Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn bedside cot is a tiny sleeper that allows newborns to share a room as their parents without the risk of sleeping together (which the AAP advises against due to SIDS and suffocation). It helps you care for your baby and nurse them during the night.

This sleeper has a sturdy mattress that is designed to support the backs of babies and minimize the risk of SIDS. It can slide over your bed to allow you to lift your baby out for midnight cuddles or a sunrise kiss.

Budget

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

There are many different designs on the market that range from basic models with only a drop-down side, to more sophisticated ones that can be adjusted in a variety of ways including height and incline options. Many can be converted into a standalone crib when your baby gets older and is sleeping longer at night.

Maxi-Cosi Lora is one our favorites. It was nominated in the best bedside cot for newborn Cot category for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards. MFM home tester Emily commented how stylish and modern the design was. She also liked the fact that it could be used as a bassinet or Newborn Bedside Cot clipped to your existing bed for a safe side-by-side sleep. She also adored its soft mattress, which passed our firmness tests and it also has a manual inclining function for those who suffer from reflux.

She wasn't a fan of the fact that it had a non mesh panel at the bottom, and considered it too bulky to move from room to room. She also found it a bit heavy to carry up and down the stairs once it was folded up into its travel bag.

Size

A bedside cot is the bassinet style cot that can be fixed to the side of the bed. It allows you to easily reach your newborn for middle-of-the-night feeding, nappies and comforting. It's also great for mothers recovering from C-sections.

The NHS and Lullaby Trust recommend that you keep your baby separated from you in the first six month, to reduce the risk of SIDS. The crib at the bedside with its low sides is a great method to accomplish this. It allows you to be able to easily access your baby throughout the night.

It is important that your baby is sleeping on a firm and not an extremely soft mattress. A mattress that is soft increases the risk of suffocation among newborns, since they do not have the motor control required to turn. The breathable fabric and skin-friendly materials make the mattress comfortable for your baby but firm enough for safety.

Mum Jasmin was happy that the crib didn't take up much space in her room and thought it was the ideal size for a baby. She also said that the mattress was excellent quality, in contrast to some that feel flimsy and thin. She also appreciates that it has a storage compartment beneath to store blankets and clothing which she claims many other bassinets lack.

Mehack, a MFM mum who tested the product at home, likes that you can take off the side wall to make it easier to access your baby. She also likes the fact that the legs can be tucked under the bed to make it appear less bulky and take up less area on the floor. She's also impressed with how it was simple to move around her home in the event of check-ins and feedings during the night.

A winner of a Gold award at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards, the CoZee Air is a popular choice amongst parents. It features a smart design with four built-in pulleys to raise or lower the crib and includes a large bedside cot storage basket for toys, blankets and other essentials. It is also light and easy to put together which makes it perfect for travel with your baby.

Safety

It is crucial to think about the safety of the right crib for your baby's bed. The official safety sleep guidelines of both the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that babies not sleep in their parents' beds due to the dangers of suffocation, heat exhaustion and a higher risk of suffering from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bedside bassinets enable parents to keep their newborns close, which allows for nighttime feedings as well as monitoring without the need to get up.

This close proximity can also support breastfeeding mothers, as it lets them attend to the baby's needs while also sleeping. This can help maintain the supply of milk and encourage breastfeeding. Some cots with a bedside are equipped with adjustable height features that can make it easier for the mother and child to reach the bassinet for feedings or other care throughout the night.

A lot of bassinets have mattresses that are firm. This is designed to minimize the risk of suffocation, and also meets industry standards. This is essential because newborn's bones are soft and not fully developed and require support to avoid damage. The mattress should be covered with an appropriate sheet to reduce the risk that dust mites, or other allergens, could choke a child. It should also be kept free of allergens and clean.

Some cots with a bedside have the ability to be tilted, which is useful for babies with reflux or digestive issues, however this should be done with great caution and at a gentle angle. It is also essential to avoid adding pillows, duvets, or padded crib bumpers to the bassinet, as they could pose the risk of suffocation for your baby. They should only be used when the cot is on flat surfaces.

It's also worth considering an infant bassinet that has an attached system that is secure and can be easily attached to your bed without the necessity of tools. This is particularly beneficial for parents who struggle to carry their child into and out of the crib or are concerned about their child accidentally rolling over while sleeping. If your bassinet has a secure attachment system, it's recommended to regularly ensure that it's securely secured and that there aren't any gaps or loose parts that could cause danger.

Comfort

If you're planning to become a parent, your baby's comfort is one of your primary concerns. There's a new sleep solution that allows you to keep your baby close in the evening, without the risk of sharing the bed. The newborn bedside cot is basically a bassinet-style cot that is attached to the bed's side, allowing you to safely lift them out towards you for feeding at night and calming. It is also a great choice for mothers who are recovering from a C section as it removes the need to get up or to bend over.

Modern cots for infants should have a flat, firm mattress to encourage safe sleep habits and lower the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Bedding should be easy comprising a cot sheets and a blanket that is tightly tucked at the bottom. Avoid toys, bumpers and pillows that can be thrown over your baby, creating an obstructive risk. If your baby is familiar with being swaddled, you can use a swaddle or baby sleep bag for the initial few weeks, but this should be removed when possible after they've gained the strength and confidence to take off their wraps.

Some cribs with a bedside have an open or removable side to make it easy for your newborn for middle-of-the-night feeds and comforting. This is a great feature for parents who want to keep a close relationship with their child while adhering to NHS guidelines on sleep. If you're planning to sleep in the same bed as your child it's important to recognize that this practice has been associated with an increased risk of SIDS particularly if a parent unintentionally is able to roll onto their child during sleep.

A fabric that breathes will keep your baby cool and cool throughout the night. This is especially important if you intend to sleep with your newborn, as the risk of overheating when sleeping increases.
