Bedside Cot Bed

A bedside crib or cot crib, also known as a bassinet, or side sleeper, is attached to a parent's bed and allows for secure cosleeping. It is easy to reach your child for night feedings and comforting, without disturbing your sleep.

It is important to make sure that the crib is attached securely and regularly checked for any gaps that could create an suffocation risk. Some cribs are also convertible, with conversion kits to convert them into standalone cots as your baby grows.

Safety

A bedside crib bed is similar to a baby bassinet, but it attaches to the mattress you already have rather than sitting on the floor. Parents who want to have their baby near them for feeding, comforting and even for changing diapers at night are in love with these crib beds. They're also a key component of safe cosleeping (also called rooming-in) and can reduce the risk of SIDS.

You'll need to choose a cot mattress that fits snugly into the cot bed, regardless of whether you choose to use an adjustable bed or a sliding one. Make sure it doesn't slide or bulge, and that it is in compliance with safety standards, including the Lullaby Trust's guidelines. If you're purchasing a second-hand crib mattress, make sure it's free of tears or cracks, and doesn't have loose threads that your child could entangle themselves in.

A crib next to the bed allows mothers to react quickly to their newborns needs, whether it is breastfeeding or bottle-feeding. This will help them keep their milk supply. They can also feed their babies without having to wake up or get up to get up. This promotes healthy sleeping habits for both parents and babies.

Most bedside cot crib cot beds are fitted with a mesh that's securely fixed to the sides of the cot to reduce the possibility of a child getting stuck or strangled in the gaps. Make sure to regularly inspect the mesh to look for tears or loose threads that could catch or entangle the baby's clothes. Also, ensure that there are no other hazards, such as the protruding handles or bars which could cause your infant to climb out of the bed. Also, look out for parts made of plastic that could be hot to the touch and avoid any sharp edges or splinters.

Convenience

It is possible to keep your baby close so that you can respond to his or her needs at any time throughout the night without leaving your bed. This closeness makes it easier to feed or change your baby when they wake up. It can also assist in establishing a breastfeeding bond.

This kind of infant sleep solution is also called a sidecar or bedside baby sleeper basset. It's a safe form of co-sleeping, which lowers the risk of sudden death syndrome (SIDS). It lets babies sleep with their parents, which helps mothers establish a breastfeeding relationship and get more sleep in the first few months after the birth.

Many models come with a drop-down or removable side that allows you to take the baby out of the crib without having to get out of your bed, making it easy to tend to their needs at night. Some models even have the option of manual rocking, which can be particularly beneficial for resettling babies who are suffering from reflux. A lot of these cribs are smaller than moses or a standard cot basket, which makes them less bulky and take up less room.

Some beds have a storage area beneath, which is ideal for stashing blankets and nappies. It's a great spot to store toys, baby accessories and other items. Some convertible beds means they can be transformed from a side-sleeper, to a full-sized bed or toddler bed as your child reaches a certain age.

Home tester and MFM mom Jasmine describes the MoMi Smart BED as "a excellent option for your little one," saying it's not too large or bulky and will not take up too much space in the bedroom. She also liked the fact that it can be adjusted to the height of the bed depending on the baby's age.

Styles

Bedside cots are bassinet-style cots that attach to your bed and allow you to lower one side of the crib into your reach for feeding at night or soothing. They are also great for mums recovering from a c section, as they don't require you to get up to reach your child. If you're considering this type of cot bed, search for models that securely fasten to the parent's bed and are compatible with your specific bed frame. Some models come with an adjustable 4th wall that can be removed when not in use to keep your child safe.

Budget

If you're looking to buy a bedside crib, it's important to consider the amount of money you can afford. They're more expensive than a moses' basket or cot, however they are available at a price that suits all budgets. You'll need an infant crib mattress that is safe for babies and a soft and breathable set of bedding. You can buy them online, with add-ons like blankets, a teether or cuddly toy as a complete set.

If you're looking for a different option to a bedside cot, you might want to consider a sliding crib or a 4-in-1 bedside sleeper. These are similar to a small bedside cot cot however they can slide into place next to your bed with no gaps between them. They can also be transformed into a regular mattress when your child gets out of them. They're also great for when you don't have much space in your home, and come with features like a drop-down side or tilt to provide easy access to your baby. The only downside is that they tend to last for only 6 months, so you'll have to put your baby into a cot or a moses shell after this time.
