How to Choose the Best Bedside Cot uk

Both the NHS and the Lullaby Trust have issued official safe sleeping guidelines that suggest that infants sleep in their own Moses basket or cot. A bedside crib can be practical and space-saving for parents who share a room.

Mumsnetters love this co-sleeper as it's big enough with plenty of space for babies to grow and wriggle and far more substantial than a Moses basket. It's also simple to put together and comes with a bag for travel.

What is a bedside cot?

Bedside cots (also known as bassinets, side sleepers, or co-sleepers) are a safe and convenient way for your baby to be close to you in the early months. These cribs attach to your bed and let you lift your child in your arms to feed them at night or for comforting. They're also a great choice for mothers who are breastfeeding or recovering from a Caesarean section.

These cots are typically smaller than a standard cot but they provide plenty of room for your baby to sleep. You can choose from various styles and features depending on your preferences. Many cribs with a bedside co sleeper cot feature an adjustable or drop-down side to make it easier to reach the baby during feeding time at night. They are also available in different heights, based on the size of your bed.

Some bedside cribs come with a riser that allows you to add a slight rise to the sleep area that can help with reflux and a zip-off side for easy cleaning. Some cribs feature manual rocking bedside crib features that can be a soothing distractor for your infant. You'll also require a breathable mattress for your new crib, which should be a minimum of 30cm deep to ensure that your newborn has enough headroom.

A bedside co sleeper cot crib is a major investment, but you can be certain that your baby will be secure and comfortable sleep. Kate Hudson, Serena Williams, and Gigi hadid are all fans of SNOO's bedside crib. It is definitely worth considering as an alternative to a Moses basket.
