Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper) allows your baby to rest close to you during the night. It is essential to adhere to 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. Additionally, its slim frame means it's easy to move from room room.

Safety

Bedside cribs are a great option for families who co-sleep. However, NHS Safe Sleep advice suggests that parents use a separate sleeping surface for their child and avoid sharing a bed to minimize the risk of suffocation, overheating and rollovers.

When you are choosing a crib for your bed it is essential to make sure that the crib meets European safety standards and adheres to Lullaby Trust codes for secure sleep to ensure your child is sleeping in a safe and secure environment. Bedside cribs with adjustable height settings can be matched to the parent's bed frame, reducing the risk of gaps in which babies could become trapped. The cribs are equipped with a flat, firm mattress designed to promote healthy sleeping habits.

Most cribs for bed have a panel which can be lowered to allow you to safely monitor your baby during the night. This means you can easily provide them with food, comfort them and monitor them without having to get out of bed. This is particularly beneficial for new mums recovering from c-section births, or those who are unable to move. Certain models, like the SnuzPod4, have the option of inclining reflux for babies suffering from digestive issues or reflux.

A lower panel can also lower the risk of your baby falling over the edge of the bed. Many of these panels have mesh sides that stop duvets and pillows from falling into the crib. This is crucial in reducing the risk of SIDS. Babies who roll on their backs are more likely to drown.

It is recommended to keep any soft or dummy toys from the crib because they can be a hazard to suffocate. To ensure that your baby bedside crib is safe it is also important to ensure that the mattress of your crib is airy and regularly check for any gaps or loose sheets. Once your baby can sit up or stand (typically at about 6 months) they will require a cot or other sleeping arrangement that is suitable for. If you have any questions about this transition, speak to your GP or a health professional.

Comfort

The best bedside cribs offer a safe and comfortable space for your baby to rest. Built to sit beside your bed, they allow you to take care of your baby without having to get out of bed and will also allow you to bond with your newborn in those precious early months. This feeling of security can help you establish a positive bedtime routine and increase your baby's overall sleep quality.

The bedside crib will usually be able to accommodate your child until they reach the age of 6 months, but it's essential to read the guidelines for the product.

When choosing a bedside cot be sure that it meets EN 1130 safety standards. It must be able to work with your existing bed (most clip onto traditional bed frames, however you must double-check the exact dimensions). Also, make sure that the bedside crib has a firm flat mattress that is breathable - this is vital to the health of your baby.

The Chicco Next2me side sleeper is a popular choice among our mom testers. It features an adjustable height base and can be used as a stand-alone crib, or connected to a bed. It is light and easy to assemble. It also offers excellent value for the money. One of our top picks is the Silvercross Voyager, which our testers appreciate for its versatility, breathable mattress and the reflux incline function.

Space

They've grown in popularity recently with moms seeking ways to bond with their infant while remaining safe.

They typically feature a lowering panel, which you can use to safely feel and see your baby, as well as some that let you put the panel down at night for the convenience of feeding and monitoring your baby in a relaxed manner. Certain models also have an incline feature for reflux which was appreciated by many of our test subjects to ease discomfort and aid in digestion for babies with reflux or wind.

A lot of cribs for bedside travel crib have adjustable height settings too, enabling you to position them at the same level as your mattress, ensuring there's no gap that could let your baby climb up or slide out. This is an important benefit for those recovering from C-sections since it can be a challenge to get into and out of bed while your body heals.

The lower sides provide privacy and are ideal for new parents worried about sharing their space with a baby.

You'll also need to make sure your bedside crib is compatible with your existing bed frame before buying - some clip onto bedsteads while others are better suited to divan beds. Don't forget to purchase a mattress that is suitable for your crib. These are usually sold separately from the crib and should meet the latest BS EN1130:2019 safety standards.

Some bedside crib that turns into cot cribs also convert into toddler beds, which can increase the longevity of parents who don't want to invest in an additional cot for their older child. The SnuzPod4 is an example, with a slim, sleek frame that easily fits into the corner of your bedroom and gives plenty of room for your child to sleep comfortably. It's also simple to put together and comes with a handy bag for travel.

Convenience

One of the best things about a bedside crib is that it's simple to lift your baby in and out of bed for nighttime cuddles, feedings and getting back to sleep. Many cribs have an upper panel that slides down, allowing you to touch and talk to your child without having to wake them up completely or disturb their sleep. Some cribs keep the side panel in place all the time. This is perfect for parents who have had C-sections and want to keep their baby close.

Some cribs have tilt options, which can aid in reducing reflux and colic. It's important to remember that tilting the crib should always be done with attention and only by a parent who is aware of the medical history of their child and their needs.

Take note of how easy it is to clean your crib and if you can machine wash it or need to wash it by hand. Some cribs come with waterproof covers that guard against leaky diapers, infant sickness, and drips. And some have a handy storage bag, making them perfect for travel if you have to bring your baby along with you.

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

We recommend you read our reviews and ratings to make sure you pick the best crib for you and your baby. Remember that while a crib might look lovely and elegant, it's important to remember that your baby will soon outgrow its tiny size. Therefore, you'll need to put your baby in a cot bed before they start to outgrow it.
