Bedside Cot Bed

A bedside crib and travel cot crib (also called a side sleeper or bassinet) attaches to the parent's bed for secure co-sleeping. You can easily reach your child for night feedings and comforting without disturbing your sleep.

It is crucial that the crib is secured and regularly inspected for any gaps that could cause a suffocation risk. Certain cribs can be turned into cots for the growing baby by using conversion kits.

Safety

A bedside crib bed is similar to a baby bassinet, but it attaches to the mattress you already have instead of sitting on the floor. They're popular with parents who want their baby to be easily accessible for feeding, comforting and even for night-time diaper changes. They're also a crucial part of safe cosleeping (also known as rooming-in) and reduce the risk of SIDS.

You'll need to select a mattress for your cot that fits snugly into the bed of your cot, whether you choose to use an adjustable bed or a sliding one. Ensure that it doesn't sag or bulge and that it meets safety standards such as the Lullaby trust's guidelines. If you're purchasing a second-hand crib mattress, make sure it's clean and free of tears or cracks, and isn't brimming with threads that a baby might entangle themselves in.

The close proximity of a crib to the bed allows mothers to quickly respond to their infants' needs during the night, such as feeding their babies with bottles and breastfeeding, as well as helping them maintain their milk supply. Also, they can feed their babies without getting up or leave the their bed. This promotes healthy sleep habits for both parents and babies.

Most bedside cot beds are equipped with mesh that is securely fixed to the sides of the cot, reducing the risk of a baby being trapped or entangled in the gaps. It is essential to check the mesh for any tears or loose threads that could strangle or catch baby's clothing and ensure there aren't any other hazards like protruding handles or bars that could cause your baby to climb out of the cot bed. Check for any plastic that is hot to the touch, and stay away from any sharp edges.

Convenience

It is possible to keep your baby close to you so that you can attend to their needs at any time during the night without having to leave your bed. This closeness makes it simpler to feed and change, as well as comfort your baby when they awake. It can also be helpful in establishing a breastfeeding relationship.

This kind of infant sleep solution is also referred to as a sidecar sleeper or bedside bassinet, and it's a form of safe co-sleeping that lowers the risk of suffering from sudden death syndrome (SIDS). It lets babies rest close to their parents, which helps mothers establish a breastfeeding relationship and get more sleep during the first few months following the birth.

The majority of cribs come with a removable or drop-down side that allows you to take the baby out of the crib without leaving your bed. This allows you to be more attentive to their needs during the night. Some models also have a manual rocking bedside crib function, which can be particularly useful for babies that have reflux. These cribs are typically smaller than a moses basket or standard cot, so they are smaller and take up less space.

Some beds have an area for storage underneath. This is a great place to store nappy and blankets. It's also a useful place to store toys and other baby-related items. You can find a few that are convertible, which means they can transition from a side-sleeper, to a full-sized crib or toddler bed as your child grows older.

Home tester and MFM mom Jasmine describes the MoMi SMART BED as "a excellent option for your baby," saying it's not too big or bulky, which means it won't take up too much space in your bedroom. She also liked the fact that it comes with two different sleeping heights, so you can adjust it depending on your baby's age.

Styles

bedside crib or cot cots are bassinet-style cots that fix to your bed and allow you to lower one side of the crib into your reach for night-time feeding or for soothing. They're also a blessing for mothers who have had a c-section, as you don't have to get up to reach your baby, and can help speed up recovery. If you're considering this type of cot, look for models that can be securely attached to the bed of the parent and are compatible with your specific bed frame. Some models also have a detachable 4th wall that can be lowered down when not in use to ensure your baby is safe and away from danger.

Budget

When you are looking to purchase a bedside cosleeper baby crib, you must think about your budget. They're more expensive than a moses's basket or cot, but they can be purchased at a price that suits most budgets. You'll also require a baby-safe crib mattress, and a comfortable and breathable bedding set. You can purchase these online and can also add on accessories like blankets, a baby teether or a cuddly toys for the complete set.

Think about a sliding or 4-in-1 crib as an alternative to the bedside cot. They're similar to a cot however, you can slide them into the space beside your bed with no gaps between and can be converted into a regular bed when your child is old enough to use them. These are also great for those who have a small space. They have features like a tilt or drop-down side to facilitate access to your baby. The only drawback to these is that they're only able to last up to six months. You'll need to put your child to the moses-shell or cot following this time.
