Bedside Sleeper Cot

A bedside sleeper cot (also known as a bassinet) fixes to the side of your bed to ensure that your baby is close enough to be able to enjoy feeding at night, but is safe in their own sleeping area. Our mothers appreciate that they are simple to reach and can also pivot or drop the sides to make them more accessible.

Safety

The bedside sleeper lets parents supervise, comfort and feed their newborns at night without worrying about the dangers of sharing a bed. This can lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The cribs are designed to conform to NHS guidelines on co sleeper bedside cot-sleeping. They are endorsed by childcare experts, such as the director of the Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory Dr McKenna.

They also provide instant breastfeeding support and can help babies feel more secure by keeping them close, encouraging healthy attachment that can aid in the development of milestones. Parents should seek out bassinets which are easy to clean, safe to use, and have been certified by a trusted organization like JPMA.

In 2023, ASTM updated their version of the standard F2906 that is voluntary for bedside crib sleepers to respond to the latest products that convert from a baby bassinet to a bedside cot newborn sleeper by the side rails being lower adjacent to an adult bed. This allows certain areas of the lower side to be elevated over the mattress and presents an increased risk of being entangled. The CPSC direct final rule incorporates this revision with reference to the current mandatory standards in section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008(CPSIA) for infant or toddler products which have been used for more than 180days and is expected to reduce the chance of injury.

Be aware that a bassinet or bedside sleeper, should not be used in combination with blankets or pillows. This could be a suffocation hazard as babies are unable to lift their heads high enough to free them from soft objects. A reclining position can cause the head to tip to tilt forward, which can block their airway. Always put your child on their backs when using a bassinet, a crib or play yard. Use an appropriate fitted sheet that meets the federal requirements.

Convenience

It is essential to keep your baby close throughout the night. This helps create bonds between parents and newborns. Bassets for bedside sleepers are firmly attached to the sides of your mattress, allowing you to easily reach your baby to change diapers, feeds and comforting in the middle of the night. We searched for models that had mesh sides that were transparent and able to be seen through, allowing you to monitor your child without stepping up from the bed.

You should make sure that the bassinet is in compliance with the requirements of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) specifications and is safe for babies. Make sure you choose a large bedside cot base, a strong attachment mechanism and sturdy construction that prevents the bassinet from slipping over. A breathable mattress should also be considered.

Look for a model with an option for manual rocking that is gentle on your baby and can help settle them to sleep. Some models also come with tilting options which can be beneficial for babies suffering from reflux or colic but should only be used under the supervision of your doctor or health care professional.

Some bassinets come with a mattress however, others require you to buy one separately. Make sure you buy the right mattress to fit in your bedside bassinet, as second-hand mattresses could be too soft and could pose a risk of SIDS. You'll also need to invest in a breathable fitted sheet and muslin blanket for your baby. Be sure to check the fabric lining. The foam mattress can be machine washed to make cleaning easier. A storage shelf or basket can be a useful feature to store essentials such as nappies or muslins, clothing, and nappies. There are many models with wheels that enable it to be moved around the home.

Breastfeeding Support

If you decide to breastfeed the baby, a cot with a bedside position can help you to make the most of your feedings at night. By attaching to your bed, it allows you to reach easily when your baby is awake to feed. The side of the cot bedside can be lowered to create a bed that is shallow for sleeping side-by-side. Some models also tilt to help with reflux.

The curving sides make it easy to see and lift your baby up to feed. They won't roll off the side. Some cots for bedside sleepers include an automatic rocking function that can help calm your baby and encourage them to go to sleep quicker after feeding.

If you want to keep your baby clean, a soft fabric and removable bedding that can be machine-washed are a great option. Some models have gentle rocking and vibration functions which can help soothe your baby to sleep. Breastfeeding mothers will also be happy with the storage space.

Bed-sharing is a popular choice for breastfeeding mothers because it is easy and allows them to have a close bond with their baby while they sleep. Research has shown that infants who breastfeed and have a shared space to sleep have better outcomes than infants who are fed through bottles. It is essential to be aware of the risks and pitfalls of sharing an infant's bed and to choose an appropriate mattress for your baby.

Some beds have soft surfaces or padding on their edges, which can cause your baby to become entrapped. You must also be cautious to ensure that the mattress slide backwards. This could cause a gap into which your baby can crawl or roll.

If you are concerned about the security of a sleeper in bed you should consider attending an LLL meeting or talking with a Sleep Leader to find out more about the sleeping habits of breastfeeding mothers and infants. They can help you create a safe and secure sleeping environment for your baby and help you recognize the risks of SIDS. They can also educate you about the "sweet sleep" of nursing mothers, which includes many of the same protection factors as breastfeeding.
