Newborn Bedside Cot

A newborn crib with a bedside cot for twins is a tiny sleeping device that allows babies to sleep in the same space as their parents without the dangers of co-sleeping. (The AAP warns against this due to the risk of SIDS and inhalation.) It also makes mid-night nursing sessions and child care easier.

This sleeper features a firm mattress to support the backs of babies and decrease the chance of SIDS. It can be swiveled on your adult bed so that you can carry your baby to the top to cuddle them at sunrise or during late night nursing.

Budget

A bedside cot, sometimes referred to as a co-sleeper, an infant cot with a bassinet design that can be attached to your bed. This allows you to easily and safely reach your baby for mid-night feeding or cuddles. These are great for mothers and new parents recovering from a c-section because they provide the baby to be easily accessible without having to get up from the bed.

There are a variety of designs available, from the basic ones with just a drop down side to more sophisticated models that offer multiple adjustment options, including an incline or a height. Many convert to a standalone crib for naps during the day or when your baby is around a few months old and is sleeping more at night.

Maxi-Cosi Lora is one our top picks. It was shortlisted in the Best Cot category for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards. MFM home tester Emily said she was impressed by how chic and modern the design is, while she appreciated the fact that you can use it as a regular bassinet, or attach it onto your bed to sleep side-by-side in a safe and baby bedside cot secure manner. She also appreciated its luxurious mattress which was able to pass our tests of firmness, and that it has an option to manually tilt it for reflux sufferers.

However, she wasn't a fan of the fact that it had a non-mesh panel at the bottom and felt it was a bit bulky to move from room to room regularly. When folded into its travel bag, she found it quite heavy to carry up the stairs.

Size

A bedside cot is an infant bassinet that is placed on the side of your bed. It allows you to easily reach your baby for mid-night feeding nappies, comforting and feeding. It's also great for mothers recovering from a C-section.

The NHS and Lullaby Trust advise that you place your baby in the same room with you, but separated from you for the first six months, because this will reduce the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). A bedside crib is a secure way to achieve this because it has low sides and allows you to easily reach your baby throughout the night.

It's important that your newborn sleeps on a firm bed as it is more secure than a mattress that is soft. Babies don't have motor control to rotate and a mattress that is soft can increase the chance of being suffocated. The mattress is made of skin-friendly and air-tight materials. It is comfortable for your baby but firm enough to be safe.

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 baby. She also noted that the mattress was of good quality unlike other cribs that are thin and fragile. She also loves the fact that it has a storage area beneath for blankets and clothes which she claims many other bassinets lack.

Mehack, a MFM mom who tried the product at home, is thrilled the ability to remove the wall on the side to allow for easier access to your baby. She also likes the fact that legs can be placed under the bed to make it appear less bulky and take up less floor space. She's also amazed by how easy it is to move around the house whenever you'd like, for convenience during middle-of-the-night feedings and check-ins.

The CoZee Air crib is a favorite among parents. It won the Gold Award in the 2021 Mother and baby bedside sleeper Awards. It has a clever design with four pulleys that are built-in to raise or lower the crib and has a large storage basket to store your baby's toys, blankets and other necessities. It's also light and easy to put together, making it ideal to travel with your baby.

Safety

It is crucial to think about safety when choosing a newborn bedside crib to cot crib. 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 due to the dangers of suffocation, overheating and a greater chance of suffering from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Bassinets for bedside use allow parents to keep their newborns close, which allows for nighttime feedings as well as monitoring without the need to get out of bed.

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

A majority of bassinets come with a firm mattress that is designed to decrease the risk of suffocation, and is in line with industry standards. This is essential because baby's bones are fragile and not fully developed, and must be supported to prevent damage. The mattress should be covered in a fitted sheet to minimize the risk of suffocation due to dust mites and other allergens, and kept clean and free from irritants.

Some cribs for bedside use can be tilted. This is useful for babies who have reflux or digestive problems. However, it should be done with care and with caution. Avoid placing pillows, duvets or padded crib bumpers in the bassinet. These can pose the risk of suffocation to your baby.

You should also consider a bassinet that has a secure attachment system. It can be attached to your existing bed easily without the need 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 accidentally rolling over during sleep. If your bassinet has an attachment that is secure, it is a good idea to regularly check it. Make sure there are no gaps and that the system is securely connected.

Comfort

If you're a soon-to-be parent, your baby's comfort is one of your main concerns. Thankfully, there's an innovative sleep solution that allows you to keep your baby close during the night, without any of the risks that come with sharing beds. The baby bedside cot is an essentially a bassinet-style crib that is attached to the bed's side, allowing you to safely lift them out towards you for night feeding and soothing. It's also a great choice for mums recovering from a csection, as it reduces the need to bend down too far or even to get out of bed.

Modern cots for infants should be fitted with a firm, flat mattress to encourage safe sleeping habits and lower the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Bedding should be simple with just a cot sheet and blanket tucked tightly at the bottom. Avoid toys, bumpers and pillows that may be thrown over your baby, creating the risk of suffocation. If your baby is used to being swaddled you can use a swaddle or baby sleep bag for the first few weeks, although this should be removed as soon as you can once they've developed the strength to take off their wraps.

Some cribs with a bedside baby sleeper feature an adjustable or drop-down side that allows for easy access to your baby for comforting and feeding during the middle of the night. This is a great feature for parents who wish to maintain a close relationship with their child, but still adhere to NHS sleep guidelines. If you are planning to sleep with your child, it's important to be aware that this practice could increase the chance of SIDS. This is especially the case if a parent rolls on their infant when they are asleep.

A breathable fabric will keep your baby comfy and cool throughout the night.
