Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn bedside cot is a compact sleeper that allows babies to sleep in the same room as their parents without the risks of true co-sleeping (which the AAP recommends against due to SIDS and suffocation). It also makes mid-night nursing sessions and child care easier.

This sleeper features a firm mattress to support the backs of babies and minimize the risk of SIDS. It can be swiveled over your adult bed so that you can lift your baby to cuddle them at sunrise or during late night nursing.

Budget

A bedside cot used crib, also called a bassinet or co-sleeper is a bassinet-style crib for babies that attaches to your bed. This allows you to reach your baby comfortably and safely for a nighttime feed, comforting, or cuddles. They are a great option for mothers or new parents recovering from a c-section because they provide easy access to baby and do not require you to get out of bed.

There are a variety of designs available, ranging from basic ones with just an upside-down side to more sophisticated ones that have multiple adjustment options, including incline or height. Most can be converted into a separate crib when your baby gets older and has a longer sleep time at night.

One of our top picks is the Maxi-Cosi Lura, that was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for Best Cot Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket. 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 clipped to your existing bed for safe side-byside sleeping. She also adored its soft mattress that was able to pass our tests of firmness and it also has an adjustable manual inclining feature for reflux sufferers.

However, she didn't like the design of the non-mesh panel at its lower end, and felt it was a bit bulky to move from room room often. She also found it a bit heavy to carry up and down the stairs once it was folded up into its travel bag.

Size

A bedside cot resembles a bassinet that is connected to the side of your bed. You can easily reach your baby's mouth to feed, change nappies or comforting in the middle of the night. It's also great for mothers recovering from a C-section.

The NHS and Lullaby Trust recommend that you keep your baby separated from you in the first six month, to reduce the risk of SIDS. A bedside crib to cot crib is a secure way to achieve this as it has low sides and lets you be able to easily access your baby at night.

It is crucial that your infant sleeps on a firm mattress since this is safer than a soft one. A mattress that is soft can increase the risk of suffocation for infants as they lack the motor control necessary to turn. The mattress is made of skin-friendly and air-tight materials. It's comfortable for your baby but firm enough to be safe.

Mum home tester Jasmin was pleased with the fact that the crib does not take up much space in her bedroom, and she found it to be the perfect size for a baby. She also noted that the mattress was of good quality, unlike others which are thin and fragile. She also loves the fact that it has storage space underneath for bedding and clothes - something many other bassinets don't have.

MFM mom home tester Mehack is a fan of the side wall with a removable design that allows you to drop it down for easy access to your infant. She also loves the fact that the legs can be put under the bed to make it appear less bulky and occupy less area on the floor. She's also impressed with how easy it is to move around the house whenever you want to in the middle of the night, which is convenient for meals and check-ins.

A recipient of the Gold award at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards and the CoZee Air is a popular choice for parents. It is a clever design with four pulleys which can be used to raise or lower your crib. It also comes with a large basket for toys, blankets, and other items. It's also simple to put together and lightweight that is great for travelling with your baby.

Safety

It is crucial to think about the safety aspect when selecting the right crib for your baby's bed. The official safe sleep guidelines from both the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that babies should not sleep in parent's beds due to the risk of suffocation, heat exhaustion and a greater chance of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bassinets for bedside use allow parents to keep their infant close, facilitating feeding at night and monitoring without the need to get up from their beds.

This close proximity also assists breastfeeding mothers as they can attend to their baby's needs without having to get up completely, which can help to keep milk supply steady and enhance the breastfeeding experience. Some cots for 4-in-1 bedside crib have adjustable height features that will help ensure that the bassinet is an appropriate height for mother and baby to allow ease of access during feedings or care.

A lot of bassinets have mattresses that are firm, which is designed to minimize the risk of suffocation and is in line with industry standards. This is crucial because a newborn's bones are brittle and not fully developed and must be supported to prevent injury. The mattress should be covered with a fitted sheet to decrease the chance of suffocation from dust mites and other allergens and kept hygienically clean and free from irritants.

Some cribs on the bed can be tilted. This is useful for babies with reflux or digestive problems. But, it should be done slowly and with care. Avoid placing pillows, duvets, or padded crib bumpers inside the bassinet. These could create the risk of suffocation your baby.

It's also worth thinking about an infant bassinet that has a secure attachment system that can be easily fixed to your bed without the necessity of tools. This feature can be particularly helpful for parents who may struggle to lift their child in and out of the cot or who are concerned about falling asleep. If your bassinet does have an attachment system that is secure, it's a good idea to regularly check that it's securely attached and that there aren't any gaps or loose components which could cause danger.

Comfort

If you are a soon-to-be parent, your baby's comfort is one of your main concerns. Thankfully, there's an innovative sleep solution that lets you keep your baby close during the night - without any of the risks that come with sharing a bed. The crib for newborns is a bassinet-style cot that can be attached to the side of the bed. It allows you to safely lift your baby out to you for night feedings and calming. It is also an excellent choice for mothers recovering from a c-section, because it eliminates the need to bend down too far or even to get out of the bed.

A modern newborn bedside cot should have a firm flat mattress to ensure a safe sleep and decrease the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Bedding should be easy with a cot sheet and a blanket tightly tucked on the bottom. Avoid bumpers, toys and pillows that may be thrown over your baby, creating the 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 possible once they've developed the strength to pull themselves out of the wrap.

Some bedside cribs feature an adjustable or drop-down side that allows for easy access to your baby to feed and comfort them during the middle of the night. This is a good feature for parents who want to keep a strong bond with their child while still following NHS safe sleep guidelines. If you are planning to sleep with your child, it is important to know that this practice may increase the risk of SIDS. This is especially the case if a parent falls on their child when they are asleep.

A fabric that is breathable will keep your baby cool and cool throughout the night. This is especially important if you plan to sleep with your newborn, as the risk of overheating is higher during sleep. The SnuzPod4 features a unique mesh side panel that is breathable that helps improve the flow of air and keep your baby warm in their bed.
