Bedside Sleeper Cot

A bedside sleeper cot (also called bassinet) can be attached to the side of your bed so that your baby is close enough to be able to enjoy night feeding but safe within their own space to sleep. Our mothers love that they are easy to reach and that they can also pivot or drop the sides to get closer.

Safety

The bedside sleeper allows parents to monitor, soothe and feed their babies at night without having to worry about the dangers of bed-sharing. This can result in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The cots are made to conform to NHS guidelines on co sleeper bedside cot-sleeping. They are recommended by childcare experts, such as the director of Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory Dr McKenna.

They also offer instant breastfeeding support and can help babies feel more secure by keeping them close, promoting healthy attachment that can help with developmental milestones. It is essential that parents search for bassinets that are easy to clean and safe to use. Also, make sure they've been tested and certified by a trusted agency such as JPMA.

In 2023, ASTM updated its version of the bedside crib that turns into cot sleeper's voluntary standard F2906 to respond to newer products that convert an infant bassinet to the bedside sleeper by dropping one side rail next to an adult bed, which allows certain areas of the lower portion to be elevated height above the mattress, presenting an increased risk of trapping. The CPSC direct final rule incorporates this 2023 revision with reference to the mandatory standards in place under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008(CPSIA) for sturdy baby or toddler products which are in use for longer than 180 days. It is expected to reduce the chance of injury.

Be aware that a bassinet or bedside cot mattress sleeper, should never be used in combination with blankets or pillows. This could be a risk of suffocation since babies are unable to raise their heads high enough to free them from soft objects. A reclining position can cause the head tip forward, blocking their airway. Always put your child on their backs in a crib, bassinet or play yard, or a bedside sleeper. Make sure to use only sheets that are fitted to meet the federal requirements.

Convenience

It is important to keep your baby close throughout the night. This helps create an emotional bond between newborns and parents. Bassinets that sleep in bed are securely attached to the sides of your bed and allow you to easily reach your little one for diaper changes in the middle of the night, feedings and comforting. We looked for models with mesh sides that were transparent and visible through, allowing you to keep an eye on your child without having to get up from bed.

It's important that the bassinet you pick is tested as safe for infants by an independent testing organisation and that it meets all requirements of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). You should look for an infant bassinet that has a large base and a sturdy attachment system. A comfortable mattress is crucial, too.

Find the model that comes with the option of manual rocking. This will be gentle on your baby's skin and help them fall asleep. Certain models also have a tilt option, which can be helpful for infants suffering from reflux or colic but should only be used on the guidance of your doctor or health professional.

Some bassinets include a mattress while others require you to purchase a mattress separately. Make sure you buy the right mattress to fit your bedside sleeper bassinet, since second-hand mattresses can be too soft and could pose the risk of SIDS. You will also need to purchase a comfortable fitted bed sheet and blanket for your baby. For easy cleaning, check that the fabric lining or mattress can be washed in the machine. A basket or shelf for storage is a convenient feature for storing necessities such as nappies, clothes and muslins. You can also find models that have wheels for mobility around the house.

Support for breastfeeding

If you choose to feed your baby at night the sleeper cot that is placed next to your bed will aid you in getting the most out of your feedings. By attaching to your bed, it allows you to reach over easily when your baby wakes up for a feed. The cot for bedside's sides can be lowered to create a bassinet that is shallow for a secure side-by-side sleep. Certain models tilt to support reflux.

The curving sides of the cot means that it's easy to spot your baby and they won't slide off of the side when you pick them up for feeding. Some cribs with a bedside crib with wheels sleeper feature an automatic rocking feature that will help your child relax and encourage them to fall asleep quicker after a meal.

When it comes to keeping your baby clean, a cozy bedding and fabric that can be machine-washed are helpful. Certain models are equipped with gentle rocking or vibration functions that can help calm your baby into sleep. Having plenty of storage space is a an advantage for breastfeeding moms.

Bed-sharing is a popular choice for breastfeeding mothers because it is practical and helps them to form an intimate bond with their baby during their sleep. Research has proven that babies who are breastfed who share a sleeping space with their mothers are more successful than babies who are bottle-fed. It is crucial to be aware of the risks and practices that come with sharing the bed with a baby and to choose an appropriate mattress for your baby.

Some sleepers in the bed have soft surfaces or padding on their edges, which may cause your baby to get trapped. Also, you must be aware not to let the bedside sleeper slide backwards, forming a gap that your baby could crawl or roll into.

If you're concerned about the safety a baby or mother sleeping close to you, go to an LLL meeting. Talk to a Sleep Leader about your child's sleeping habits. They can help you create an environment for sleep that is safe for your baby and explain the risks of SIDS. They will also inform you about the "sweet sleep" of nursing mothers, which has many of the same protection factors as breastfeeding.
