Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus

Bedside sleepers let you keep your baby close in the same room as you without the risk of bed-sharing, which is associated with a higher chance of being suffocated. They're a great choice for newborns.

Models with adjustable height positions can be placed perfectly on all bed frames. Choose fabrics that are easy-to-clean and breathable.

Safety

A bedside cot can be described as a bassinet which is attached to the side of a bed to ensure safe cosleeping. It can be used to lift your baby towards you for comfort, feeding or to soothe your baby at the end of the night. It's also an excellent option if you had a c section. It's different from a Moses basket or cot because it has high sides, so your baby won't fall out. Some come with a tilt feature which can help babies suffering from reflux and colic. They are also slightly bigger than Moses baskets, making them easier to move from room to room.

The NHS and the safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust advise that newborns should be placed in their own bassinet or cot in the same room with their parents but not in your bed. Sharing a bed increases the risk of suffocation or overheating. bedside baby bed cribs give you the best of both worlds, permitting your child to sleep close to you at night, but still in their own safe and separate sleeping space.

Make sure the crib is compliant with the latest safety standards. It must be BS EN1130:2019. Also, ensure that there are no gaps or parts where your baby could get trapped. Choose a mattress that has an even, firm surface. A mattress that is too sagging or that is too soft could increase the risk of SIDS for your baby.

Lastly, look for a bedding that is fitted and free from any loose blankets or pillows. Duvets and pillows could suffocate your baby, while pillows can get stuck to their faces. It's a good idea to use a fitted sheet instead but ensure it's fitted correctly.

The SnuzPod4 was rated highly by our MFM mom test participants as a crib that is suitable for bedside cosleeper use. It was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the category of the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib. It is secured to the bed, and can be adjusted to ensure the perfect fit. It has a rocking feature and can be adjusted to an inclined position for reflux. It is a great option for those with small or narrow beds as it doesn't take up the entire space.

Design

It is crucial to think about the design of your bedside crib because this is the area where your baby will spend the majority of their time. There are a variety of cribs available in a variety of colours that match your decor. Some come with features like mesh windows to keep your baby visible or drop-down sides to facilitate access. Some cribs are equipped with incline options to aid with reflux.

You can adjust the height of the majority of cribs to your bed's height making it easier for you to get into and out of the bed. You can also find a few that are designed to function as travel cots, which is great if you're travelling or visiting relatives.

Leya Leya, an MFM mother and home tester, discovered that the SnuzPod 4 was a great fit for her bedroom decor. She also liked its compact fold that saved space. She also liked the fact that one side of the crib can be adjusted to lower, letting her pick up her baby without having to get out of bed. This is particularly helpful when you've been through a Caesarean or are recovering from one. You can stay close to your baby for longer.

Jasmine is a mother who also loved using the SnuzPod 4. She said it was easy to move the crib from one room to the next - something she did not find with other bedside crib that turns into cot cribs. She did mention that the handle was a bit stiff and it took a lot of effort to raise the crib.

Another bedside crib that's simple to fold and move is the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for The Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. Its slim frame and neutral colour options can be incorporated into all bedrooms, though some of our testers at home felt the bars were too close together, which means they could get caught on clothing or baby toys. The distance between bars should be no more than 6.5cm (2.5 inches) to ensure that your baby's head can't become trapped. This is a great crib for babies who have reflux because its ComfortAir breathing technology helps regulate their temperature.

Comfort

Keeping your baby close all night will provide peace of mind, but you should be able to reach them quickly during the night for feeding. It is easy to do this without having to get out of bed with a crib at your bedside. They also make it easier to soothe babies back to sleep. If you'd like to lay down with your baby but don't want the hassle of getting out of bed for every feeding, a moses basket is an ideal choice.

Most bedside cribs are connected to the bedside so you can easily access and touch your baby. They typically come with a mesh window, to allow you to check on your baby without having to disturb them. There is also a reflux setting that helps with colic and reflux.

We're impressed with the number of features on this crib, especially the ComfortAir breathable mattress that works to regulate your baby's temperature and maximise airflow. It's a little smaller than other bedside cribs which can be useful where space is limited. However, our mum testers agree that it's a great option for those long sleeps.

The cot securely attaches to the side of your bed using adjustable straps. This minimizes the chance of gaps that your child may get caught. It also comes with a firm, flat mattress that meets safety standards and encourages the safest sleeping practices.

One thing to bear in mind is that your baby could start to get out of the crib when they're able to sit up, usually around six months. This is why it's essential to put them in a cot or another sleeping arrangement once they outgrow the crib.

Another thing to take into consideration is how light the crib is and if it's suitable for travelling. Many of our moms love the fact that this crib can be taken apart for easy transport, but others find it difficult to assemble and then reassemble. It can be difficult to clean, so you'll need to wipe it down often using an appropriate cleaning product and cloth.

Storage

A bedside cot for 6 months and older is a bassinet style bed that can be attached to the mattress's side for safe co-sleeping. They're ideal for feeding your baby at night and calming babies to sleep and allowing mothers who've had a c-section to keep their baby close.

It is essential to select cribs that meet current safety standards. Verify that the crib's bars are spaced sufficiently apart to ensure that your child's head isn't becoming trapped. Also, ensure that the drop-down sides are secured and doesn't open accidentally. Also, stay clear of any transfer or stickers on the cot surface as they could pose dangerous to choking.

Emily's top choice for a bedside crib is the Next2me Magic, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. It's a decent size and has plenty of storage for your baby's necessities. It's also light and compact enough to fit in a travel bag if you need to move it from room to room. If you're looking for something a little simpler, she recommends the Shnuggle Air on the side of the crib.
