Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A bedside crib, also known as a cosleeper, lets your baby sleep close to you during the night. It is important to adhere to the official safe sleeping guidelines of 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. Additionally, its slim frame makes it easy to move from room to room.

Safety

Bedside cribs are an excellent alternative for families who co-sleep. However, NHS Safe Sleep advice suggests that parents use a separate sleeping surface for their infant and avoid sharing a bed to reduce the risks of suffocation, heat exhaustion and rollovers.

When choosing a crib for your bed it is crucial to check that the product is compliant with European safety standards and adheres to Lullaby Trust codes to ensure secure sleep to ensure your baby is sleeping in a safe and secure environment. Bedside cribs that have adjustable height settings can be fitted to the bed frame of the parent which reduces the chance of gaps in which babies could become trapped. The cribs are equipped with a flat, firm mattress that is designed to promote healthy sleep habits.

Most bedside cribs have a panel that can be adjusted so that you can be able to see your baby in the night. This allows you to easily provide comfort, feed and supervise your baby without leaving the bed. This is especially helpful for mothers who are recovering from csection births or with mobility issues. Some models, like the SnuzPod4, offer a reflux incline function for babies suffering from reflux or digestive issues.

A lower panel can also lower the risk of your baby falling over the edge of the bed. Many of these panels come with mesh sides that prevent pillows and duvets from falling into the crib. This is essential in reducing the risk of SIDS. Babies who roll on their backs are more likely to drown.

It is advised to keep any soft or dummy toys out of the crib as well, as these can also be a danger to your child's health if they are suffocated. A crib mattress that is breathable and regular checks for any gaps or loose bedding are also vital to keep your baby safe. Once your baby can sit up or stand (typically at about 6 months) they will require an cot, or a different sleeping arrangement that is suitable for. If you are concerned about this transition, talk to your GP or a health care professional.

Comfort

The most suitable cribs for bedside use provide a safe, comfortable place for your baby to sleep. Designed to sit next to your bed, they will allow you to take care of your little one without getting out of bed. They will also give you the opportunity to bond with your baby in those precious early months. This feeling of security can help you establish a positive bedtime routine and increase your baby's overall sleep quality.

Your baby should be kept in a bedside crib until they reach 6 months old or can climb up, at which point you should move them to an older cot. Bedside cribs can be used to accommodate your child up to this age, but you should check the product guidelines.

When selecting a bedside crib vs cot crib make sure it is in compliance with EN 1130 safety standards. It must also be compatible with your existing bed (most attach to standard bed frames, but it is important to double-check the exact dimensions). It is important that the mattress of your crib is firm, flat and ventilated. This is crucial for the health of your baby.

The Chicco Next2me side sleeper is a favorite among our mum testers. It features a height adjustable base and can be used as a stand-alone crib, or connected to a bed. This crib is lightweight and easy to put together. It also offers excellent value for money. Silvercross Voyager is another of our top picks. Our test subjects are awestruck by its versatility, comfortable mattresses and reflux incline feature.

Space

A bedside crib is a sleep space that can be secured to the side of your own bed which allows you to keep your baby close during the night without having to worry about the risk of co-sleeping (which is not recommended by The Lullaby Trust and NHS). They've been gaining popularity with mothers looking for ways to bond with their newborn while remaining safe.

They typically feature a lowering panel, which you can use to safely feel and see your baby, and some 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 an incline function for reflux too that many of our test moms appreciated for aiding digestion and reducing discomfort for infants suffering from reflux or wind.

A lot of cribs for bedside use come with adjustable height settings, which allows you to put them at the exact same level as your mattress. This eliminates any gaps which could cause the baby to slide out or climb. This is particularly beneficial for those recovering from C-sections, as it can be difficult to get into and out of the bed.

The lowered sides offer some privacy and are perfect for parents who are worried about sharing their space with a baby. It's important to remember that even if you decide to sleep with your baby in a crib or cot near your bed, it is important to follow the guidelines for safe sleeping and not share your bed with anyone else.

Before purchasing it, you'll need to ensure whether your crib for bedside is compatible with your bed frame. Some cribs clip onto bedsteads, whereas others are better suited for divan beds. And don't forget you'll need an appropriate mattress for your new crib that is typically sold in addition to the crib and must be in line with the most recent BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements.

Some bedside cot wooden cribs also convert into toddler beds, which can provide the longevity of parents who don't want to buy an additional crib for their child who is older. The SnuzPod4 is one such model, featuring a sleek, slim frame that easily fits into the corner of your bedroom, and provides plenty of room for your baby to sleep comfortably. It's also easy to assemble and comes with a convenient travel bag.

Convenience

One of the best things about a crib for bed is that it's easy to get your baby in and out of bed for cuddles, feedings and getting to sleep. Many cribs have a side panel which can be adjusted to allow you to talk and touch your baby without disturbing them. Some cribs keep the panel in place throughout the day which is ideal for new parents who may be recovering from a C section and want to keep their newborn close.

Some cribs come with tilting features that may help with reflux or colic. It is important to note that the tilting of the crib should only be performed by parents who know their baby's medical requirements and their history.

Think about how easy it is to clean the crib, and if you can machine wash it or if you'll need to wash it manually. Some cribs come with waterproof covers to protect against leaky nappies, infant sick and dribbles. Some cribs have a storage bag that makes them perfect for traveling if you have to take your baby bedside co sleeper along.

It's also important to take into consideration the weight of the crib be and whether it is easy to move it from one room to the next. Our 2021 Mother & Baby awards mum tester Jasmine described the Red Kite Cozysleep on the side of the crib as "just the right size and light enough to be easy to move around your home. It folds flat and comes with a bag for trips to grandparents.
