Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A wooden bedside cot crib (also called a co-sleeper) allows your baby to rest close to you during the night. It's important that you adhere to the official safe sleep guidelines from the NHS and Lullaby Trust.

Our mum testers love the SnuzPod's breastfeeding-friendly drop side, 30-second open and fold mechanism and reflux incline function. It's also simple to move around due to its slim frame.

Safety

Bedside cribs are an excellent option for families who co-sleep. However, NHS Safe Sleep advice suggests parents use a separate sleeping surface for their baby bedside sleeper and avoid sharing a bed in order to reduce the risk of suffocation, heat exhaustion and rollovers.

When selecting a bedside crib, it is important to make sure that the crib is compliant with European safety standards and adheres to Lullaby Trust codes for safe sleep, so that your child is sleeping in a secure and safe environment. Bedside cribs with adjustable height settings can be set to match to the parent's bed frame, reducing the risk of gaps that infants may be trapped. They also come with a sturdy, flat mattress that is breathable and designed to promote healthy sleeping habits.

Most cribs for bed have a panel that can be moved to allow you to comfortably see your baby throughout the night. This allows you to soothe, feed, and supervise your baby without having to leave bed. This is particularly beneficial for mothers who have just recovered from csection births or with limited mobility. Some models, such as the SnuzPod4, offer an incline feature for reflux babies with reflux or digestive issues.

A lowered panel will also reduce the risk of your child falling over the edge of the bed. A lot of these panels have mesh sides to prevent duvets and pillows from falling into the crib. This is crucial to reduce the risk of SIDS as babies who have their backs rolled off are more at risk of suffocation.

Keep soft toys and dummies away from your child as they could pose suffocation risks. A mattress that is breathable for the crib and regular checks for gaps or loose bedding are also vital to keep your baby safe. Once your baby is able to sit up or stand (typically at about 6 months) they will require a cot or other sleeping arrangement that is suitable. If you have any questions about this transition, speak to your GP or a health visitor.

Comfort

The best cribs for beds provide an environment that is safe and comfortable for your baby to sleep. Designed to sit next to your bed, they allow you to tend to your infant without needing to get out of bed. They also give you the opportunity to bond with your newborn in those precious early months. This sense of security will help establish a positive routine for your night and improve the quality of sleep for your baby.

You should keep your child in a crib beside the bed until they reach 6 months or they are able to stand on their own. At this point, it is time to change them to an older cot. The bedside crib will usually be able to accommodate your child until this age but it is crucial to review the specific product guidelines.

When choosing a crib for your bed ensure that it is in line with EN 1130 safety standards and is compatible with your bed (most will attach to a standard bed frame but you must always verify the exact dimensions). It is crucial that the mattress of your crib is firm, flat and ventilated. This is essential for the health of your baby.

The Chicco Next2me side sleeper is a popular choice among our mum testers. It features a height-adjustable base and can be used as a standalone crib or connected to the bed.

They usually have a lowering panel, which you can use to safely feel and see your baby, as well as others that allow you to put the panel down at night to allow for the convenience of feeding and monitoring your baby in a relaxed manner. Some models have a reflux incline function too which many of our test moms appreciated for aiding digestion and alleviating discomfort for children suffering from reflux or wind.

Many bedside cribs also have adjustable height settings, allowing you to place them on the exact level as your mattress. This eliminates any gaps that could allow your baby to slide out or climb. This is particularly beneficial for those who are recovering from C-sections since it can be difficult for them to get in and out of bed.

The lowered sides also offer some privacy, which makes them ideal for parents who are worried about sharing a space with their infant. It's important to note that if you choose to sleep with your child in a crib that is near to bed or a cot, it's still best to follow the official guidelines for safe sleep and not share your bed.

Some bedside cribs can also be converted into toddler beds, which can provide the longevity of parents who don't want to invest in an additional crib for their child who is older. SnuzPod4 is a sleek frame that can fit into the corner of any bedroom and offers plenty of space for your child to rest comfortably. It's also simple to put together and comes with a convenient travel bag.

Convenience

A crib that is placed near the bed makes it easy to lift your child from the bed to feed, cuddle and then soothe them to sleep. Many cribs have an upper panel that slides down, so you can contact and talk to your little one without having to wake them completely or disturb their sleep. Some cribs have the side panel down all the time. This is ideal for parents recovering from C-sections and want to keep their child close.

Some cribs offer a tilt option, which can help with reflux and colic. It is important to keep in mind that tilting the crib should only be performed by parents who know the medical needs of their child and history.

Some cribs also come with a storage bag, making them perfect to travel with if you want to take your baby with you.

It's also important to take into consideration the weight of the crib be, and if it's simple to move it from one room to the next. Our 2021 Mother & Baby awards mum tester Jasmine said that the Red Kite Cozysleep next to the crib as "just the right size and light enough for it to be easy to move around the house. It folds flat and comes with a bag for travel for trips to grandparents."

Be aware that even though a crib may appear beautiful and stylish, it's crucial to keep in mind that your newborn will quickly grow out of its small size. Therefore, you'll have to transfer your baby into a crib bed before they begin to get out of it.
