Bedside Cot Crib

A bedside crib allows you to sleep in a safe environment with your infant without the risk of overheating or even death by suffocation. These cribs are attached to the bedside and are particularly beneficial for mothers who have difficulty to get out of their bed.

Safety

A bedside crib is an innovative crib that connects seamlessly to the parents' bed to provide a convenient method for them to take care of their baby during the night. This crib lets them reach their baby easily so they can feed or comfort them without leaving the bed, which is useful for new parents suffering from sleep deprivation in the early months. It promotes healthy growth for the baby by creating an environment that is safe and secure.

A top-quality bedside crib will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design on the foot of the bed. This reduces the chance of accidents that could hurt your baby. They also meet safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which ensures that your baby is secure and safe while they sleep. It is also important to ensure that the mattress you get with your crib is firm, not soft, and also look for any gaps that could increase your baby's danger of suffocation or getting trapped.

You should also be wary of using duvets, pillows or baby bumpers in your child's crib unless they're made specifically to be used with a crib or cot as they could pose danger and not meet safety standards. It is also important to ensure that any toys your baby uses in the crib is securely attached and does not extend out too far.

If you're not sure about a piece of equipment, consult other parents in an NCT group or at a baby cafe for suggestions, and make sure you look for a product that is brand new and meets current safety standards, not secondhand or hand-me-downs. Make sure the crib is free of damage before buying it.

Style

These cribs are great for keeping your baby close enough to reach them easily for meals at night and also to soothe them back to sleep during nap time. They are also ideal for mothers who have had c-sections but find it hard to get up at the middle of the night to look after their newborn.

There's a broad range of styles to pick from, but some of the features that you might like to be looking for are:

How easy it is to keep clean? Can it be cleaned by hand or is a machine washable mattress cover a must? What size is the bed and can you lower or raise it to accommodate? It is easy to move, but how heavy is it?

She also admired the size of it and said it's not as large as a full-sized crib but it's larger than standard Moses baskets and is comfortable for babies. It's also easy to assemble and folds flat for easy transportation. It was somewhat heavy for some mums who were carrying it around, which could be a problem for those who have mobility issues.

Another option to think about is the Maxi-Cosi Lora, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot Crib, Moses Basket category. It's distinct from other cribs for beds in that it doesn't have an adjustable panel, but instead an adjustable side that can be lower to reach baby. It's not as compact as other bedside cribs, but it's still portable and comes with an included travel bag.

Some cribs can transform into a toddler bed or cot by using an expansion kit. This can be a beneficial feature for families who are looking to extend the lifespan of their baby's sleep space long past the infant stage, but it's not always required.

Budget

The best cribs for bedside use are those that sit next to your bed so that you can look after your baby, change diapers at night, and feed your baby without having to get up from your bed. They'll typically have sides that fold or zip down easily, to allow you to reach over in the dark to scoop them up, and they should also be breathable for your comfort. The majority will have beds, which are ideal because you don't want it too hard or clumpy.

You should also factor in how easy it is to build - some cribs are more simple than others, and the more complicated models likely costing more. Take into consideration whether the crib will work with your bed or not. Some cribs may only work with a specific type of divan base, and this could be a problem if you have a more unusual bedframe.
