Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A bedside cot mattress crib, also referred to as a cosleeper, allows your baby to sleep with you at night. It is important to adhere to the official safe sleep guidance 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. Additionally, its slim frame means it's easy to move from room room.

Safety

Many new mums want the closeness of their baby whilst they sleep, and cribs that are placed near the bed can be a safe option for families embracing co-sleeping. However, NHS Safe Sleep advice suggests that parents use a separate sleeping surface for their infant and avoid sharing a bed in order to minimize the risk of suffocation, overheating and rollovers.

When selecting a bedside travel crib crib it is crucial to check that the product meets 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 with adjustable height settings can be matched to the bed frame of the parent, reducing the risk of gaps where babies may be trapped. They also come with a sturdy, flat mattress that is airy and designed to encourage healthy sleeping habits.

The majority of cribs with a rocking bedside crib panel that can be lowered, so that you can be able to see your baby in the night. This lets you easily soothe, feed, and supervise your child without leaving the bed. This is particularly beneficial for mothers who have just recovered from c section births or those who have limited mobility. Certain models, such as the SnuzPod4, offer a reflux incline function 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. Many of these panels have mesh sides to prevent duvets and pillows from falling into the crib. This is important to reduce the risk of SIDS. Babies who roll off their backs are more prone to suffocate.

It is recommended to keep any dummy or soft toys away from the crib as well, as these can also be suffocation hazards. A mattress that is breathable for the crib and regular checks for gaps or loose bedding are also essential to ensure your baby is safe. When your baby can sit up or stand, generally around 6 months old they'll need to transition to a cot or other suitable sleeping arrangement. If you are concerned about this transition, it's worthwhile to talk to your GP or health visitor.

Comfort

The best cribs for beds provide a safe and comfortable space for your baby to sleep. Designed to sit next to your bed, they will allow you to take care of your infant without getting out of bed and will also allow you to bond with your newborn in those precious early months. This feeling of security will help you establish a positive nighttime routine and enhance the quality of sleep for your baby.

You should keep your baby in a crib at night until they reach 6 months old or can get up and at that point, you can move to a traditional crib. Bedside cribs can accommodate your child up to this age, but it is important to check the product guidelines.

When choosing a crib for your bed be sure it adheres to EN 1130 safety standards and is compatible with your bed (most can be attached to a standard bed frame but you must always verify the exact dimensions). It is important that the mattress of your crib is firm, flat and breathable. This is essential for the health of your baby.

Our mum testers who are experts have been talking about the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib, which has a height-adjustable base and can be used as a stand-alone crib or attached to your bed. It is light and simple to assemble. It also provides great value for the money. Another of our favourites is the Silvercross Voyager, which our testers love for its versatility, air-tight mattress, and reflux incline feature.

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 having to worry about the risk of co-sleeping (which is not recommended by the Lullaby Trust and NHS). Recent years have seen a rise in popularity among mothers who want to spend time with their child while being secure.

They usually come with a lowering panel, which allows you to feel and see your baby, as well as some that let you keep the panel closed at night to allow for the convenience of feeding your baby without fuss and monitoring. Some models also have a reflux incline feature, which was loved by many of our testers to ease discomfort and aid in digestion for babies suffering from reflux or wind.

A lot of cribs for bedside have adjustable height settings too that allow you to set them at the same height as your mattress, which means there's no gap between the two that could let your baby climb or slip out. This is especially useful for those recovering after C-sections, as it can be difficult for them to climb into and out of the bed.

The lower sides offer privacy and are ideal for parents who are worried about sharing their bedroom with a baby. It's important to note that if you opt to sleep with your child in a crib by the bedside or cot, it's still best practice to adhere to the official guidelines for safe sleep and not share your bed.

Before buying the crib, make sure that your bedside crib will fit your bed frame. Some cribs can be clipped onto bedsteads, while others are better suited to divan beds. Also, don't forget that you'll require an appropriate mattress for your new crib, which is usually sold separately to the crib itself and should comply with the latest BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements.

Some bedside cribs also convert into toddler beds, which can increase longevity for parents who do not want to purchase a separate cot for their older child. The SnuzPod4 is one such example, with a sleek, slim frame that can be easily tucked into the corner of your bedroom, and provides plenty of room for your child to rest comfortably. It's also easy to assemble and comes with a handy travel bag.

Convenience

A crib that is placed near the bed makes it easy to get your child from bed to feed, cuddle and soothe them to sleep. Many cribs have an upper panel that slides down, allowing you to be able to touch and talk with your child without having to wake them completely or disturb their sleep. There are cribs that keep the panel in place throughout the day This is great for new parents who may be recovering from a C-section and want to keep their baby close.

Some cribs come with tilt features that can aid with colic or reflux. It is important to note that tilting the crib should only be done by parents who know their baby's medical needs and history.

Another feature to think about is how easy it is to clean, and whether it's machine washable or you have to hand wash it manually. Some cribs come with waterproof covers to protect against leaky nappies, baby sick and dribbles. Some cribs are equipped with a storage bag that makes them ideal for travel when you need to bring your baby along.

Also, you should consider how heavy the crib is and whether it's easy to move from room to room. Our 2021 Mother & Baby awards mum tester Jasmine described the Red Kite Cozysleep next to the 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 for trips to visit grandparents.

We recommend you read our reviews and ratings to ensure you pick the best crib for your baby and you. Be aware that even though the crib may look beautiful and sophisticated, it's important to remember that your baby will soon outgrow its small size. Therefore, you'll need to move your baby into a cot bed before they start to grow out of it.
