Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn bedside cot mattress cot is a compact sleeper that allows newborns to sleep in the same room as their parents, without the dangers of co-sleeping (which the AAP advises against due to SIDS and suffocation). It makes it easier to care for your baby and nurse them during the night.

This sleeper has a mattress that is firm and supports babies' backs, reducing the risk of SIDS. It can be rotated over your adult bed to lift your baby for sunrise cuddles or late night nursing.

A bedside crib and travel cot cot, also known as a co-sleeper, is an infant cot with a bassinet design that can be attached to your existing bed.

There are many different designs that are available, from the basic ones with just an upside-down side to more sophisticated models that have numerous adjustment options, like the ability to tilt or raise. Many convert to a standalone crib for naps during the day or when your baby is a few months old and sleeps longer at night.

Maxi-Cosi Lora is one of our favorites. It was shortlisted 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 could be used as a bassinet or clipped to your existing bed, for a safe side-by-side sleep. She also liked the plush mattress that was able to pass our test of firmness and the fact that it comes with a manual rocking function that can be set to a slight tilt for those suffering from reflux.

However, she wasn't a fan of the feature of a non-mesh panel on the bottom and felt it was a bit heavy to move from room to room frequently. When it was folded into its travel cot bedside crib bag she found it a bit heavy to carry up the stairs.

Mehack, a MFM mom who tried the product at home, loves that you can take off the wall on the side to make it easier to access your baby. She also likes that legs fold under the bed so that it doesn't appear bulky or take up a lot of floor space. She's also impressed with the ease of being able to move around the house as you need to in the middle of the night, which is convenient for feedings and check-ins.
