Bedside Crib Vs Cot

A bedside crib travel crib (also called a co-sleeper) allows your baby to sleep with you throughout the night. But, it's crucial to follow official safe sleeping 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 simple to move around due its slim frame.

Safety

large bedside cot cribs are a great option for families that co-sleep. NHS Safe Sleep advises parents to choose a separate bed for their baby and to avoid sharing a mattress so as to reduce the risk of suffocation and overheating.

It is essential to ensure that when you select the crib for your child, you examine it to make sure it meets European safety standards. Also, make sure that the crib adheres to Lullaby trust codes of safe sleep to make sure that he is sleeping in an environment where he is secure and safe. Bedside cribs that have adjustable height settings can be matched to the parent's bed frame, reducing the risk of gaps that infants could become trapped. They also come with a firm flat mattress that is breathable and designed to promote healthy sleeping habits.

The majority of cribs with a bedside panel that can be moved so that you can be able to see your baby in the night. This means that you can comfortably soothe them, feed them and monitor them without getting out of bed. This can be especially helpful for mothers who are recovering from c-section births, or those with limited mobility. Some models, like the SnuzPod4, offer an incline feature for reflux babies with reflux or digestive issues.

A lowered panel can also reduce the risk of your child slipping off the crib's edge Many have mesh sides to prevent the stray pillows or duvets from falling in. This is crucial in reducing the risk of SIDS. Babies who roll on their backs are more likely to suffocate.

It is recommended to keep any soft or dummy toys out of the crib as well as they could be suffocation hazards. To ensure your baby's safety, you should also ensure that the mattress of your crib is breathable and you check it regularly for any gaps or loose sheets. When your baby can sit up or stand, usually at around 6 months, they will need to move into a cot or another suitable sleeping arrangement. If you are concerned regarding this transition, talk to your GP or a health professional.

Comfort

The most ideal cribs for use at bedtime provide a secure and comfortable space for your baby's sleep. They are designed to rest next to your bed so that you can care for your baby without leaving your bed. This will give you the chance to bond with your baby in the beginning months. This feeling of security can help establish positive nighttime routines and enhance the overall quality of your baby's sleep.

Your baby should be kept in a bedside crib until they reach six months old or are able to push themselves up and then you can move to a traditional cot. Bedside cribs can accommodate your child until this age, but you must review the guidelines for the crib.

When choosing a bedside cot, ensure that it meets EN 1130 safety standards. It must be able to work with your existing bed (most clip onto standard bed frames, but you must double-check the exact dimensions). It is important that the mattress of your crib is firm, flat and airy. This is essential for your baby's health.

Our mom testers have been talking about the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib, which features a height-adjustable base that can be used as a separate crib or attached to your bed. This crib is lightweight and easy to put together. It also offers excellent value for the money. Another one of our favorites is the Silvercross Voyager, which our testers are awed by because of its versatility, breathable mattress, and reflux incline feature.

Space

A bedside crib is an accessory that is attached to the side of the bed. This allows you to keep your baby close throughout the night without the danger of co-sleeping, which is not recommended by the NHS or the Lullaby Trust. They've seen a rise in popularity recently with moms seeking a way to bond with their baby while staying safe.

They usually come with the lowering panel, which you can use to safely see and touch your baby, and some that allow you to keep the panel closed at night for the ease of feeding your baby without fuss and monitoring. Some come with an incline function for reflux too that many of our test moms appreciated for aiding digestion and reducing discomfort for those children who suffer from wind or reflux.

Some cribs with a bedside also have adjustable height settings, allowing you to place them at the same level as your mattress. This eliminates any gaps that could allow your baby to climb out or slip. This is an important benefit for those recovering from C-sections because it can be difficult to get in and out of bed while your body heals.

The lowered sides offer some privacy and are ideal for parents who are concerned about sharing their space with a newborn. It is important to keep in mind that even if you decide to sleep with your baby in a crib or cot by your bed, it is still best to follow the official guidelines for safe sleeping and avoid sharing your bed with anyone else.

You'll also need to ensure that your bedside crib is compatible with your own bed frame before buying - some clip onto bedsteads while others work better with divan beds. Make sure you purchase an appropriate mattress for your crib. These are usually sold separately from the crib and must conform to the latest BS EN1130 safety standards.

Some bedside baby bed cribs can also be converted into toddler beds, which can add the longevity of parents who do not want to purchase an additional crib for their child who is older. SnuzPod4 is a sleek frame that can fit into the corner of any bedroom and offers ample space for your child to sleep comfortably. It's also easy to assemble and comes with a convenient travel bag.

Convenience

A bedside crib vs cot crib allows you to easily lift your child out of bed to feed them, cuddle them and comfort them to sleep. Many cribs have an attached side panel that can be lowered to allow you to communicate with your baby without disturbing them. Some cribs have the side panel in place all the time. This is perfect for parents recovering from C-sections and want to keep their child close.

Some cribs offer a tilt option, which can aid in reducing reflux and colic. It's important to remember that tilting the crib must be done with attention and only by a parent who knows the medical history of their child and requirements.

Another aspect to consider is how easy the crib is to clean and whether it's machine washable or you need to wash it by hand it manually. Some cribs are equipped with waterproof covers to guard against leaky diapers, infant sickness and drips. Some cribs come with bags for storage, making them ideal for taking on trips in case you need to take your baby along.

It is also important to think about how heavy the crib will be, and if it's simple to move it from one room to another. Jasmine, our 2021 Mother & Baby Awards mum tester, described the Red Kite Cozysleep beside the crib as "just right size and light enough to easily move around your home." It can be folded flat and comes with a bag for travel for trips to visit the grandparents."

We recommend you read our reviews and ratings to make sure you pick the best crib for your baby and you. And remember that although a crib may appear beautiful and elegant, it's important to keep in mind that your baby will soon outgrow its tiny size. Therefore, you'll have to transfer your baby into a cot bed before they start to get out of it.
