Bedside Cots – The Safe Alternative to Co-Sleeping A bedside crib is an attachment that is secured to the bed's side. This allows for safe cosleeping. It allows you to be able to see and reach your baby for feedings at night without having to disturb them. It's also great for those suffering from reflux. NHS guidelines recommend that your newborn sleeps in their own crib, cot or Moses basket for the first six months. A bedside crib is a practical and affordable alternative to a large cot. Safety Cots offer an ensconced and safe place for babies to sleep. They are built with high sides to prevent babies from falling. The footboards and headboards are shaped to prevent babies from becoming entangled. Additionally, the cot should not be cluttered with soft toys, cot bumpers, and wedges that can be dangerous to choke. The Lullaby Trust advises that babies should not be sleeping in their parents' beds for the first six months of their lives due to the possibility of in suffocation. Many parents struggle to resist the urge to share their bed with a baby who is sleeping, so a bedside crib is a great option for safe and peaceful co-sleeping. These cribs are attached to the side or headboard of the bed of the parent so that you can reach your child without needing to get out of bed. They also meet all safety standards. If you're looking to buy a cot with an option to drop down overnight, look for the SnuzPod4. The crib features dual-view mesh windows and the ability to zip down the wall, which allows it to be used on its own for a good night's sleep. It also meets the new standard for cot safety and comes with a rocking feature that helps babies sleep. When you are choosing a cot check that it has been thoroughly cleaned and is the appropriate size for your child. It should be at minimum 50cm in depth to stop your child from leaving the cot as they increase in height. Also, be sure to take away any stickers and transfer paper from the interior of the cot, since they may peel off and pose a choking hazard. The cot shouldn't be too close to a radiator or a sunny window, since babies are more at risk of SIDS because of overheating. Blind cords must be removed as babies can get caught in them. The cot should also be free from pillows, duvets and other bedding, as they can cause the suffocation of a child. It is also recommended to read the safety guidelines for cots before buying one for your baby. The NHS and Lullaby Trust provide a wealth of information and tips on how to ensure your baby's safety while sleeping. You can also attend an NCT New Baby course to learn more about safe sleeping. Design Bedside cribs are an excellent way to safely co-sleep with your baby, and they come in many different designs. Some are bassinet-style, which is attached to your bed so that you can easily lift your baby for a night feed or help soothe them back to sleep without getting out of your bed. Others are portable, like the Slumber Carbon 3-in-1, that transforms into a travel cot, playpen and co-sleeper for use at home or on the go. The Lullaby Trust advises that your baby should sleep on their backs regardless of their sleeping arrangement. This will help lower the risk of SIDS. When selecting a mattress for your baby's crib, make sure it's firm and flat and fits snugly into the cot without gaps. It is also recommended to use an air-tight cover to shield your mattress from spills and accidents. Celeb mums such as Stacey Solomon and Binky Felstead are huge fans of bedside cribs. They are cots in the bassinet style which attach to the side of your bed. They come with the option of lowering or taking off the side, allowing you to reach your baby to feed or soothe them during the night. They are also great for parents recovering after C-sections. Portability A bedside crib allows you to keep your baby close to you at all times, particularly in the beginning of their life when night feedings and diaper changes are common. It allows you to attend to your baby's requirements without having to step out of your own bed, and will help your child establish an intimate relationship with you. It also helps you get a good night's sleep. Most bedside cots are able to be moved around the room. They are great for small spaces and can be used as a stand-alone crib or a bedside cot that is attached to the bed's side. Some are compact enough to fit into your suitcase when traveling with your baby. Some models come with a collapsible part that makes it easier to lift your child out to to feed them at night, or to soothe him back to sleep. This is beneficial for mothers who are breastfeeding and reduces the risk of suffocation or sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Most bedside cribs can be used by babies from six months old. However, some cribs are suitable for older children. The Tutti Bambini CoZee bedside crib is a great choice for new parents as it's versatile, safe and comes with a travel bag.

They can aid your baby to develop independence by separating their sleeping environment from yours. This is especially beneficial in the first few months of life in which your baby will need frequent nappy and night changes. It's also a great choice for parents who have trouble reaching down to pick their baby up. Most bedside cots are easily affixed to your main mattress and have a comfortable baby mattress. You can add additional bedding, like a soft fitted sheet, to ensure that your baby is secure and comfortable during the night.

A bedside crib's price can be different, but they are generally less expensive than the cost of a larger crib. These cribs can also be a great gift for new parents. The CoZee from Kinderkraft, for example, is a great value. It can be used as an end-of-bed crib, standalone bed, and travel cot. It includes a breathable mattress and the stand. A fitted sheet is included to increase comfort and prevent stains. A trusted brand like SnuzPod can provide an array of fabrics and colors to match your baby's nursery or bedroom. They also have a padded base that provides cushioning and support for your baby. A majority of cribs can be adjusted to the height of your mattress, and some also have a slight reflux angle to assist your child to sleep better. It's tempting to purchase a used bedside crib. However, large bedside crib is crucial to buy an entirely new mattress. Old or second-hand mattresses can increase your baby's risk of SIDS, and may not be as supportive. It's important to make sure that the mattress fits properly Certain cribs were created to only fit certain brands. Another option is to buy a cot bed that will be suitable for your child when they're older. These are more expensive, but are a great investment for the safety and health of your child. These are also a good option if you're planning to have more than one child.
