Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus Bedside sleepers allow you to keep your baby to you do without the danger of sharing beds, which comes with an increased risk of suffocation. They're a great choice for newborns. Models with adjustable height positions can be placed perfectly on all bed frames. Also, look for breathable fabrics that are easy to clean. Safety A bedside cot is an upholstered bassinet that is attached to the bed's side to ensure safe co-sleeping. It can be used to lift your baby towards you for comfort, feeding or to help soothe them at night. It's also an excellent alternative if you've had a c-section. It differs from a Moses Basket or Cot in that it has high walls, so your baby cannot fall out. Some models have a tilt feature that can help babies with colic or reflux. They are also slightly bigger than Moses baskets, which may make them easier to move from room to room. The NHS and The Lullaby Trust, a safe sleep charity, suggest that newborns be kept in a bassinet or cot that is in the same room as their parents. They shouldn't be sleeping in your bed. This is because sharing a bed increases the chance of suffocation and overheating. Bedside cribs provide the best of both worlds, allowing your baby to be close to you during the night, but in their own secure and private sleeping space. Make sure the crib is compliant with the most recent safety standards. It should be BS EN1130:2019. Also, make sure there aren't any gaps or parts that could allow your child to get trapped. Look for a mattress with a flat, firm surface. A sagging or overly soft mattress can increase the risk of SIDS, so choose for a new one rather than second-hand. Also, make sure you choose bedding that's fitted and free of any loose blankets or pillows. Pillows are a suffocation risk and duvets could get stuck to baby's face. It's best to use a fitted sheet instead, but make sure it's fitted correctly. The SnuzPod4 was rated highly by our MFM mum testers as a crib for use at bedtime.
