Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn bedside cot is a small sleeper that allows newborns to share the same room as their parents, without the risk of sleeping together (which the AAP advises against due to suffocation and SIDS). It makes it easier to care for your baby and give them a bottle in the middle of the night.

This sleeper features a firm mattress to support babies' backs and reduce the chance of SIDS. It can slide over your adult bed to allow you to carry your baby out for midnight nursing or sunrise cuddles.

Budget

A bedside cot, also known as a co sleeper bedside cot-sleeper is an infant cot with a bassinet design that is attached or clipped to your bed. This allows you to reach your baby quickly and safely for a mid-night feed or cuddles. These are great for new parents and mums recovering from a csection as they allow the baby to be easily accessible without having to get up from the bed.

There are many different designs on the market that range from basic models with just a drop-down option to more advanced ones that can be adjusted in several ways with incline and height options. The majority of them can be converted to a standalone crib when your baby is older and has a longer sleep time in the night.

Maxi-Cosi Lora is one of our favorites. It was selected in the Best Cot category for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards. MFM home tester Emily expressed her delight at how stylish and contemporary the design is and she was impressed by the possibility of using it as a regular bassinet or attach it to a bed to ensure that you can sleep side-by-side. She also adored its soft mattress that was able to pass our tests of firmness, and that it has an option to manually tilt it for reflux sufferers.

She wasn't a fan of the fact that it had a non mesh panel on the bottom and considered it too bulky to move around from room to room. When folded into a travel bag she found it quite heavy to carry up the stairs.

Size

A bedside sleeper cot cot is basically the bassinet style cot that can be fixed to the side of the bed. It's easy to reach your baby's side to feed, change nappies, or to comfort them in the middle of the night. It's also great for mothers recovering from C-sections.

The NHS and Lullaby Trust advise that you keep your baby in the same space as you but separate from you for the first six months as this can help reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).

It is crucial that your infant sleeps on a firm mattress since it is safer than a mattress that is soft.

It is a comfortable fit for your baby but firm enough to ensure safety.

Mum Jasmin was pleased that the crib didn't occupy too much space in her bedroom and found it to be the perfect size for a newborn. She also stated that the mattress was of high-quality, unlike others which seem thin and flimsy. She also loves the fact that it has a storage space underneath for bedding and clothes which many bassinets do not have.

Safety

It is important to think about safety when choosing the crib for your newborn. The Lullaby Trust, as well as the NHS, recommend that babies not sleep in the parents' beds due to the possibility of suffocation or sudden infant death syndrome. Bedside bassinets let parents keep their newborn close by, facilitating feeding at night and monitoring without needing to get out of bed.

This close proximity can support breastfeeding mothers, as it lets them attend to the needs of their infant while they sleep. This can help maintain the supply of milk and encourage breastfeeding. Some cots with a bedside are equipped with adjustable height features, which can ensure that the bassinet is an ideal height for mother and baby, allowing easy access for middle-of-the-night feedings or for care.

A lot of bassinets have mattresses that are firm, which is designed to decrease suffocation risk and meets industry standards. It is essential to provide support for the bones of a newborn, since they are still fragile and aren't fully formed. The mattress should be covered with an appropriate sheet to reduce the risk that dust mites, as well as other allergens, will suffocate a child. It should be kept free of allergens and clean.

Some cots for bedside use have the capability of being tilted, which is beneficial for babies with reflux or digestive issues, but it should be done with extreme caution and at a moderate angle. Avoid adding pillows, duvets or padded crib bumpers inside the bassinet. These can pose the risk of suffocation to your baby.

It's also worth thinking about an adjustable bassinet with an attachment system that is secure and can be easily attached to your existing bed without the need for tools. This can be especially useful for parents who struggle to lift their baby in and out of the cot, or who are concerned about rolling over during sleep. If your bassinet has secured attachments it's an excellent idea to periodically ensure that it's securely secured and that there are no gaps or loose parts that could pose a hazard.

Comfort

If you're expecting a child, the comfort of your child is definitely one of your top concerns. Thankfully, there's an innovative sleep solution that lets you keep your baby close to you throughout the night without taking on any of the risks that come with sharing a bed.

A modern cot for infants should have a sturdy flat mattress to promote safe sleeping practices and lower the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Bedding should be simple comprising a cot sheets and a blanket tightly tucked at the bottom. Avoid bumpers, toys, and pillows that may fall on your baby, posing a suffocation risk. If your baby is used to being swaddled you can use a swaddle or baby sleep bag for the first few weeks, although it should be removed when possible after they've gained the strength and confidence to pull themselves out of the wrap.

Some bedside cribs have a removable or drop-down side for easy access to your baby for feedings in the middle of the night and comforting. This is a great feature for parents who wish to keep a close relationship with their child while adhering to NHS sleep guidelines. If you're considering sleeping in the same bed with your child, it's important to understand that this practice has been associated with an increased risk of SIDS particularly if a parent unintentionally falls on their infant during sleep.

A fabric that is breathable will keep your baby comfy and cool throughout the night.
