Baby bedside cribs let parents keep their infant close to them at night without compromising on safety. They are made to be used by newborns up until 4-6 months.

Safety features

A wooden bedside cot crib lets parents keep their babies close for evening feedings, comforting and monitoring, without having to leave their own sleeping arrangements. This arrangement of sleeping is ideal for mothers who are recovering from childbirth or those who have mobility issues. It could also help parents sleep better at night.

The main safety concern with this type of sleeping surface is that it's not an entirely secure barrier between the parent's bed and the baby's sleeping space and can result in gaps that could cause suffocation risks to young infants. Sharing a bed increases the body heat of the parent and can increase the risk of overheating. This can lead to SIDS.

While some manufacturers claim bedside co-sleepers have a higher safety rating than traditional cribs, these devices do not meet CPSC's safety guidelines. They may have slats which allow the baby's head or legs to get caught. The mechanisms for attachment could also be unstable, resulting in separation.

Furthermore, a lot of mattresses have loose bedding, which can cause suffocation. Babies do not have the muscle or coordination to get rid of the tangles in soft bedding and gaps between the frame and the mattress can cause a danger of suffocation. Some of these beddings have a hard bottom that could hurt a child should they fall upon it. One commenter suggested that the CPSC add pictograms as warnings on these products. This will reduce the chance that caregivers are unaware of key components. In addition, bedside cribs must have a smooth transition mechanism to keep the baby from falling off the parent's bed.

As the result, deaths attributed to cribs have decreased from 150 to 200 deaths per year to about 50.
