bedside crib vs cot (recent post by Metooo)

A bedside crib (also known as co-sleeper) allows your baby to sleep with you throughout the night. It is important to follow the official safe sleeping guidelines of 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

Bedside cribs are a great option for families that co-sleep. NHS Safe Sleep advises parents to select a separate area for their infant, and avoid sharing a mattress to minimize the risk of suffocation as well as overheating.

When choosing a crib for your bed it is crucial to ensure that the crib meets European safety standards and adheres to Lullaby Trust codes for safe sleep, so that your child is sleeping in a secure and safe environment. Bedside cribs with adjustable height settings can be fitted to the parent's bed frame and reduce the risk of gaps where babies 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 adjusted to allow you to be able to see your baby in the night. This means you can easily comfort them, feed and monitor them without needing to get out of bed. This can be especially helpful for new mums recovering from c-section births, or those who have limited mobility. Certain models, such as the SnuzPod4, also have the ability to tilt your reflux for babies suffering from reflux or digestive issues.

A lowered panel can also reduce the risk of your child slipping off the crib's edge Some have mesh sides to stop the stray pillows or duvets from falling in. This is crucial for reducing the chance of SIDS because babies who roll off their back are at greater risk of dying from suffocation.

It is advised to keep any soft or dummy toys from the crib as well because they can be suffocation hazards. A breathable crib mattress and regular checks for gaps or loose bedding are also vital to keep your baby safe. Once your baby is able to sit or stand, usually at the age of 6 months, they will need to move into an cot or another suitable sleeping arrangement. If you are concerned about this transition, it's worth speaking to your GP or health care professional.

Comfort

The best cribs for bedside offer a safe and comfortable space for your baby to rest. They are designed to sit next to your bed so that you can take care of your baby without having to leave your bed. This will give you the opportunity to bond with your baby in the early years. This feeling of security can help to establish positive nighttime routines and enhance the overall quality of your baby's sleep.

You should keep your child in a crib beside the bed until they reach 6 months old or are able to stand independently. At that point, you should switch to a traditional cot. Bedside cribs can accommodate your child up to this age, but you must be sure to read the instructions for the product.

When you are choosing a bedside cot make sure it is in compliance with EN 1130 safety standards. It should also be compatible with your bed (most are attached to standard bed frames, but it is important to double-check the exact dimensions). It is essential that the mattress of your crib is firm, flat and airy. This is essential for your baby's health.

The Chicco Next2me side sleeping crib is a favorite among our mum testers. It features a height adjustable base that can be used as a stand-alone crib, or attached to a bed. This crib is lightweight and simple to assemble. It also provides great value for the money. Another one of our favorites is the Silvercross Voyager, which our testers appreciate for its versatility, breathable mattress and reflux incline function.

Space

A bedside crib with changing table crib is an attachment that is attached to the side of the bed. This allows you to keep your child close all night long without the risk of co-sleeping, which is not recommended by the NHS or the Lullaby Trust. Recent years have seen an increase in their popularity among mums who want to spend time with their infant while also being safe.

They usually come with an incline panel that allows you to see and touch your baby, and others that allow you to put the panel down at night for the ease of feeding and monitoring your baby in a relaxed manner. Some come with an incline function for reflux too that many of our test moms liked for helping digestion and alleviating discomfort for those babies who are suffering from reflux or wind.

Many bedside cribs also come with adjustable height settings, which allows you to put them at the exact same level as your mattress. This will eliminate any gaps that could allow the baby to climb out or slip. This is a big benefit for those recovering from C-sections, as it can be hard to get in and out of bed as your body heals.

The lowered sides also offer some privacy, making them perfect for new parents who are worried about sharing a room with their infant. It's important to remember that even if you choose to sleep with your child in a crib or cot beside your bed, it's recommended to follow official guidelines for safe sleeping and avoid sharing your bed.

Before buying, you'll need to check that your bedside crib will fit on your bed frame. Some cribs attach to bedsteads, whereas others are more suitable for divan beds. Don't forget to get a suitable mattress for your new crib, which is usually sold separately to the crib and must meet the latest BS EN 1130:2019 safety requirements.

Some bedside cribs can also be transformed into toddler beds. This is a great solution for parents who don't need to buy an additional cot. The SnuzPod4 is an model, featuring an elegant, slim frame that fits neatly into the corner of your bedroom and offers plenty of room for your child to rest comfortably. It's also simple to put together and comes with a convenient travel bag.

Convenience

A crib that is placed near the bed allows you to easily lift your child from bed to feed them, cuddle them and comfort them to sleep. A majority of cribs have an upper panel that slides down, so you can touch and talk to your baby without having to wake them up completely or disturb their sleep. Some cribs keep the side panel down all the time. This is perfect for parents who have had C-sections and want to keep their child close.

Some cribs have tilt options, which can help with colic and reflux. It is important to note that tilting the crib should only be done by parents who know their baby's medical requirements and the history.

Another thing to think about is how easy it is to clean, and if it's machine washable or you have to hand wash it manually. Some cribs come with waterproof covers that protect against leaky nappies, infant sick and dribbles. Some cribs come with an organizer bag, which makes them ideal for travel in case you need to take your baby along.

It's also important to take into consideration how heavy the crib will be, and if it's simple to move it from one room to another. Our 2021 Mother & Baby awards mum tester Jasmine said that the Red Kite Cozysleep beside crib as "just the right size and lightweight enough to be easy to move around your house. It also can be folded flat and comes with a bag for travel cot bedside crib for trips to grandparents."
