How to Choose the Best Bedside Cot uk

Both the NHS and Lullaby Trust have issued official safe sleeping guidelines, which recommend that newborns sleep only in their own Moses basket or cot. A crib that is placed near the bed can be a space-saving and practical option for parents who share a room.

Mumsnetters love the co-sleeper as it's big and has plenty of room for baby's to grow and wiggle. It is also much larger than the Moses Basket. It's also easy to put together and comes with a carry bag.

What is a bedside cot?

A bedside cot (also known as a side sleeper, bassinet or co-sleeper) is a safe way for your baby to rest close to you overnight during their first months. These cribs attach to your bed and let you bring your baby closer to you at night for feeding or comforting without the threat of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome as a result of traditional bed sharing. They're also a great option for breastfeeding mothers or mothers recovering from a caesarean.

They're usually a little smaller than a regular cot, but they provide ample space for your baby to sleep. You can choose from a wide range of styles and features, according to what you prefer. Many bedside cribs come with the option of removing or dropping down the side to make it easier to reach your baby during the night to feed them. They are also available in different heights, based on the size of your bed.

Some bedside cribs have an adjustable riser that allows you to create an angle to the sleep area. This can help with reflux. They also have the option of a zip-off side for easy cleaning. Other cribs have manual rocking functions that can provide a relaxing distraction for your baby. You'll also need a breathable mattress to match your new crib, which must be at least 30cm in depth to ensure that your newborn has sufficient head room.

You can rest assured that your child will be comfortable and safe in a bedside cot. Kate Hudson, Serena Williams, and Gigi Hadid are all big fans of SNOO's crib for babies. It is definitely worth considering as an alternative to the Moses basket.
