Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn bedside cot mattress cot is a small sleeper that allows new babies to share the same room as their parents, without the dangers of co-sleeping (which the AAP cautions against due suffocation and SIDS). It also makes nursing sessions and care much easier.

This sleeper features a firm mattress that is designed to help babies' backs and decrease the chance of SIDS. It can slide over your adult bed to allow you to get your baby for nighttime nursing or cuddles at sunrise.

Budget

A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or cosleeper, is a bassinet style crib that can be attached to your existing bed. This allows you to reach your baby quickly and safely for a mid-night feed, comforting, or cuddles. They are a great choice for new parents or mums recovering from a csection as they offer the baby with easy access and don't require you to get out of bed.

There are many different styles available that range from basic models with just a drop-down option to more sophisticated models that can be adjusted in a variety of ways with incline and height options. Most can be converted into a standalone crib when your baby grows older and has a longer sleep time in the night.

One of our favorites is the Maxi-Cosi Lora that was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards in Best Cot Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket. MFM home tester Emily commented on how stylish and modern the design as well as the feature that you can use it as a regular bassinet, or attach it to a bed for safe side-by-side sleeping. She also appreciated the soft mattress that has passed our test for firmness and the fact that it features a manual rocking function that can be set to a slight incline for reflux sufferers.

She wasn't a fan of the fact that it had a non mesh panel at the bottom and she thought it was too heavy to move around from room to room. It also felt a little heavy to carry up and down the stairs, especially when folded into a bag for travel cot bedside.

Mum Jasmin was delighted that the crib didn't take up much space in her bedroom and thought it was the ideal size for a baby. She also said that the mattress was of good quality and not like other mattresses that seem thin and flimsy. She also appreciates that it has storage space beneath for bedding and clothes which other bassinets don't have.

Mehack Mehack, an MFM mum who tested the product at home, likes the ability to remove the side wall to allow easier access to your baby. She also likes the fact that legs slide under the bed so it does not look big or take up too much floor space. She's also impressed with how it was easy to move around the house when she needed to do feeds and check-ins during the night.

Some cots with a 4-in-1 bedside crib are equipped with adjustable height options, which will help ensure that the bassinet is a comfortable height for both mother and baby for easy access to mid-night feedings or care.

Many bassinets come with a firm mattress that is designed to reduce the risk of suffocation, and is in line with industry standards. It is essential to support the bones of a newborn because they are still squishy and are not fully formed. The mattress should be covered in a fitted sheet to minimize the risk of suffocation from dust mites or other allergens and kept hygienically clean and free of allergens.

Some bedside cribs can be tilted. This is useful for babies with reflux or digestive problems. However, this should be done with care and with caution. Avoid placing pillows, duvets, or padded crib bumpers in the bassinet. They could pose the risk of suffocation to your baby.

It's also worth looking into an infant bassinet that has an attached system that is secure and can be easily fixed to your bed without the necessity of tools. This feature is especially useful for parents who have difficulty carry their child into and out of the crib or are concerned about their baby accidentally falling asleep. If your bassinet has secured attachments it's recommended to regularly check that it's securely attached and that there aren't gaps or loose components that could pose a hazard.

Modern bedside cots for babies should be fitted with a firm, flat mattress to encourage safe sleeping habits and reduce the risk Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The bedding should be kept as simple as possible and consist of only the sheets for the cot and a blanket that is tightly tucked into the bottom. Avoid bumpers, toys and pillows that may fall onto your baby posing a suffocation risk. If your baby is used to being swaddled, you can make use of a swaddle, or a baby sleep bag for the first few weeks, however this should be removed when possible after they've gained the strength and confidence to pull themselves out of the wrap.

Some cribs for large bedside crib use an option to remove or drop down the side that provides easy access to your baby for comforting and feeding during the middle of the night. This feature is ideal for parents who wish to maintain a close bond with their child but still adhere to NHS guidelines for sleep.

A fabric that is breathable is an important safety factor, since it's designed to keep your baby cool and comfortable throughout the night.
