Newborn Bedside Cot

A crib for newborns is a tiny sleeper that lets babies sleep in the same room with their parents without the dangers of co-sleeping. (The AAP warns against this because of the risk of SIDS and suffocation.) It also makes middle-of-the-night nursing sessions and care much simpler.

This sleeper features a firm mattress to support babies' backs and reduce the chance of SIDS. It can be swiveled on your adult bed so that you can raise your baby to snuggle them at sunrise or for late night nursing.

Budget

A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or co-sleeper, is a bassinet style crib that can be attached to your existing bed. This allows you to reach your baby comfortably and safely for a nighttime feed or cuddles. They are a great option for mums or new parents recovering from a csection as they offer the baby with easy access and do not require you to get out of bed.

There are many different designs available that range from basic models with just a drop-down option to more sophisticated ones that can be adjusted in a variety of ways with incline and height options. The majority of them can be converted into an independent crib for naps during the day or when your baby is around a few months old and sleeping longer at night.

Maxi-Cosi Lora is one our favorites. It was shortlisted in the Best Cot category for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards. MFM home tester Emily commented how stylish and modern the design was. She also liked the fact that it can be used as a bassinet, or a clip to your bed for a safe side-by-side sleep. She also liked its plush mattress, which has passed our tests for firmness and also that it comes with an adjustable manual inclining feature for those suffering from reflux.

However, she wasn't a fan of the fact that it had a non-mesh panel at its bottom and felt it was a bit bulky to move from room to room regularly. It also felt a little heavy to carry up and down the stairs once folded into a bag for travel.

Size

A bedside crib with changing table cot is essentially an upholstered bassinet that is fixed to the side of your bed. You can easily reach your baby's side to feed them, change nappies or just to soothe them during the night. It's ideal for mothers who are recovering from the c-section.

It is crucial that your infant sleeps on a firm bed as this is safer than a soft one. Babies don't have motor control to rotate and a mattress that is soft could increase the chance of being suffocated. The mattress is made of skin-friendly and breathable materials. It's comfortable for your baby, yet firm enough to be safe.

Mum home tester Jasmin loved that the crib doesn't take up too much space in her bedroom and she found the size perfect for a baby. She said the mattress was excellent quality, in contrast to those that feel cheap and thin. She also loves the fact that it has a storage area underneath for clothes and bedding which other bassinets don't have.

MFM mom home tester Mehack is a fan of the side wall that is removable that allows you to drop it to make it easier access to your infant. She also appreciates that legs can be placed under the bed to look less bulky and take up less space on the floor. She is also impressed by how it was simple to move around the house when she needed to for checks and feedings in the middle of the night.

A winner of an Gold award at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards and the CoZee Air is a popular choice for parents. It is designed with four built-in pulleys to raise or lower the crib. It includes a large bedside crib storage basket for your baby's toys, blankets and other essentials. It's also simple to put together and light in weight and portable, which is ideal to travel with your baby.

Safety

It is important to think about the safety of the crib for your newborn. The official safety sleep guidelines of both the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that babies not sleep in their parents' beds due to the dangers of overheating, suffocation and a higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bassinets for bedside use allow parents to keep their infants close, facilitating night time feedings as well as monitoring without needing to get up.

This close proximity also supports breastfeeding mothers as they can attend to the needs of their infant without waking up completely, which can help to maintain milk supply and support the breastfeeding experience. Some cots for bedside use adjustable height features that can help both the mother and baby to get into the bassinet for feedings or other activities throughout the night.

A lot of bassinets have mattresses that are firm, which is designed to minimize the risk of suffocation and is in line with the standards of the industry. This is important because a newborn's bones are soft and not fully developed, and require support to prevent injury. The mattress should be covered in a fitted cover to decrease the chance of suffocation caused by dust mites or other allergens. It should also be kept clean and free of allergens.

Some bedside cot wooden cribs can be tilted. This is beneficial for babies with reflux or digestive problems. But, it should be done with care and with care. It is also essential to avoid adding pillows, duvets or padded crib bumpers to the bassinet, as these can pose an obstructing risk to your baby. They should only be used when the cot is placed on an even surface.

It's also worth thinking about a bassinet with an attached system that is secure and can be easily fixed to your existing bed without the need for tools. This is especially beneficial for parents who struggle to lift their child in and out of the cot, or concerned about the possibility of rolling over during sleep. If your bassinet is equipped with a secure attachment, it is a good idea to regularly check it. Make sure there are no gaps, and that the system is securely attached.

Comfort

Thankfully, there's an innovative sleep solution that lets you keep your baby close to you throughout the night - without any of the risks associated with sharing beds.

It is also a great choice for mothers recovering from a C section as it will not require you to stand or bend over.

A modern bedside crib to cot cot for newborns should have a sturdy, flat mattress to help ensure a safe sleep and lower the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The bedding should be simple, with just a cot sheet and a blanket tightly tucked at the bottom. Avoid toys, bumpers and pillows since they can be thrown over your baby and create a suffocation hazard. If your baby is used to being swaddled during a few weeks then you can use the swaddle or baby sleep bag. However, this should be removed once they are strong enough to take them off.

Some bedside sleeper cot cribs feature an adjustable or drop-down side that provides easy access to your baby for feeding and comfort during the middle of the night. This feature is perfect for parents who want to keep a close relationship with their child, while adhering to NHS guidelines for sleep. If you're planning to sleep in the same bed as your baby it's important to recognize that this practice has been linked to an increased risk of SIDS particularly in the event that a parent is able to roll onto their infant during sleep.

A fabric that breathes will keep your baby comfy and cool throughout the night.
