Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus Bedside sleepers allow you to keep your baby in the same room as you are without the risk of sharing a bed, which is associated with a higher chance of suffocation. They are also a great choice for newborns. Look for models with an adjustable height that allows for a perfect fit on most bed frames. Also, look for breathable fabrics that are easy to clean. Safety A bedside cot is described as a bassinet which is connected to the side of a bed for safe sleeping. It can be used to raise your baby towards you at night to feed, soothing or comforting and it's also a great choice if you have the need for a c-section. It's different from a Moses basket or cot because it has high sides, so your baby isn't able to be pushed out. Some models come with a tilt feature that can aid babies suffering from colic and reflux. They are also a bit larger than Moses baskets which makes them easier to move from room room. The NHS and safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust advise that newborns should be kept in their own bassinet or cot in the same room with their parents but not in your bed. This is due to bed sharing increasing the chance of suffocation and overheating. Bedside cribs provide the best of both worlds, permitting your child to sleep close to you throughout the night, but in their own secure and private sleeping space. Make sure that the crib is in compliance with the most recent safety standards. It should be BS EN1130:2019. Also, ensure that there aren't any gaps or areas where your baby could get trapped. Also make sure you choose a mattress that is firm and flat. A sagging or overly soft mattress could increase the risk of SIDS, so go for a brand new mattress, instead of second-hand. Finally, you should look for bedding that is fitted and free of any loose blankets or pillows. Duvets and pillows could suffocate your baby, and pillows can get stuck to their face. Use a fitted sheet but ensure that it fits properly. The SnuzPod4 was highly rated by our MFM mom testers as a crib suitable for use in bed.
