Bedside Sleeper Cot

A bedside cosleeper sleeper cot (also called a bassinet) is attached to the bed's side so that your baby is close enough to be able to enjoy night feeding but safe within their own sleeping area. Our mums love how they are easy to reach, and can also pivot the sides and lower them to be closer.

Safety

The bedside crib co sleeper sleeper allows parents to supervise, comfort and feed their newborns at the night without worrying about the risks of sharing a bed. This can result in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The cots are in line with NHS guidelines for co-sleeping and are recommended by childcare experts such as Dr McKenna, director of Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory.

They also provide instant breastfeeding support and help babies feel more secure by keeping them close to their parents, promoting healthy attachment that can assist with milestones in development. It is crucial that parents look for bassinets that are simple to clean and safe to use and ensure they have been tested and certified by a reliable agency such as JPMA.

In 2023, ASTM updated its version of the large bedside crib sleeper's voluntary standard F2906 in response to newer products that convert from an infant bassinet to a bedside sleeper by dropping one side rail adjacent to an adult bed, which allows some areas of the lower side to be at an elevated height above the mattress, presenting an increased risk of entrapment. The CPSC direct final rule incorporates this revision by reference to the mandatory standards in place under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008(CPSIA) for infant or toddler products which are in use for longer than 180 days and is expected to lower the risk of injuries.

Keep in mind that a bedside or bassinet should not be used in conjunction with pillows, blankets or other bedding. This can be a suffocation hazard as infants aren't able to lift their heads up enough to keep them away from soft objects. A reclining position could cause the head tip forward, blocking their airway. Always put your child on their backs in a crib, bassinet or play yard or bedside sleeper. Be sure to use only a fitted sheet that meets federal requirements.

Convenience

It is essential to keep your baby close to you during the night. This can help create bonds between the parents and their infants. Bedside sleeper bassets attach securely to the sides of your mattress which allows you to reach your baby easily to change diapers, feeds and comforting in the middle of the night. We looked for models with mesh sides that were transparent and easy to see through to allow you to monitor your child without stepping up from bed.

It's important that the bassinet you pick is certified as safe for babies by an independent testing agency, and meets all the requirements of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Look for a wide base, a sturdy attachment mechanism, and a sturdy structure that will stop the bassinet from falling over. A comfortable mattress is crucial also.

Choose a model with a manual rocking function that's gentle on your baby and can help settle them to sleep. Certain models have tilt features that is beneficial for babies suffering from colic or reflux. However this is only recommended on the advice of your doctor or health professional.

Some bassinets come with mattresses, while others require that you purchase one separately. Purchase a mattress that is designed to be a perfect fit for the bedside sleeper. Second-hand mattresses are often too soft, and could pose a SIDS risk. It is also necessary to invest in a breathable fitted sheet and muslin blanket for your baby bedside cot. Be sure to check the fabric lining. The foam mattress can be machine washed for ease of cleaning. A basket or shelf for storage is a convenient feature to store things like nappies, clothing and muslins. There are also models with wheels that allow for ease of movement around your house.

Breastfeeding Support

If you plan to feed your baby in the night, a sleeper cot by your bed can aid you in getting the most out of your feedings. Attached to your bed you can reach across to feed your baby once he wakes up. The cot's side can then lower to create a bassinet that is shallow for safe side-by-side sleeping. Certain models can tilt to provide support for reflux.

The curving sides of the cot mean that it's easy to see your baby, and they won't fall off the side as you lift them up for feeding. Some cots with a bedside sleeper feature an automatic rocking function which can calm your baby and encourage them to return to sleep quicker after feeding.

A soft fabric, as well as machine washable and removable bedding are helpful when it comes to keeping your baby clean. Certain models come with gentle rocking and vibration features that can help soothe your baby into sleep. Having plenty of storage space is another benefit for breastfeeding mothers.

Bed-sharing is very popular for breastfeeding mothers due to it being practical and helps them to form an intimate bond with their baby during sleep. Research shows that breastfed babies who share a sleeping space with their mothers are more successful than babies who are bottle-fed. It is important to be aware of the risks and pitfalls of sharing an infant's bed and to choose the right mattress for your baby.

Some beds have soft surfaces or padding on their edges, which may cause your baby to become trapped. Also, you must be aware not to allow the sleeper in bed slide backwards, forming an opening that your child could crawl or roll into.

If you're worried about the safety of your baby or mother who sleeps next to you, attend an LLL meeting. Talk to a Sleep Leader about your child's sleeping habits. They can help you create a safe sleep environment for your baby, and also explain the dangers of SIDS. They will also teach you about the "sweet sleep" of nursing mothers, which has many of the same protective factors as breastfeeding.
