Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A large bedside cot crib (also known as co-sleeper) lets your baby sleep with you throughout the night. It's important that you adhere to the official safe sleep guidelines of 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. Additionally, its slim frame means it's easy to move from room to room.

Safety

Many new mothers desire the intimacy of their baby whilst 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 choose a separate bed for their baby, and avoid sharing a mattress so as to reduce the risk of suffocation as well as overheating.

When selecting a bedside crib, it is important to ensure that the crib conforms to European safety standards and conforms to Lullaby Trust codes to ensure safe sleep, to ensure your child is sleeping in a secure and safe environment. bedside travel cot cribs with adjustable height settings can be set to match to the parent's bed frame and reduce the risk of gaps that infants might be trapped. They also come with a sturdy flat mattress that is breathable and designed to promote healthy sleeping habits.

Most bedside cribs feature the option of a panel that can be lowered so that you can safely monitor your baby during the night. This means you can comfortably soothe them, feed them and monitor them without having to get out of bed, which is particularly beneficial for mothers who are recovering from c-section births, or those with limited mobility. Some models, like the SnuzPod4, also have the ability to tilt your reflux for babies who have reflux or digestive issues.

A lowered crib can reduce the risks of your child slipping off the edge of the crib, and many have mesh sides to prevent any pillows or duvets that are stray from falling in. This is crucial for reducing the risks of SIDS. Babies who roll off their backs are more likely to suffocate.

It is advised to keep any soft or dummy toys out of the crib, as these can also be a danger to your child's health if they are suffocated. A mattress that is breathable for the crib and regular checks for gaps or loose bedding are also crucial to keep your baby secure. Once your baby can sit up or stand, generally at the age of 6 months, they will need to move into an cot or another suitable sleeping arrangement. If you are concerned about this transition, speak to your GP or a health professional.

Comfort

The most suitable cribs for bedside use offer a safe and comfortable environment for your baby to sleep. They are designed to rest next to your bed so that you can look after your child without leaving your bed. This gives you the chance to connect with your baby during those early months. This feeling of safety can help to establish positive routines for your night and enhance the overall quality of your baby's sleep.

You should keep your child in a crib next to the bed until they reach 6 months or they are able to stand independently. At this point, it is time to switch to an older cot. The bedside co sleeper crib is likely to be capable of accommodating your child until they reach this age, but it is crucial to review the specific product guidelines.

When selecting a bedside crib, ensure that it meets EN 1130 safety standards. It must be able to work with your bed (most are attached to traditional bed frames, however it is important to double-check the exact dimensions). It is essential that the mattress of your bedside crib is flat, firm and ventilated. This is crucial for the health of your baby.

Our expert mum testers have been raving about the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib, which is height-adjustable and can be used as a separate crib or attached to your bed. The crib is light and simple to assemble. It also offers excellent value for the money. Silvercross Voyager is another of our favourites. Our testers are awestruck by its flexibility, breathable mattresses and reflux incline feature.

Space

A bedside crib is a sleeping space that can be secured to the sides of your bed which allows you to keep your baby close during the night without having to worry about the risk of co-sleeping (which is not recommended by The Lullaby Trust and NHS). Recent times have seen an increase in their popularity with mothers who want to spend time with their infant while remaining safe.

They usually come with the lowering panel, which allows you to feel and see your baby, and some that allow you to keep the panel down at night to allow for the convenience of feeding and monitoring your baby in a relaxed manner. Some come with a reflux incline function too which many of our test mums appreciated for aiding digestion and alleviating discomfort for children who are suffering from reflux or wind.

Many bedside cribs also have adjustable height settings, allowing you to place them on the exact level as your mattress. This eliminates any gap that could allow the baby to slide out or climb. This is especially useful for those recovering after C-sections as it can be difficult for them to get in and out of bed.

The lowered sides also offer some privacy, which makes them perfect for new parents who are concerned about sharing a space with their newborn. However, it's important to note that if you choose to sleep with your baby bedside crib in a bedside crib or cot, it's still best practice to follow the official guidelines for safe sleep and avoid sharing your bed.

You'll also need to ensure that the bedside crib is compatible with your existing bed frame prior to buying it - some bedsteads clip onto bed frames while others are more suitable for divan beds. And don't forget you'll need an appropriate mattress for your new crib, that is typically sold in addition to the crib itself and should be in line with the most recent BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements.

Some cribs on the bed can be converted into toddler beds. This is a great solution for parents who don't want to purchase an additional crib. SnuzPod4 has a sleek frame that fits into the corner of any bedroom and provides ample space for your child to rest comfortably. It's also easy to put together and comes with a convenient travel bag.

Convenience

One of the great things about a crib for bed is that it's easy to get your baby in and out of bed for nighttime cuddles, feeds, and calming to sleep. Many cribs come with a side panel which can be adjusted to allow you to talk and touch your baby without waking them up. Some cribs have the side panel down all the time. This is great for parents recovering from C-sections who want to keep their child close.

Some cribs come with a tilt feature that can aid in colic or reflux. It is important to remember that tilting the crib should only be done by parents who are aware of their baby's medical needs and history.

Take note of how easy it is to clean the crib, and if you are able to machine wash it or need to wash it manually. Some cribs are equipped with waterproof covers that protect against leaky diapers, infant sickness and dribbles. Some cribs have an organizer bag, which makes them ideal for travel if you have to take your baby along.

It is also important to think about the weight of the crib be and whether it is easy to move it from one room to the next. Our 2021 Mother & Baby awards mum tester Jasmine said that the Red Kite Cozysleep beside crib as "just the right size and lightweight enough to be able to move around the house. It folds flat and comes with a bag to take on trips to grandparents.

We recommend that you read our reviews and ratings to ensure that you select the right crib for your baby and you. Be aware that a crib might appear elegant and stylish but your child will quickly outgrow it. Therefore, you'll need to transfer your baby into a cot bed before they start to grow out of it.
