Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A foldable bedside crib crib (also known as a co-sleeper) allows your baby to sleep close to you during the night. But, it's crucial to follow the official safe sleeping guidelines from the NHS and Lullaby Trust.

Our mum testers love the SnuzPod's breastfeeding-friendly drop side, 30-second open and fold mechanism and reflux incline function. It's also easy to move around due to its slim frame.

Safety

Many new mums are looking for the comfort of their child while they sleep, and cribs that are placed near the bed can be a safe option for families who are embracing co-sleeping. NHS Safe Sleep advises parents to use a separate surface for their child and to avoid sharing a mattress so as to reduce the risk of suffocation as well as overheating.

When choosing a crib for your bed, it is important to check that the product meets European safety standards and adheres to Lullaby Trust codes for safe sleep, to ensure your baby is sleeping in a safe and secure environment. Bedside cribs that have adjustable height settings can be matched to the bed frame of the parent to minimize the chance of babies becoming trapped in gaps. The cribs have a firm, flat mattress that is designed to promote healthy sleeping habits.

The majority of cribs with a bedside feature an adjustable panel that can be raised to let you safely monitor your baby during the night. This lets you easily soothe, feed, and monitor your child without having to leave bed. This is especially helpful for mothers who are recovering from c section births or those who have mobility issues. Some models, like the SnuzPod4, even offer a reflux incline function for babies who have reflux or digestive issues.

A lower panel can lower the chance of your baby rolling off the crib's edge Many have mesh sides to prevent the stray pillows or duvets from falling in. This is crucial for reducing the chance of SIDS as babies who roll off their back are more at risk of dying from suffocation.

It is advised to keep any dummy or soft toys away from the crib, as these can also be a danger to your child's health if they are suffocated. A breathable crib mattress and regular inspections for gaps or loose bedding are crucial to keep your baby secure. Once your baby is able to stand or sit (typically at the age of 6 months), they will need a cot, or another sleeping arrangement that is suitable. If you have any questions about this transition, speak to your GP or a health visitor.

Comfort

The best cribs for bedside offer an ensconced and safe space for your baby to rest. They are designed to be placed next to your bed so that you can take care of your baby without leaving your bed. This gives you the chance to bond with your baby in the early years. This feeling of safety can help establish positive routines for your night and improve the overall quality of your baby's sleep.

It is recommended to keep your child in a crib beside the bed until they reach 6 months or can stand up by themselves. At the age of 6 months, you can change them to a traditional cot. The bedside crib will usually be able to accommodate your child until they reach this age, but it is important to check the specific specifications of the product.

When you are choosing a rocking bedside crib cot make sure it is in compliance with EN 1130 safety standards. It must also be compatible with your existing bed (most clip onto standard bed frames, but you should always double check the exact dimensions). Also, make sure that the crib has a sturdy and flat mattress that is breathable. This is essential for the health of your baby.

The Chicco Next2me side sleeper is a favorite among our mum testers. It has a height-adjustable base that can be used as a stand-alone crib or attached to the bed. This crib is lightweight and easy to assemble. It also offers great value for the money. One of our top picks is the Silvercross Voyager, which our testers love for its versatility, breathable mattress and the reflux incline function.

Space

A bedside crib is a device that attaches to the bed's side. This allows you to keep your child close all night long without the risk of co-sleeping, which is not recommended by the NHS or the Lullaby Trust. Recent years have seen an increase in their popularity with mothers who want to bond with their infant while being secure.

Some feature a lowering panel that you can use for secure viewing and touching of your baby. Some allow you to keep the panel in place at night so that you can feed and monitor your child with no fuss. Some come with an incline function for reflux too, which most of our test mothers liked for helping digestion and alleviating discomfort for those children suffering from reflux or wind.

A lot of cribs for bedside have adjustable height settings that allow you to set them at the same level as your mattress, so there's no gap between the two that could let your baby climb or slip out. This is particularly beneficial for those recovering after C-sections as it can be difficult to get into and out of bed.

The lower sides also provide some privacy, making them ideal for parents who are worried about sharing a room with their newborn. However, it's important to keep in mind that if you choose to sleep with your baby in a crib that is near to bed or a crib, it is still a good to follow the official guidelines for safe sleep and avoid sharing your bed.

It is also important to ensure that the bedside crib is compatible with your existing bed frame prior to buying it some that clip onto bedsteads while others are more suitable for divan beds. Also, don't forget that you'll require a suitable mattress for your new crib which is usually sold separately to the crib and must comply with the latest BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements.

Some cribs that are bedside co sleeper cot can be converted into toddler beds, which can add the longevity of parents who do not want to purchase a separate crib for their older child. The SnuzPod4 is an example, with an elegant, slim frame that easily fits into the corner of your bedroom, and provides plenty of space for your little one to sleep comfortably. It's also simple to put together and comes with a handy travel bag.

Convenience

One of the best things about a crib for bed is that it's easy to get your baby in and out of bed for feeds, cuddles and soothing back to sleep. A majority of cribs have a side panel that can be adjusted to allow you to talk and touch your baby without waking them up. There are cribs that keep the panel lowered all the time which is ideal for new parents who may be recovering from a C-section and wish to keep their baby close.

Some cribs have tilting features that may aid with colic or reflux. It is important to keep in mind that the tilting of the crib should only be done by parents who know their baby's medical needs and history.

Another thing to think about is how easy the crib is to clean, and if it can be washed by machine or you have to hand wash it manually. Some cribs have waterproof covers that protect against leaky nappies, baby sick and dribbles. And some have a handy storage bag, making them perfect for travelling if you need to bring your baby along with you.

Also, you should consider how heavy the crib is and whether it's easy to move from room to room. Jasmine, our 2021 Mother & Baby Awards mum tester, described the Red Kite Cozysleep with the crib as "just right size and light enough to be able to move around the house." It folds flat and comes with a carry-on bag for trips to grandparents."

We recommend you look through our reviews and ratings to make sure you choose the right model for your baby. Be aware that a crib might appear beautiful and elegant but your baby will quickly outgrow it. You'll need to move your baby to a cot before they move out of the crib.
