough to fit into its bag for travel which is a plus for parents traveling.
