Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A bedside crib (also called co-sleeper) lets your baby sleep close to you during the night. However, it's important to adhere to the official safe sleep guidelines from 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. It's also easy to move around due its slim frame.

Safety

Bedside cribs are a great option for families that co-sleep. However, NHS Safe Sleep advice suggests that parents use a separate sleeping surface for their infant and avoid sharing a bed in order to reduce the risk of overheating, suffocation and rollovers.

When you are choosing a crib for your bed it is essential 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 sleeping in a secure and safe environment. Bedside cribs that have adjustable height settings can be matched to the parent's bed frame to decrease the chance of babies becoming trapped in gaps. They also come with a firm, flat mattress that is airy and designed to encourage healthy sleeping habits.

Most bedside cribs have a panel that can be moved, so that you can safely see your baby during the night. This allows you to easily provide comfort, feed and supervise your baby without leaving the bed. This is especially beneficial for new mothers recovering from c-section births or for those with limited mobility. Certain models, such as the SnuzPod4, even offer the ability to tilt your reflux for babies suffering from reflux or digestive issues.

A lowered panel will also reduce the chance of your baby rolling over the edge of the bed. A lot of these panels have mesh sides that prevent pillows and duvets from falling into the crib. This is crucial for reducing the chance of SIDS as babies who roll off their back are more susceptible to suffocation.

Keep soft toys and dummies away from your child as they could pose risky for suffocation. To ensure your baby's safety and secure, make sure that the crib mattress is breathable and you check it regularly for any gaps or loose sheets. Once your baby is able to stand or sit (typically at the age of 6 months), they will need a cot or other sleeping arrangement that is suitable. If you are concerned about this transition, it is worth speaking to your GP or health visitor.

Comfort

The most ideal cribs for use at bedtime provide a secure and comfortable space to sleep your baby. Designed to sit next to your bed, they will allow you to tend to your baby without having to get out of bed. They also allow you to bond with your newborn during the first few months of their life. This sense of security can help establish positive routines at night and enhance the overall quality of your baby's sleep.

You should keep your baby in a crib at night until they are six months old or able to push themselves up and at that point, you should switch to an older cot bedside. Bedside cribs can be used to accommodate your child up to this age, but you should review the guidelines for the crib.

When selecting a bedside crib, make sure that it complies with EN 1130 safety standards and is compatible with your bed (most can be attached to the standard bed frame, however you should always check the exact dimensions). It is crucial that the mattress of your bedside crib is firm, flat and ventilated. This is crucial for the health of your baby.

The Chicco Next2me side sleeper is a popular choice among our mom testers. It features a height adjustable base and can be used as a stand-alone crib or connected to the bed. It is lightweight and easy to set up. It offers excellent value for money. Silvercross Voyager is another of our favourites. Our test subjects love it for its flexibility, breathable mattresses, and the feature of incline reflux.

Space

A bedside crib is a sleep space that clips securely onto 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 with mothers who want to spend time with their infant while remaining safe.

They usually come with an incline panel that you can use to safely feel and see your baby, as well as others that allow you to keep the panel closed at night to allow for the convenience of feeding and monitoring your baby in a relaxed manner. Some models also have an incline feature for reflux which was loved by many of our test subjects for reducing discomfort and aiding digestion for babies with reflux or wind.

A lot of cribs for bedside have adjustable height settings as well, enabling you to position them at the same height as your mattress, which means there's no gap that could let your baby climb or slip out. This is especially useful for those who are recovering from C-sections, as it can be difficult to get in and out of the bed.

The lower sides also provide some privacy, making them ideal for parents who are worried about sharing a room with their newborn. But, it's important to keep in mind that if you decide to sleep with your child in a crib that is near to bed or a the cot, it's still a good practice to follow the official safe sleeping guidance and avoid sharing your bed.

You'll also need to ensure that your bedside crib is compatible with your bed frame prior to purchasing some that clip onto bedsteads while others are better suited to divan beds. Don't forget to get a mattress that is suitable for your new crib, that is typically sold in addition to the crib and must meet the latest BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements.

Some bedside cots for newborns cribs can also be transformed into toddler beds. This is a great option for parents who don't require an additional crib. The SnuzPod4 is one such model, sporting a sleek, slim frame that easily fits into the corner of your bedroom and gives plenty of space for your baby to rest comfortably. It's also easy to put together, and comes with a convenient bag for travel.

Convenience

A crib that is placed near the bed allows you to easily lift your child from bed to feed, cuddle and comfort them back to sleep. Many cribs come with an attached side panel that can be lowered so that you can communicate with your baby without waking them up. Some cribs keep the panel down constantly - this is great for parents who are about to be recovering from a C-section and wish to keep their baby close.

Some cribs come with tilt features that can aid with colic or reflux. It is important to remember that tilting the crib should be done with care and only by a parent who is aware of the medical history of their child and their needs.

Another thing to consider is how easy the crib is to clean, and whether it's machine washable or you have to wash it by hand it. Some cribs have waterproof covers that guard against leaky diapers, infant sickness, and drips. Some cribs also come with a storage bag, making them ideal to travel with if you want to take your baby away with you.

It is also important to think about the weight of the crib be and whether it is easy to move from one room to another. Jasmine, our 2021 Mother & Baby Awards mum tester, described the red Kite Cozysleep alongside crib as "just right size and light enough to easily move around the house." It also can be folded flat and comes with a bag for travel for trips to grandparents."
