Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A bedside crib (also called a co sleeper bedside cot-sleeper) lets your baby sleep close to you during the night. It's important that you adhere to the official safe sleep guidelines from 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. It's also easy to move around due to its slim frame.

Safety

bedside rocking crib cribs are a great alternative for families who co-sleep. However, NHS Safe Sleep advice recommends that parents should make sure that they have a separate sleeping area for their infant and avoid sharing a bed to minimize the risk of overheating, suffocation and rollovers.

When selecting a bedside crib it is crucial to make sure that the crib conforms to European safety standards and conforms to Lullaby Trust codes for safe sleep, to ensure your baby is 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 might be trapped. The cribs come with an even, firm mattress designed to encourage healthy sleep habits.

The majority of cribs with a bedside feature an adjustable panel that can be lowered so that you can securely monitor your baby during the night. This means you can comfort them, feed and monitor them without needing to get out of bed. This is particularly beneficial for mothers recovering from c-section births or those who have limited mobility. Certain models, such as the SnuzPod4, also have the ability to tilt your reflux for babies suffering from reflux or digestive issues.

A lowered panel can also reduce the risks of your child slipping off the crib's edge Many have mesh sides to prevent the stray pillows or duvets from falling into. This is crucial for reducing the chance of SIDS as babies who fall off their backs are more at risk of suffocation.

Keep dummies and soft toys away from the area as they could pose suffocation risks. A mattress that is breathable for the crib and regular checks for any gaps or loose bedding are also essential to ensure your baby is secure. Once your baby is able to stand or sit (typically at around 6 months), they will need a cot or other sleeping arrangement that is suitable for. If you are concerned about this transition, it's worth speaking to your GP or health visitor.

Comfort

The most suitable cribs for bedside crib or cot use provide a safe and comfortable space for your baby's sleep. Designed to sit next to your bed, they allow you to tend to your little one without needing to get out of bed. They also allow you to bond with your baby during the first few months of their life. This sense of security will help you establish a positive bedtime routine and enhance the quality of sleep for your baby.

It is recommended to keep your child in a crib beside the bed until they reach the age of 6 months old or are able to stand independently. At the age of 6 months, you can switch them to a traditional cot. bedside cots for newborns cribs are able to accommodate your child to this age, but you should check the product guidelines.

When selecting a bedside crib, make sure that it is in line with EN 1130 safety standards and is compatible with your bed (most will clip onto the standard bed frame, but you should always check the exact dimensions). It is also important to ensure that your chosen bedside crib has a firm, flat mattress which is breathable - this is vital to the health of your baby.

Our mom testers have been talking about the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib It features a height-adjustable base that can be used as a stand-alone crib or affixed to your bed. This crib is lightweight and easy to put together. It also offers excellent value for money. One of our top picks is the Silvercross Voyager, which our testers love for its versatility, air-tight mattress and the reflux incline function.

Space

A bedside crib is a sleeping space that is secured to the side of your bed which allows you to keep your baby close during the night without any risk of co-sleeping (which is not recommended by The Lullaby Trust and NHS). They've been gaining popularity with mothers looking for a way to bond with their infant while also being secure.

Some feature a lowering panel that you can use for safe viewing and touching of your baby. Some allow you to keep the panel down at night so that you can feed and monitor your child with no hassle. Some come with an incline function for reflux too which many of our test moms loved for helping digestion and reducing discomfort for children suffering from reflux or wind.

Some cribs with a bedside also come with adjustable height settings which allows you to put them at the exact same level as your mattress. This eliminates any gap that could allow your baby to climb out or slip. This is a huge benefit for those recovering from C-sections, because it can be difficult to get into and out of bed while your body heals.

The lower sides also offer some privacy, making them perfect for new parents who are worried about sharing a space with their infant. But, it's important to note that if you opt to sleep with your child in a bedside crib or crib, it is still a good practice to follow the official safe sleeping guidance and not share your own bed.

It is also important to ensure that your bedside crib is compatible with your bed frame prior to buying it - some bedsteads clip onto bed frames while others work better with divan beds. And don't forget you'll need a suitable mattress for your new crib, which is usually sold separately to the crib and must comply with the latest BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements.

Some bedside crib that turns into cot cribs can also be converted into toddler beds. This is a great solution for parents who don't need to buy an additional cot. SnuzPod4 has a sleek frame that can fit into the corner of any bedroom and provides ample space for your child to rest comfortably. It's also easy to put together and comes with a convenient travel bag.

Convenience

A crib that is placed near the bed allows you to easily lift your child out of bed to feed, cuddle and soothe them back to sleep. Many cribs have an upper panel that slides down, so you can be able to touch and talk with your baby without having to wake them up completely or disrupt their sleep. There are cribs that keep the panel in place throughout the day - this is great for new parents who may be recovering from a C-section and wish to keep their newborn close.

Some cribs offer a tilt option, which can help with reflux and colic. It is important to keep in mind that tilting the crib should only be done by parents who know the medical needs of their child and their history.

Think about how easy it is to clean the crib and if you are able to machine wash it or if you'll need to wash it manually. Some cribs come with waterproof covers that protect against leaky nappies and baby sick and dribbles. Some cribs are equipped with bags for storage, making them perfect for traveling if you have to take your baby along.

Also, you should consider how heavy the crib is and whether it's easy to move from room room. Jasmine who was our 2021 Mother & Baby Awards mum test subject, described the Red Kite Cozysleep with the crib as "just right size and light enough to be able to move throughout your home." It also folds flat and comes with a carry-on bag for trips to visit the grandparents."
