Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A bedside crib (also known as co-sleeper) allows your baby to sleep close to you during the night. It is 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. Additionally, its slim frame makes it easy to move from room room.

Safety

Many new mums desire the intimacy of their baby whilst they sleep, and bedside cribs are a good option for families who are embracing co-sleeping. However, NHS Safe Sleep advice recommends that parents should make sure that they have a separate sleeping area for their infant and avoid sharing a bed to reduce the risks of overheating, suffocation and rollovers.

When selecting a bedside crib, it is important to check that the product is compliant with European safety standards and conforms 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 where babies may be trapped. They also come with a sturdy, flat mattress that is ventilated and designed to help promote healthy sleeping habits.

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

A lower panel can also reduce the chance of your baby rolling over the edge of the bed. Many of these panels have mesh sides to prevent pillows and duvets from falling into the crib. This is crucial to reduce the chance of SIDS, as babies that roll off their back are more at risk of dying from suffocation.

It is advised to keep any soft or dummy toys from the crib because they can be a hazard to suffocate. A breathable crib mattress and regular checks for gaps or loose bedding are crucial to keep your baby secure. Once your baby is able to sit up or stand (typically at the age of 6 months), they will need an cot, or a different sleeping arrangement that is suitable for. If you're worried about this transition, it is important to speak with your GP or health visitor.

Comfort

The best bedside cot cribs for bedside use provide a secure and comfortable environment for your baby to sleep.

This feeling of security will help you establish positive nighttime routines and enhance the overall quality of your baby's sleep.

Your baby should be kept in a crib at night until they are six months old or are able to get up and at that point, you should move them to an older crib. The bedside crib is likely to be capable of accommodating your child until this age, but it is essential to read the product guidelines.

When you are choosing a bedside crib, make sure that it complies with EN 1130 safety standards and is compatible with your bed (most will attach to the standard bed frame, but you should always check the exact dimensions). Also, ensure that your chosen crib has a firm and flat mattress that is breathable - this is vital for baby's health.

The Chicco Next2me side sleeper is a top pick among our mom testers. It has a height-adjustable base that can be used as a stand-alone crib or connected to the bed. This crib is lightweight and easy to set up. It provides great value for price. Another of our favourites is the Silvercross Voyager, which our testers appreciate for its versatility, breathable mattress and reflux incline function.

Space

A bedside crib to cot crib is a sleep space that can be secured to the side of your bed, allowing you to keep your baby close throughout the night without having to worry about the risk of co-sleeping (which is not recommended by the Lullaby Trust and NHS). Recent times have seen an increase in popularity among mothers who want to bond with their baby while also being safe.

Some have a lowering panel that you can use for secure viewing and touching of your baby. Some allow you to keep the panel down during the night, allowing you to feed and monitor your child with no fuss. Some have the ability to tilt your baby's stomach that many of our test moms appreciated for aiding digestion and reducing discomfort for those children suffering from reflux or wind.

The lower sides also offer some privacy, making them perfect for new parents who are concerned about sharing a room with their newborn. However, it's important to remember that if you decide to sleep with your child in a crib by the bedside or the cot for bedside, it's still a good practice to adhere to the guidelines for safe sleeping and not share your bed.

Make sure you purchase an appropriate mattress for your crib. These are usually sold separately from the crib and should meet the latest BS EN1130:2019 safety standards.

Some bedside cribs also convert into toddler beds, which can provide the longevity of parents who don't want to buy a separate crib for their older child. The SnuzPod4 frame is sleek that fits into the corner of any bedroom and provides ample space for your child to sleep comfortably. It's also simple to put together and comes with a handy travel bag.

Convenience

A bedside cot wooden crib makes it easy to get your child from bed to feed, cuddle and then soothe them back to sleep.

Some cribs have a tilt option, which can help with colic and reflux. It is important to remember that tilting the crib should only be done by parents who are aware of their baby's medical needs and their history.

Another feature to consider is how easy it is to clean and whether it's machine washable or will you have to wash it by hand it manually. Some cribs are equipped with waterproof covers to guard against leaky diapers, baby sickness, and dribbles. Some cribs come with a storage bag that makes them perfect for traveling when you need to bring your baby along.

It's also important to take into consideration how heavy the crib will be, and if it's easy to move it from one room to the next. Our 2021 Mother & Baby awards mum tester Jasmine has described the Red Kite Cozysleep on the side of the crib as "just the right size and light enough for it to be easy to move around your house. It can be folded flat and comes with a bag for travel for trips to visit the grandparents."
