Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn bedside cot is a tiny sleeper that allows babies to sleep in the same space as their parents without the risk of sleeping together (which the AAP cautions against due SIDS and suffocation). It also makes nursing sessions and baby care easier.

This sleeper comes with an extremely firm mattress that can support babies' backs, reducing the risk of SIDS. It can be swiveled over your adult bed to allow you to carry your baby to the top to snuggle them at sunrise or for midnight nursing.

Budget

A bedside cot, sometimes referred to as a co sleeper bedside cot-sleeper is the bassinet-style baby cot that can be attached to your existing bed. This lets you comfortably and safely reach your baby for mid-night feeding or cuddles. These are ideal for new parents and mums recovering after a c section because they allow easy access to the baby without having to get up from bed.

There are a variety of styles available, from basic models with only a drop-down side, to more advanced ones that can be adjusted in multiple ways including height and incline options. Many can be converted into an independent crib once your baby is older and has a longer sleep time at night.

Maxi-Cosi Lora is one our favorites. It was selected in the Best Cot category for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards. MFM home tester Emily commented how stylish and modern the design was. She also appreciated the fact that it can be used as a bassinet or a clip to your existing bed, for a safe side-by-side sleep. She also appreciated its luxurious mattress that has passed our tests for firmness and it also has an adjustable manual inclining feature for those suffering from reflux.

However, she didn't like the fact that it had a non-mesh panel at the lower end, and thought it was a bit heavy to move from room to room often. She also found it to be a little heavy to carry up and down the stairs when it was folded up into its travel bag.

Size

A bedside cot is similar to a bassinet that is placed on the bed's side. It allows you to reach your baby during the night for feeding, nappies and comforting. It's also great for mothers recovering from C-sections.

Mum home test Jasmin was pleased with the fact that the crib does not take up much space in her bedroom, and she found the size perfect for a baby.

She also loves the fact that it has a storage area underneath for bedding and clothes which other bassinets don't have.

Mehack is an MFM mom who tried the product at home, loves that you can take off the side wall to allow easier access to your baby. She also appreciates that the legs can be tucked under the bed to make it look less bulky and occupy less space on the floor. She's also amazed by how easy it is to move around the house whenever you want to, for convenience during middle-of-the-night meals and check-ins.

The CoZee Air crib is a favourite among parents. It won the Gold Award at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards. It is designed with four pulleys that are built-in to raise or lower the crib. It has a large storage basket to store your baby's toys, blankets and other essentials. It's also light and easy to assemble, making it ideal for travel with your baby.

Safety

It is crucial to think about safety when choosing a newborn small bedside cot crib. The official safe sleep guidelines from both the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that babies do not be sleeping in the bed of their parents due to the dangers of suffocation, heat exhaustion and a higher risk of suffering from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bassinets for bedside use let parents keep their newborn close by, facilitating nighttime feedings as well as monitoring and comforting without the need to get out of bed.

This close proximity also supports breastfeeding mothers as they can attend to the needs of their infant without having to get up completely and help maintain milk supply and support the breastfeeding experience. Some bedside cots come with adjustable height options that can help the mother and child to reach the bassinet for feedings or other activities throughout the night.

A lot of bassinets have mattresses that are firm, which is designed to reduce suffocation risk and meets the standards of the industry.

The mattress should be covered in a fitted sheet to minimize the risk of suffocation caused by dust mites or other allergens, and kept clean and free of allergens.

Some cots with a bedside can be tilted. This can be beneficial for babies suffering from reflux or digestive issues, however it should be done with extreme caution and at a gentle angle. It is also important to stay clear of adding pillows, duvets or crib bumpers to the bassinet as they can create an obstructing risk to your baby and should only be used when the cot is on a flat surface.

It's also worth thinking about a bassinet with an attached system that is secure and can be easily fixed to your bed without the necessity of tools. This can be especially beneficial for parents who struggle to lift their baby into and out of the crib or concerned about the possibility of falling asleep. If your bassinet does have an attachment system that is secure, it's recommended to regularly make sure it's secure and that there are no gaps or loose parts which could cause danger.

Comfort

It's also an excellent choice for mothers recovering from a c-section because it eliminates the need to bend down too far or even take a step out of the bed.

Modern bedside cots for newborns (Recommended Web page) should have a flat, firm mattress to encourage safe sleeping practices and reduce the risk Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The bedding should be kept as simple as possible with just the sheets for the cot and a blanket tucked in tightly at the bottom. Avoid bumpers, toys or pillows since they can fall on your baby and pose a risk of suffocation. If your baby is used to being swaddled, you can use a swaddle or a baby sleep bag for the initial few weeks, but it should be removed as soon as you can once they've developed the strength to take off their wraps.

Some cribs with a bedside feature a removable or drop-down side that gives you an easy access to your baby bedside sleeper to feed and comfort them during the middle of the night. This feature is ideal for parents who want to maintain a close bond with their child while still following NHS guidelines on sleep.
