Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A bedside travel crib crib, sometimes referred to as a cosleeper, lets your baby to sleep right next to you during the night. However, it's important to follow official safe sleeping guidance 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. Plus, its slim frame makes it easy to move from room room.

Safety

Many new moms want the closeness of their child while they sleep, and bedside cribs can be a safe alternative for families who want to co-sleep. However, NHS Safe Sleep advice suggests that parents make sure that they have a separate sleeping area for their child and avoid sharing a bed to reduce the risks of suffocation, overheating and rollovers.

When choosing a crib for your bed it is crucial to make sure that the crib meets European safety standards and conforms to Lullaby Trust codes for safe sleep, to ensure your baby is sleeping in a secure and safe environment. bedside crib or cot cribs that have adjustable height settings can be combined with the parent's bed frame to minimize the chance of babies becoming trapped in gaps. They also come with a firm flat mattress that is breathable and designed to promote healthy sleeping habits.

Most bedside cribs feature the option of a panel that can be adjusted to let you safely monitor your baby during the night. This means you can comfortably soothe them, feed them and monitor them without needing to get out of bed. This is especially beneficial for mothers who are recovering from c-section births, or those with limited mobility. Certain models, such as the SnuzPod4, also have a reflux incline function for babies with reflux or digestive issues.

A lowered panel will also reduce the risk of your baby falling over the edge of the bed. A lot of these panels come with mesh sides that prevent pillows and duvets from falling into the crib. This is crucial for reducing the risk of SIDS, as babies that fall off their backs are more susceptible to being suffocated.

Keep dummies and soft toys away as they can be risky for suffocation. A mattress that is breathable for the crib and regular checks for gaps or loose bedding are also vital to keep your baby safe. When your baby can sit up or stand, generally at around 6 months, they will need to move into a cot or another suitable sleeping arrangement. If you are worried about this transition, it is worth speaking to your GP or health professional.

Comfort

The most ideal cribs for use at bedtime provide a safe, comfortable place to sleep your baby. They are designed to be placed close to your bed, so you can look after your baby without having to leave your bed. This will give you the chance to connect with your baby during the beginning months. This sense of security can help establish positive routines at night and improve the overall quality of your baby's sleep.

It is recommended to keep your child in a crib next to the bed until they reach the age of 6 months or they are able to stand independently. At the age of 6 months, you can switch to a traditional cot. The bedside crib will usually be suitable for your child until the age of 6 months, but it's crucial to review the specific product guidelines.

When choosing a crib for your bed ensure that it is in line with EN 1130 safety standards and is compatible with your bed (most can be attached to a standard bed frame but it is important to verify the exact dimensions). It is also important to ensure that your chosen crib has a sturdy, flat mattress which is breathable. This is vital for baby's health.

Our expert mum testers have been talking about the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib It has a height-adjustable base and can be used as a separate crib or affixed to your bed. This crib is lightweight and simple to assemble. It also provides great value for the money. Another of our favourites is the Silvercross Voyager, which our testers are awed by for its versatility, air-tight mattress and the reflux incline function.

Space

A bedside crib is an accessory that is attached to the bed's side. This lets you keep your child close all night long without the risk of co-sleeping. This is not recommended by the NHS or the Lullaby Trust. Recent years have seen an increase in their popularity among mums who want to bond with their baby while also being safe.

They typically feature the lowering panel, which allows you to feel and see your baby, and others that allow you to put the panel down at night to allow for the convenience of fuss-free feeding and monitoring. Some have the ability to tilt your baby's stomach which many of our test moms loved for helping digestion and reducing discomfort for those infants suffering from reflux or wind.

Many bedside cribs have adjustable height settings as well, enabling you to position them on the same level as your mattress, ensuring there's no gap between the two that could allow baby to climb or slip out. This is especially useful for those recovering after C-sections, as it can be difficult to climb into and out of bed.

The lower sides offer privacy and are great for parents who are concerned about sharing their room with a baby. It's important to remember that even if you choose to sleep with your baby in a crib or cot by your bed, it's still best to follow the official guidelines for safe sleep and not share your bed.

Before purchasing the crib, make sure whether the crib you want to buy will fit on your bed frame. Some cribs can be clipped onto bedsteads, whereas others are more suitable for divan beds. Also, don't forget that you'll require a suitable mattress for your crib, which is typically sold separately to the crib and must comply with the latest BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements.

Some cribs on the bed can be converted into toddler beds. This is a great option for parents who do not want to purchase an additional crib. The SnuzPod4 frame is sleek that can be tucked away in 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

One of the great things about a crib for bed is that it's easy to lift your baby in and out of bed during nighttime cuddles, feedings and getting to sleep. Many cribs have a side panel that can be lowered down, so you can contact and talk to your baby without having to wake them up to disturb their sleep. There are cribs that keep the panel in place constantly - this is great for parents who might be recovering from a C-section and want to keep their baby close.

Some cribs have tilt options that can help with reflux and colic. It's important to remember that tilting the crib should always be done with attention and only by a person who knows the medical history of their child and requirements.

Another feature to think about is how easy it is to clean, and whether it can be washed by machine or you need to wash it by hand it manually. Some cribs are equipped with waterproof covers that protect against leaky diapers, infant sickness, and dribbles. Some cribs also come with a storage bag, making them ideal for travel cot bedside if you have to bring your baby along with you.

Finally, it's worth considering how heavy the crib is and if it's easy to move from room to room. Jasmine, our 2021 Mother & Baby Awards mum tester, described the Red Kite Cozysleep with the crib as "just right size and light enough to be able to move around the house." It can be folded flat and comes with a travel bag for trips to the grandparents."

We suggest that you look through our reviews and ratings to make sure you choose the right model for you and your baby. Remember that a crib may look beautiful and sophisticated but your child will soon outgrow it. You'll have to get your baby to a cot before they move out of the crib.
