Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus Bedside sleepers let you have your baby in the same room as you without the risk of sharing a bed. They're a great choice for infants. Models with adjustable height settings will fit perfectly on all bed frames. Choose fabrics that are easy-to-clean and breathable. Safety A bedside cot can be described as a bassinet that is connected to the bed's side for safe sleeping. It can be used to lift your baby to you for comfort, feeding or soothing at the end of the night. It's also an excellent alternative if you've had a c section. It's different from a Moses basket or cot as it has high sides, so your baby can't fall out. Some models come with tilt features that can help babies with colic or reflux. They are also slightly bigger than Moses baskets, which may make them easier to carry from room to room. The NHS and The Lullaby Trust, a safe sleep charity, recommend that infants be placed in a bassinet or cot in the same room as their parents. They should not be in your bed. This is because sharing a bed increases the risk of suffocation as well as overheating. Bedside cribs give you the best of both worlds, allowing your baby to be close to you throughout the night, but still in their own private and secure sleeping space. Make sure that the crib is in compliance with the latest safety standards. It must be BS EN1130:2019. Also, make sure that there are no gaps or places where your child could become trapped. Find a mattress with a firm, flat surface. A mattress that is sagging or that is too soft could increase the risk of SIDS for your child. Look for bedding that is well-fitted and free of pillows or blankets that are sloppy. Pillows are a suffocation risk and duvets can be a hazard to the baby's face. Use a fitted sheet but make sure that it fits properly. Our MFM mum testers have found that the SnuzPod4 is a great choice for a bedside crib, selected for 2021's Mother&Baby Awards in the best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category. It is secured to the bed and is adjustable to ensure the perfect fit. It has a rocking feature and can be adjusted to an inclined angle for reflux. It is a great choice for those who have narrow or small beds as it doesn't take up the entire space. Design It is essential to think about the design of your bedside crib since this is the area where your baby will spend the majority of their time. Many cribs come in a variety of colors to match your decor and include features such as mesh windows that keep baby in view, or drop-down sides that allow for easier access. Some even have incline functions to ease reflux. bedside cosleeper can raise and lower the majority of cribs to your bed's height, making it easier to get into and out of bed.

Home tester and MFM mum Leya discovered that the SnuzPod 4's sleek, Scandi style complements her bedroom decor and added that its compact fold was ideal to save space. She also loved that the crib's one side can be lowered so that she can pick up her sleeping baby without having to leave her bed. This is especially helpful for those who have had a C-section or are recovering from a Caesarean, as it means you can sleep near your newborn for longer. Jasmine is another mum who enjoyed using the SnuzPod 4. She noted that it was simple for her to move the crib from one room to another and back again – something she didn't find with other bedside cribs. However, she noted that it required some effort to lift and lower the crib, since the handle was stiff. Another crib for bedside that is easy to fold and move is the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which was shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards to be the The Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. Its slim frame and neutral colour options will work well in all bedrooms, though some of our home testers felt the bars were too close, which means they could catch on clothes or toys for babies. The distance between bars should not exceed 6.5cm (2.5 inches) to ensure that your baby's head doesn't get caught in.

If you want something simpler, she recommends Shnuggle Air in addition to Crib.
