Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn foldable bedside crib cot is a compact sleeper that allows babies to share a space as their parents without the risks of true co-sleeping (which the AAP recommends against due to suffocation and SIDS). It also makes nursing sessions and child care more convenient.

This mattress has a mattress that is firm and supports babies' backs, reducing the risk of SIDS. It can be swiveled on your adult bed so that you can raise your baby to cuddle them at sunrise or during midnight nursing.

Budget

A bedside travel cot cot, also known as a co-sleeper, is the bassinet-style baby cot that is attached or clipped to your bed. This lets you comfortably and safely reach your newborn for middle-of-the-night feeding or comforting cuddles. They are a great option for mothers or new parents recovering from a c-section as they offer an easy access to baby and do not require you to get out of bed.

There are a variety of designs available, from the basic ones that have an upside-down side to more sophisticated models that offer various adjustment options, such as the ability to tilt or raise. The majority of them can be converted into a standalone crib for naps during the day or when your baby is around a few months old and sleeping longer at night.

One of our favourites is the Maxi-Cosi Lora which was nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards, including the categories of Best Cot Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket. MFM home tester Emily expressed her delight at how stylish and modern the design is, while she appreciated the feature that you can use it as a regular bassinet, or baby bedside cot clip it to a bed for safe side-by-side sleeping. She also admired the soft mattress, which has passed our test for firmness, and the fact that it features a manual rocking function that can be set to a slight incline for those suffering from reflux.

She wasn't a fan of the fact that it had a mesh panel on the bottom and considered it too bulky to move from room to room. She also found it to be a bit heavy to carry up and down the stairs, especially when it was folded up into its bag for travel.

Size

A bedside cot is the bassinet style cot that can be fixed to your side of the bed. You can easily reach your baby's side for feedings, changing nappies, or to comfort them in the middle of the night. It's also great for mothers recovering from C-sections.

The NHS and Lullaby Trust advise that you place your baby in the same room as you, but separated from you for the first six months since this will help decrease the chance of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). A bedside cosleeper crib is a safe way to achieve this because it is low-sided and lets you easily access your newborn at night.

It's important that your newborn sleeps on a firm mattress since it is safer than a soft one. Babies don't have motor control to rotate and a mattress that is soft can increase the chance of suffocation. The breathable fabric and skin-friendly materials make the mattress comfortable for your baby, but sufficiently firm to be safe for your baby.

Mum Jasmin was happy that the crib didn't take up much space in her bedroom and found it to be the ideal size for a newborn. She also said that the mattress was of high-quality unlike other cribs that seem thin and flimsy. She also likes that it has a storage area beneath to store blankets and clothing which she believes many other bassinets lack.

Mehack, a MFM mum who tested the product at home, loves that you can take off the wall on the side to allow for easier access to your baby. She also loves that legs slide under the bed so it does not look bulky or take up too much floor space. She's also impressed with how easy it was to move around her home in the event of feeds and check-ins during the night.

A winner of an Gold award in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards and the CoZee Air is a popular choice amongst parents. It is a clever design that has four pulleys that can be used to raise or lower your crib. There is also a large basket for blankets, toys, and other necessities. It's also light and easy to put together and is ideal for traveling with your baby.

Safety

When selecting a newborn bedside cot it's important to keep the safety of your baby in mind. The official safety sleep guidelines of both the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends that babies should not be sleeping in the bed of their parents because of the risks of suffocation, heat exhaustion and a higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bassinets for bedside use allow parents to keep their infants close to them, facilitating nighttime feedings as well as comforting and monitoring without having to get up.

This close proximity also assists breastfeeding mothers by allowing them to attend to the needs of their infant without having to get up completely and help keep milk supply steady and enhance the breastfeeding experience. Some cots with a bedside are equipped with adjustable height features, which can ensure that the bassinet is at a comfortable height for both mother and baby for ease of access during feedings or care.

Many bassinets have mattresses that are firm and designed to decrease the chance of suffocation and conforms to industry standards. This is essential because newborn's bones are brittle and not fully developed and require support to prevent damage. The mattress should be covered with a fitted sheet to reduce the risk that dust mites or other allergens, could suffocate a child. It should also be kept free of allergens and clean.

Some cribs on the bed can be tilted. This is helpful for babies suffering from reflux or digestive problems. However, it should be done slowly and with caution. It's also important to avoid adding pillows, duvets, or padded crib bumpers to the bassinet as they can create a suffocation risk for your baby. They should only be used when the cot is set on a flat surface.

It's also worth considering an adjustable bassinet with an attached system that is secure and can be easily fixed to your existing bed without the necessity of tools. This feature is especially useful for parents who find it difficult to lift their child into and out of the crib or are worried about their child falling asleep. If your bassinet has secured attachments it is a great idea to check it regularly. Make sure there aren't any gaps and that the system is securely connected.

Comfort

If you're a parent-to-be, the comfort of your baby is surely one of your top concerns. There's a new solution to sleep that allows you to keep your baby close to you at night without the risk of sharing a bed. The baby bedside cot is essentially a bassinet-style cot that fixes to the bed's side and allows you to lift them out towards you for night feeding and soothing. It is also the perfect choice for mothers recovering from a c-section, since it makes it less necessary to bend over too much or even take a step out of bed.

A modern cot for infants should have a sturdy, flat mattress to help in promoting safe sleeping habits and reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The bedding should be kept simple and consist of only the sheet for the cot and blanket tucked tightly at the bottom. Avoid toys, bumpers or Baby Bedside Cot pillows because they could be thrown over your baby and cause risk of suffocation. If your baby has been used to being swaddled for several weeks then you can use a swaddle, or a baby sleep bag. However, this should be removed once they are strong enough to take them off.

Some bedside cribs have an open or removable side for easy access to your newborn for middle-of-the-night feeds and comforting. This feature is perfect for parents who want to maintain a close relationship with their child while adhering to NHS sleep guidelines. If you are planning to sleep with your child, it is important to be aware that this practice can increase the risk of SIDS. This is particularly true if a parent accidentally is able to roll their infant over when they are asleep.

A fabric that is breathable will keep your baby comfortable and cool throughout the night. This is particularly crucial if you intend to co-sleep with your newborn because the risk of overheating increases when you sleep. The SnuzPod4 is a unique, side panel made of breathable mesh, which helps to improve the airflow and keeps your baby comfortable in their bed.
