Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn bedside cot is a compact sleeper that allows new babies to sleep in the same room as their parents, without the dangers of co-sleeping (which the AAP advises against due to suffocation and SIDS). It makes it easier to take care of your infant and feed them during the night.

This sleeper features a firm mattress that is designed to help babies' backs and reduce the chance of SIDS. It can be swiveled over your adult bed so that you can raise your baby for sunrise cuddles or nighttime nursing.

Budget

A bedside crib, also referred to as a co-sleeper or bassinet is a bassinet-style crib that can be attached to your existing bed. This lets you safely and easily reach your baby for mid-night feeding, comforting or cuddles. These are perfect for mothers and new parents recovering from a c-section because they provide easy access to the baby without needing to get out of the bed.

There are many different designs available, from the basic ones with just a drop down side to more sophisticated ones that offer multiple adjustment options, including incline or height. Most convert to an independent crib for naps during the day or when your baby is around a few months old and sleeps longer at night.

One of our favorites is the Maxi-Cosi Lora which was nominated for the 2021 Mother&baby bedside sleeper awards for the categories of Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket.

The NHS and Lullaby Trust advise you to keep your baby in the same room with you but separate from you for the first six months because this will reduce the chance of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).

Mum home tester Jasmin loved that the crib does not take up much space in her bedroom, and she found the size to be perfect for a baby.

Safety

It is important to think about the safety of the crib for your newborn.

Bedside bassinets enable parents to keep their newborns close, facilitating night time feedings, comforting, and monitoring without having to get up.

This close proximity can also support breastfeeding mothers, as it allows them to be attentive to the needs of their baby while also sleeping. This can help maintain the supply of milk and also encourage breastfeeding. Some bedside cots come with adjustable height features that can help mother and child to access the bassinet to feed or take care of other needs during the night.

Many bassinets are equipped with mattresses that are firm. This is designed to minimize suffocation risk and meets the standards of the industry. This is important because a newborn's bones are brittle and aren't fully developed. They need to be supported to avoid damage. The mattress should be covered with an appropriate sheet to reduce the risk that dust mites or other allergens, can choke a child. It should also be kept free of allergens and clean.

Some bedside cots can be tilted, which is beneficial for babies with reflux or digestive issues, but it should be done with great caution and at a gentle angle. Avoid placing pillows, duvets, or padded crib bumpers in the bassinet. They could pose the risk of suffocation your baby bedside crib.

It's also worth considering an adjustable bassinet with a secure attachment system that can be easily fixed to your bed without the need for tools. This is particularly beneficial for parents who have difficulty lift their child into and out of the crib or are concerned about their child accidentally rolling over during sleep. If your bassinet is equipped with secured attachments, it's a good idea to regularly check that it's securely attached and that there aren't gaps or loose parts that could pose a hazard.

Comfort

Thankfully, there's an innovative sleep solution that lets you keep your baby close throughout the night, without any of the dangers that come with sharing beds.

It's also the perfect choice for mothers recovering from a csection, because it eliminates the need to bend over too much or even get out of bed.

A modern cot for infants should have a sturdy and flat mattress that can ensure a safe sleep and lower the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Bedding should be simple with just a cot sheet and a blanket that is tightly tucked on the bottom. Avoid toys, bumpers or pillows since they could be thrown over your baby and pose a risk of suffocation. If your baby is used to being swaddled you can use a swaddle or baby sleep bag for the initial few weeks, but it is best to remove it when possible after they've gained the strength and confidence to unwrap themselves.

Some cribs for bedside use a removable or drop-down side for easy access to your baby for feedings in the middle of the night and comforting. This is a great feature for parents who want to keep a close relationship with their child, while still following NHS guidelines on sleep. However, if you're considering sleeping in the same bed as your baby, it's important to understand that this practice has been linked to a higher risk of SIDS especially in the event that a parent rolls onto their child during sleep.

A fabric that breathes will keep your baby comfortable and cool throughout the night.
