bedside crib with changing table Sleeper Cot

A bedside sleeper cot (also known as bassinet) is attached to the bed's side to ensure that your baby can be close enough for feeding at night, but is safe in their own bed. Our mothers love that they are easy to reach and can also swivel or lower the sides to get closer.

Safety

The bedside sleeper allows parents to monitor, soothe and feed their babies at night without worrying about the risks of sharing a bed. This could lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The cots adhere to NHS guidelines for co-sleeping, and are recommended by childcare experts, such as Dr. McKenna director of Mother-baby bedside cot Behavioural Sleep Laboratory.

They also provide instant breastfeeding support and help babies feel more secure by keeping them close to their parents, creating healthy attachments that aid in the development of milestones. Parents should look for bassinets that are simple to clean, safe to use, and are certified by a trusted organization like JPMA.

In 2023, ASTM updated its version of the bedside sleeping voluntary standard F2906 in response to newer products that convert a bassinet into the bedside sleeper by lowering one side rail next to an adult bed, allowing some areas of the lower part to be at an elevated level above the mattress, which presents an increased risk of entrapment. The CPSC direct final rule incorporates this 2023 revision based on the mandatory standards in place in section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008(CPSIA) for sturdy baby or toddler products that have been used for longer than 180 days. It is expected to lower the chance of injury.

Remember that the bassinet or bedside sleeper should not be used in conjunction with blankets, pillows, or other bedding. This could pose a suffocation risk as many young babies cannot lift their heads enough to remove them from soft objects and a reclining position can cause the head to tip forward blocking their airway. Always put your baby on their back in a crib, bassinet or play yard or bedside cot bed sleeper. Be sure to use a fitted sheet that meets federal requirements.

Look for a model with a manual rocking function that's gentle on your baby and will help settle them to sleep. Some models also come with tilt options, which can be helpful for infants suffering from reflux or colic but should only be used with the supervision of your doctor or health visitor.

Some bassinets come with a mattress however, others require you to purchase one separately. Purchase a mattress that is designed to be a perfect fit for the bedside sleeper. Second-hand mattresses can be too soft, and may pose a SIDS risk. It is also necessary to purchase a comfortable fitted sheet and muslin blanket to your baby.
