Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus Bedside sleepers let you keep your baby close to you without the risk of bed-sharing, which is associated with an increased risk of suffocation. They're also a great option for babies. Find models with an adjustable height that gives a perfect fit on all bed frames. Find fabrics that are easy-to-clean and breathable. Safety A bedside cot can be described as a bassinet that is attached to the bed's side for safe sleeping. It can be used to pull your baby towards you to provide comfort, feed or to help soothe them at night. It's also an excellent option if you have had a c section. It's different from a Moses basket or cot because it has high sides to ensure your baby can't fall out. Some models have a tilt function which can help babies with reflux and colic. They are also a bit larger than Moses baskets, making them easier to move from room room. The NHS and The Lullaby Trust, a safe sleep charity, recommend that infants be placed in a bassinet or cot in the same room as their parents. They shouldn't be sleeping in your bed. This is because sharing a bed increases the risk of suffocation and overheating. Bedside cribs provide the best of both worlds by giving your baby the opportunity to be close to you at night, but in their own private and secure sleeping space. Make sure the crib is compliant with the most current safety standards. It must be BS EN1130:2019. Also, ensure that there aren't any gaps or areas where your baby could get trapped. Find a mattress with an even, firm surface. A soft or sagging mattress can increase the risk of SIDS, so choose for a brand new mattress, instead of a second-hand. Finally, you should look for bedding that is affixed and free from any loose blankets or pillows. Pillows are a suffocation risk and duvets could get stuck to the baby's face. Use a fitted sheet, but ensure that it fits properly. Our MFM mother testers have discovered that the SnuzPod4 is an excellent choice for a bedside crib, selected for 2021's Mother&Baby Awards in the best Cot, Crib, or Moses Basket category.

She also liked the fact that one side of the crib can be lowered, allowing her pick up her baby without needing to get out of bed. This is especially beneficial if you have had a C-section or recovering from a Caesarean which means you can sleep near your newborn for longer. Another mom who loved using the SnuzPod 4 is Jasmine who noted that it was easy to move from room room – something she didn't discover with other cribs for bedside that she tried. However, she said that it took some effort to lift and lower the crib, as the handle was quite stiff.
