Bedside Cot Bed

A bedside crib, also known as a bassinet or a side sleeper, is attached to a parent's bed and allows safe cosleeping. It allows you to easily reach your baby during feeding and comforting at night, without disrupting your sleep.

It is essential to ensure that the crib is anchored securely and that it's regularly checked for any gaps that could pose as an suffocation risk. Certain cribs can be turned into cots for the growing baby using conversion kits.

Safety

A bedside cot bed is similar to a bassinet for babies however it is attached to your mattress rather than sitting on the floor. Parents who want their newborn near them for feeding, comforting, and nighttime diaper changes love these crib beds. They're also a key component of safe cosleeping (also known as rooming-in) and reduce the risk of SIDS.

If you decide to go with a sliding bed or 4-in-1 bedside sleeper, it's important to have a mattress that fits in the bed snugly. It should not sag or bulge, or be sagging. It must also be in compliance with safety standards, such as those of the Lullaby Trust. Verify that the mattress is free of tears and cracks and does not have loose threads.

A crib placed near the bed allows mothers to react quickly to their newborn's needs, whether that is bottle-feeding or breastfeeding. This allows them to maintain their milk supply. They can also feed their infants without having to fully wake up or leave their bed and promote healthy sleep habits in both infants and parents.

Most bedside cot beds have mesh that's securely attached to the sides of the cot to reduce the risk of a baby being trapped or entangled in the gaps. It is important to check the mesh for any tears or loose threads that could get caught or catch clothing of a baby, and to make sure there aren't any other dangers like protruding handles and bars that could encourage your baby to climb out of the cot. Beware of any plastic that is hot to the touch, and beware of any sharp edges.

Convenience

A bedside cot allows you to keep your baby close so you can be able to respond to their needs throughout the night without having to get from your bed. This closeness can make it easier to feed them, change them and comfort them when they awake, particularly in the early stages of parenthood, promoting better sleep for you both. It can be beneficial in creating a breastfeeding connection.

This kind of infant sleeping solution is also known as a sidecar bed or cheap bedside cot bassinet, and it's a type of safe co-sleeping that lowers the risks associated with sudden death syndrome (SIDS). It lets babies sleep with their parents, which can help mothers establish a breastfeeding relationship and also get more rest in the first few months following birth.

Many models come with a slide-down or removable side that lets you take the baby out of the crib without having to leave your bed, making it easier to take care of their needs at night. Some even come with an option for manual rocking which is particularly useful for babies that suffer from reflux. These cribs are often smaller than a moses basket or standard cot, so they require less space.

Some beds have storage space beneath, which is ideal for stashing blankets and nappies. It's also a useful place to store toys and other baby items. You can find a few that are convertible, meaning they can change from a side-sleeper into a full-sized crib or toddler bed as your child gets older.

Jasmine, a MFM mother and home tester, describes the MoMi Smart Bed as "a great option for your little one", saying that it's not too big or bulky. This means it will not take up a lot of space in your bedroom. She also appreciated that it has two different sleeping heights, so you can adjust it based on your baby's age.

Styles

Bedside cots, which are bassinets in style, attach to your bed. They allow you to lower one side of your crib so that it's within your reach at night to feed or comforting. These cots are also ideal for mums recovering from a csection since they don't need you to climb up to reach your child. Find cot beds that are compatible with the bed frame of your choice and securely attach to the mattress of the parent. Some models have an adjustable 4th wall that can be lowered when not in use to keep your child safe.

Budget

If you're looking to buy a bedside crib, you should be aware of your budget. These are generally more expensive than a cot or moses basket however, you can find them to fit most budgets with some good online shopping. You'll require a crib mattress that's safe for infants as well as an airy and soft set of bedding. You can purchase these online and can also add on accessories like blankets, a baby teether or a cuddly toy, for the complete set.

If you're looking to find an alternative to a bedside cot bed, you might want to think about a sliding crib or a four-in-one bedside crib with changing table sleeper. These are similar to a bedside cot, but they can be slid into place next to your bed without gaps. They can also be transformed into a regular mattress once your child grows out of them. They are also ideal if you don't have enough space in your home, and come with features like a drop-down side or tilt to provide easy access to your baby. The only downside to these is that they're only able to last up to six months. You'll have to move your child to a moses-shell or cot after this period.
