Bedside Crib Vs Cot A bedside crib (also called co-sleeper) allows your baby to sleep with you throughout the night. It is important to adhere to the official safe sleeping 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 makes it easy to move from room room. Safety Bedside cribs are an excellent option for families who co-sleep. NHS Safe Sleep advises parents to select a separate area for their child, and avoid sharing a mattress, so as to reduce the risk of suffocation and overheating. When selecting a bedside crib, it is important to ensure that the crib conforms to European safety standards and adheres to Lullaby Trust codes to ensure safe sleep, so that your baby is in a safe and secure environment. Bedside cribs that have adjustable height settings can be fitted to the bed frame of the parent, reducing the risk of gaps that infants might be trapped. The cribs come with a flat, firm mattress that is designed to promote healthy sleep habits. Most bedside cribs feature an adjustable panel that can be adjusted to let you safely monitor your baby during the night. This means that you can comfortably soothe them, feed them and monitor them without having to get out of bed, which can be especially helpful for mothers recovering from c-section births, or those with limited mobility. Some models, like the SnuzPod4, even offer the ability to tilt your reflux for babies suffering from reflux or digestive issues. A lowered crib can reduce the risk of your child slipping off the crib's edge, and many have mesh sides to stop any pillows or duvets that are stray from falling in. This is crucial to reduce the risk of SIDS. Babies who roll on their backs are more prone to suffocate. Keep dummies and soft toys away from your child as they could pose suffocation risks. To ensure that your baby is safe, you should also ensure that the mattress of your crib is airy and regularly check for any gaps or loose sheets. When your baby is able to sit up or stand, usually around 6 months old they will have to move into a cot or other suitable sleeping arrangement. If you're worried about this transition, it is important to speak with your GP or health care professional. Comfort The best bedside cribs offer an ensconced and safe space for your baby to sleep. They are designed to be placed next to your bed, they let you take care of your little one without getting out of bed. They also allow you to bond with your newborn in those precious early months. This sense of security will help establish a positive routine for your night and enhance the quality of sleep for your baby. It is recommended to keep your baby in a crib at night until they are 6 months old or can climb up, at which point you should move them to a traditional crib. Bedside cribs can accommodate your child up to this age, but you must review the guidelines for the crib. When choosing a crib for your bed ensure that it is in line with EN 1130 safety standards and is compatible with your bed (most will attach to the standard bed frame, but it is important to verify the exact dimensions). Also, make sure that the crib has a sturdy and flat mattress that is breathable. This is vital for baby's health. The Chicco Next2me side sleeping crib is a top pick among our mum testers. It features a height-adjustable base and can be used as a standalone crib or attached to a bed. It is light and simple to assemble. It also offers great value for money. Silvercross Voyager is another of our top picks. Our testers appreciate its versatility, comfortable mattresses, and the feature of incline reflux. Space A bedside crib is a sleep space that can be secured to the sides of your bed, allowing you to keep your baby close throughout the night without the danger of co-sleeping (which is not recommended by The Lullaby Trust and NHS). Recent years have seen a rise in their popularity among mums who want to spend time with their infant while remaining safe. Some come with a lowering screen that allows safe viewing and touching of your baby. Others allow you to keep the panel closed at night so that you can feed and monitor your child without hassle. Some have the ability to tilt your baby's stomach, which many of our test mums liked for helping digestion and reducing discomfort for those babies suffering from reflux or wind. Many bedside cribs also have adjustable height settings, which allows you to put them on the exact level as your mattress. This eliminates any gaps that could allow your baby to climb out or slip. This is particularly beneficial for those recovering from C-sections since it can be difficult to climb into and out of the bed. The lowered sides also offer some privacy, making them ideal for parents who are concerned about sharing a space with their infant. However, it's important to remember that if you choose to sleep with your child in a crib that is near to bed or a cot, it's still best to follow the official safe sleeping guidance and avoid sharing your bed. It is also important to make sure your bedside crib is compatible with your own bed frame prior to buying it some that clip onto bedsteads while others are more suitable for divan beds. Don't forget to buy an appropriate mattress for your crib. They are typically sold separately from the crib, and must meet the latest BS EN1130:2019 safety standards. Some bedside cribs also convert into toddler beds, which can increase longevity for parents who do not want to purchase an additional crib for their child who is older. The SnuzPod4 is an model, featuring an elegant, slim frame that easily fits into the corner of your bedroom and gives plenty of space for your baby to sleep comfortably. It is also easy to put together, and comes with a convenient bag for traveling. Convenience A bedside crib makes it easy to lift your child from bed to feed, cuddle and comfort them to sleep. Many cribs have a side panel that can be lowered down, allowing you to contact and talk to your little one without having to wake them completely or disrupt their sleep. Some cribs keep the side panel open all the time. This is ideal for parents who have had C-sections who wish to keep their baby close. Some cribs have tilting features that may aid in colic or reflux. It's important to note that tilting the crib should always be done with caution and only by a person who knows the medical history of their child and requirements. Consider how easy wooden bedside cot is to clean your crib and if you are able to machine wash it or if you will need to wash it manually. Some cribs come with waterproof covers to guard against leaky diapers, baby sickness and drips. Some cribs have a storage bag that makes them ideal for taking on trips if you have to take your baby along. Finally, it's worth considering how heavy the crib is and is it easy to move from room room. Our 2021 Mother & Baby awards mum tester Jasmine has described the Red Kite Cozysleep next to the crib as “just the right size and lightweight enough to be able to move around your home. It folds flat and comes with a carry-on bag for trips to the grandparents.” If you're thinking of purchasing a crib for your bed we suggest you read our complete reviews and ratings of the best cribs available, to ensure you purchase the best model for your baby and life style. Remember that a crib may appear beautiful and elegant, but your baby will soon outgrow it. Therefore, you'll need to move your baby into a cot bed before they start to grow out of it.
