How to Choose the Best Bedside Cot uk

Both the NHS and the Lullaby Trust have issued official safe sleeping guidelines, which recommend that newborns sleep only in their own Moses basket or cot. A bedside crib is a practical and space-saving option for parents who live together.

Mumsnetters adore this co sleeper bedside cot-sleeper since it's spacious with lots of room for babies to grow and play, and far more substantial than a Moses basket. It's also simple to assemble, and comes with a bag for carrying.

What is a bedside crib?

A bedside cot (also known as a bassinet, side sleeper or co-sleeper) is a safe way for your newborn to sleep close to you throughout their first few months. These cribs are attached to your bed, allowing you to lift your child in your arms for night-feeding or comforting. These cribs are also ideal for mothers who are breastfeeding or recovering from a Cesarean Section.

They're often slightly smaller than a standard cot, but provide plenty of space for your baby to sleep. You can choose between a variety of styles and features depending on your preferences. Many bedside cribs come with the option of removing or dropping down the side to make it easier to reach the baby during feeding time at night. They also come in different heights depending on your bed size.

Some bedside cribs have a riser which allows you to build an angle to the sleep area. This can help with reflux. They also come with a zip off side to make cleaning easy. Others have manual rocking bedside crib functions which can be a soothing distraction for your infant. You'll need a mattress that is comfortable to be used with your crib. It must be at least 30cm in depth to allow your baby plenty of headroom.

A bedside crib is an investment but you can be sure your newborn will get a peaceful and safe night's sleep. Kate Hudson, Serena Williams, and Gigi Hadid are all big fans of SNOO's bedside crib. It is definitely worth a look as an alternative to a Moses basket.

Safety

The Lullaby Trust, in conjunction with the NHS has issued official safe sleeping guidelines that recommend that newborns are in the same room as their parents for the first six months. However they should not be sleeping in your bed. This is to reduce the risk of suffocation or sudden infant death syndrome. A crib that is placed near your bed is an excellent option that allows your baby to remain close enough to you to feed them during the night and comfort them back to sleep without having to get out of your bed. It is an excellent option if you are recovering from an operation or a C-section and are unable to move.
