Bedside Cot Bed

A bedside crib (also called a bassinet or side sleeper) attaches to the parent's bed to ensure safe co-sleeping. You can easily reach your child during the night for feedings and comforting without disrupting your sleep.

It is important to ensure that the crib is attached securely and regularly checked for any gaps that could be a suffocation hazard. Some cribs can be transformed into cots for your growing baby using conversion kits.

Safety

The close proximity of a bedside crib allows mothers to quickly respond to their newborns needs throughout the night, including feeding their babies with bottles and breastfeeding, as well as aiding them in maintaining their milk supply. It also allows them to feed their babies without getting up or leave the bed. This helps promote healthy sleep habits for both parents and infants.

Most bedside cot beds are fitted with a mesh that's securely fixed to the sides of the cot, reducing the risk of a baby getting stuck or strangled in the gaps. It's important to regularly inspect the mesh for any tears or loose threads that could get caught or catch baby's clothing and ensure there aren't any other dangers such as protruding handles or bars that could cause your newborn to get out of the cot. Also, look out for parts made of plastic that could be hot to the touch, and beware of sharp edges or splinters.

Convenience

Some beds have a storage area beneath, which is ideal for storing nappies and blankets. This is a great space to store toys, baby accessories and other items. Some are convertible, which means they can be converted from a side-sleeper into an adult-sized bed or a toddler bed when your child grows older.
