The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns

A bedside cot is a bassinet-style crib that can be attached to the side of your bed, making it easy to reach your baby for fuss-free night feeding. They're suitable from birth to around six months.

The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that infants are kept in separate cots from their parents bed. This will lower the risk of SIDS. These best bedside co sleeper cot cots can help.

1. Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper with Clear-Vue

Arm's Reach was founded by two fathers and mothers when co-sleeping wasn't the norm. They designed a design that allowed parents to sleep safely with their newborns. It was the first-ever bedside travel cot bedside crib that allows babies to sleep close by without being suffocated or falling into the mattress or on the parent's side of the bed. The Clear-Vue is still in widespread use today, with over 25 years of history and no reported injuries or deaths.

It comes with a fitted mattress and a bassinet. The bassinet can be used for newborns until five months old or until they are climbing up on their knees. The Co-Sleeper can be used as a stand-alone, standalone bassinet or it can attach to the bed of the parent using the included attachment strap and plate. It's easy to transfer between the two modes using the pulling of a string but you should be aware that it doesn't meet the federal standards for an attached bed so your child should never be left unattended in this arrangement of sleeping.
