Bedside Cot Bed

A bedside crib (also called a bassinet or a side sleeper) is attached to the parent's bed to ensure secure co-sleeping. You can easily reach your child at night for feedings and comforting without disrupting your sleep.

It is essential to make sure that the crib is anchored securely and that it's regularly checked for any gaps that could be a suffocation hazard. Some cribs can be converted into cots for the growing baby with conversion kits.

Safety

A bedside cot bed is similar to a bassinet for babies, but it attaches to your mattress instead of sitting on the floor. Parents who want to have their newborn close to them for feeding, comforting and even for changing diapers at night appreciate these cot beds. They're also a key component of safe cosleeping (also called rooming-in) and can reduce the risk of SIDS.

If you decide to go with a sliding bed or a 4-in-1 bedside sleeper, you'll need a compatible cot mattress that fits in the bed snugly. It should not sag or bulge, or be sagging. It must also be in compliance with the safety standards, including those of the Lullaby Trust. If you're buying a secondhand cot mattress, check that it's clean and free from cracks or tears and isn't brimming with threads that your child could get caught in.

The close proximity of a bedside crib allows mothers to quickly respond to their infants needs throughout the night, including feeding them with bottles or breastfeeding, and helping them to maintain their milk supply. They can also feed their infants without having to wake up or leave their bed, promoting healthy sleeping habits for both infants and parents.

Most bedside cot beds are fitted with a mesh that's securely connected to the sides of the cot to minimize the chance of a baby getting caught or trapped in the gaps. It is essential to check the mesh for any tears or loose threads that could entangle or catch clothing of a baby and ensure there aren't any other hazards like protruding handles or bars, which could encourage your baby to get out of the bed. Likewise, look for any parts made of plastic that could be hot to the touch and beware of sharp edges or splinters.

Convenience

A bedside cot lets you keep your baby close so you can respond to their needs throughout the night, without having to get out of your own bed. This closeness makes it easier to feed or change your baby once they awake. It can also be helpful in establishing a breastfeeding connection.

This kind of infant sleep solution is also known as a sidecar sleeper, or bedside bassinet, and it's a method of safe co-sleeping that reduces the risks associated with sudden death syndrome (SIDS). It allows babies to rest close to their parents, which can help mothers establish a breastfeeding bond and also get more rest during the first few months following birth.

Most models have an adjustable or drop-down side that allows you to lift the baby out of the crib without having to leave your bed, making it easier to attend to their needs during the night. Some even come with the option of manual rocking, which can be particularly helpful for resettling babies who have reflux. A lot of these cribs are smaller than moses or a standard cot basket, which makes them lighter and take up less room.

Some beds have a storage area underneath, which is great for stashing blankets and nappies. This is a great place to store toys, baby accessories and other items. Some are convertible, which means they can be transformed from a side-sleeper, to a full-sized bed or toddler bed once your child gets older.

Home tester and MFM mum Jasmine describes the MoMi Smart BED as "a great option for your baby," saying it's not too bulky or large and won't take up too much space in the bedroom. She also liked the fact that you can alter the height of it according to your baby's age.

Styles

Bedside cots, which are bassinets that are stylish, can be attached to your bed. They allow you to lower the side of your crib so that it's close enough to you at night to feed or soothing. These cots are also great for mothers who are recovering from a c-section because they don't require you to stand up to reach your child. Look for cot beds that are compatible with the frame of your choice and securely attach to the parent's mattress. Some models have a removable 4th wall which can be removed when not in use to keep your child secure.

Budget

When you are looking to purchase a bedside crib or cot baby crib, it is important to consider your budget. They are more expensive than a moses's basket or cot, however they can be found at a price that fits all budgets. You'll need a crib mattress that's safe for babies and an airy and soft set of bedding. You can purchase these online and can also add on accessories like a teether, blanket, or a cuddly toy, as a complete set.

If you're looking for an alternative to a bedside cot bed it is possible to think about a sliding crib or a 4-in-1 bedside sleeper. They're similar to a cot, but you can slide them into place beside your own bed with no gaps between and they can also be converted into a regular bed when your child is old enough to use them. They are also ideal for those who have a small space. They come with features such as tilt or drop-down sides to allow you to easily access your baby. The only drawback to these is that they're only able to last up to six months. You'll need to put your baby into the moses-shell or cot following this period.
