Bedside Cot Bed

A bedside crib (also called a bassinet or a side sleeper) connects to the parent's bed to ensure secure co-sleeping. You can easily reach your child at night for feedings and comforting, without disturbing your sleep.

It is important to make sure that the crib is attached securely and that it's regularly inspected for any gaps that could pose as dangers to suffocation. Some cribs can be converted with conversion kits that turn them into standalone baby cots as your baby grows.

Safety

A bedside cot bed is similar to a baby bassinet however it is attached to the mattress you already have instead of sitting on the floor. They're loved by parents who want their newborn to be within reach for feeding, comforting and at nighttime diaper changes. They're also a key component of safe cosleeping (also called rooming-in) and reduce the risk of SIDS.

If you decide to go with a sliding bed or 4-in-1 bedside sleeper, you'll need an appropriate cot mattress that fits in the cot bed snugly. Be sure that it doesn't slump or bulge, and that it meets safety standards, including the Lullaby Trust's guidelines. If you're buying a secondhand cot mattress, check that it's clean and free of cracks or tears and isn't brimming with threads that a baby might get caught in.

A crib that is placed near the bed allows mothers to react quickly to their newborns needs, whether it is bottle-feeding or breastfeeding. This allows them to maintain their milk supply. It also allows them to feed their babies without having to get up or out of bed. This helps promote healthy sleeping habits for parents and their babies.

Most bedside cot beds have mesh that's securely attached to the sides of the cot to reduce the risk of a baby being trapped or entangled in the gaps. Make sure to regularly inspect the mesh to look for tears or loose threads which could entangle or catch the baby's clothes. Also, ensure that there are no other hazards, such as handles or bars that protrude, which may encourage your child to climb out of the bed. Likewise, look for any plastic parts that may be hot to the touch. Also, avoid sharp edges or splinters.

Convenience

A bedside cot lets you keep your baby close by so you can be able to respond to their needs throughout the night, without having to move out of your own bed. This proximity can make it easier for you to feed them, change them and comfort the baby when they wake up, particularly in the early stages of parenting, which can lead to better sleep for you both. It can be beneficial in establishing a breastfeeding bond.

This type of infant sleep solution is also known as a sidecar or foldable bedside crib basset. It's a secure form of co-sleeping, which lowers the chance of suffering from sudden death syndrome (SIDS). It lets babies sleep close to parents, which can help mothers establish a breastfeeding bond and also get more rest in the first few months after the birth.

Most models have a slide-down or removable side that lets you lift the baby out of the crib without having to get out of your bed, making it easier to take care of their needs during the night. Some models even have a manual rocking function, which can be particularly useful for babies that have reflux. These cribs are typically smaller than a moses basket or a standard cot, so they take up less space.

Some beds have an under-bed storage space. This is a great spot to store nappy and blankets. It's also a good storage area for toys and other baby-related items. It's possible to find some that are convertible, meaning they can be converted from a side-sleeper to a full-sized crib, or toddler bed as your child gets older.

Styles

Think about a sliding or 4-in-1 crib as an alternative to the bedside cot. They're similar to a cot, but they can be slid to the side of your bed with no gaps between and can be transformed into a regular mattress when your child is old enough to use them.
