Bedside Sleeper Cot

A bedside sleeper cot (also known as a bassinet) can be attached to the side of your bed so baby can be close enough for nighttime feeding, but in their own space to sleep. Our moms love how they are simple to reach, and can also pivot the sides and drop them to get closer.

Safety

The bedside sleeper allows parents to monitor, comfort and feed their babies at night without having to worry about the dangers of bed-sharing. This could lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The cots comply with NHS guidelines for co-sleeping and are recommended by childcare experts like Dr McKenna director of the Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory.

They also offer instant breastfeeding support and help babies feel more secure by keeping them close, encouraging healthy attachment that can assist with milestones in development. Parents should search for bassinets that are easy to clean and safe to use and have been certified by a reputable organization like JPMA.

In 2023, ASTM updated their version of the standard F2906 that is voluntary for bedside sleepers in response to the newer products which convert from a bassinet for babies to a bedside cot bed sleeping device by the side rails being lower next to a adult bed. This allows some portions of the lower side to be elevated above the mattress and presents an increased risk of entrapment. The CPSC direct final rule incorporates this 2023 revision by reference to the mandatory standards in place under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008(CPSIA) for infant or toddler products that have been used for longer than 180 days. It is expected to reduce the chance of injury.

Be aware that a bedside or bassinet is not recommended to be used with blankets, pillows, bedside sleeper cot or other bedding. This could be a suffocation hazard as infants aren't able to raise their heads high enough to free them from soft objects. A reclining position may result in the head tipping to tilt forward, which can block their airway. Always put your child on their back when using a crib, bassinet or play yard. Use a fitted sheet that meets the federal requirements.

Convenience

It is crucial to keep your baby close throughout the night. This helps create an emotional bond between the parents and their infants. Bassinets for sleepers that are attached to the sides of your bed, allowing you to easily reach your child to change diapers feedings, as well as comforting. We searched for models that had mesh sides that were translucent and able to be seen through to allow you to keep an eye on your child without stepping up from the bed.

You should make sure that the bassinet you purchase meets the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) requirements and is deemed safe for infants. Make sure you choose a large base, a strong attachment mechanism, and bedside sleeper cot a sturdy structure that prevents the bassinet from falling over. A mattress that is breathable should be included.

Choose the model that comes with an option for manual rocking. This will be gentle on the skin of your baby and help them fall asleep. Certain models also have tilt options, which can be helpful for infants suffering from colic or reflux, but should only be used with the advice of your GP or health visitor.

Some bassinets include a mattress, while others require that you purchase a mattress separately. Make sure you buy one that is made to fit in your bedside bassinet, as second-hand mattresses can be too soft and could pose the risk of SIDS. You should also buy a breathable fitted bed sheet and the muslin baby blanket. To make cleaning easier ensure that the lining of the fabric or foam mattress can be washed using the machine. A storage shelf or basket is a great option to store things like nappies, clothing and muslins. There are many models with wheels to make it easier to move around the home.

Breastfeeding support

If you decide to breastfeed, a cot that sleeps at your bedside will help you get the most out of your night-time feedings. Attached to your bed it allows you to reach over to feed your baby when he wakes up. The cot's side can drop down to create a bassinet that is shallow for safe side-by-side sleeping. Some models also tilt to accommodate reflux.

The curving sides of the cot mean that it's easy to spot your baby, and they won't roll out of the side when you lift them up to feed. Some cots with a bedside sleeper include an automatic rocking function that can help calm your baby and encourage them to return to sleep more quickly after a feed.

If you want to keep your baby clean, a soft fabric and removable bedding that can be machine-washed can be very beneficial. Some models come with gentle rocking bedside crib or vibration functions which can soothe your baby to sleep. Ample storage space is also a an advantage for breastfeeding moms.

Bed-sharing is extremely popular with breastfeeding mothers because it is practical and helps them to form the mother with a close relationship with her baby while they sleep. Research shows that breastfed babies who share a sleeping space with their mothers are more successful than babies who are bottle-fed. However, it is important to be aware of the hazards and practices that come with bed-sharing with a newborn bedside cot baby and pick a suitable mattress for your infant.

Some in-bed sleepers have soft surfaces or padding on their edges, which could cause your baby to become entrapped. Be sure to not let your bedside device slide backwards. This could cause an opening through which your baby could crawl or roll.

If you're concerned about the safety of your mother or baby who sleeps next to you, consider attending a LLL meeting. Talk to a Sleep Leader about your child's sleeping habits. They can explain how to create a safe sleeping environment for your baby and help you understand the risks of SIDS. They can also educate you about the'sweet sleep' of nursing mothers, which has many of the same protection factors as breastfeeding.
