How to Choose the Best Bedside Cot uk

Official safe sleeping guidance from both NHS and Lullaby Trust recommends that newborns sleep in their own cot or Moses basket. A bedside crib is a practical and space-saving option for room-sharing new parents.

What is a bedside crib?

A bedside cot (also known as a side sleeper, bassinet or co-sleeper) is a safe method for your baby to rest close to you throughout their first months. These cribs fix to your bed and allow you to lift your baby out towards you at night for feeding or comforting without the danger of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome as a result of traditional bed sharing. They're also a great option for mothers who are breastfeeding or recovering from a caesarean.

They are usually a little smaller than a standard cot but they provide plenty of space for your baby to relax. You can pick from a variety of styles and features, according to what you like best. Many bedside cribs have an adjustable or drop down side that makes it easier to reach your baby for evening feeds. They are available in a variety of sizes to fit the dimensions of your bed.

Some bedside cribs come with an riser that permits you to add a slight rise to the sleeping space that can aid in reflux and a zip-off side for easy cleaning. Other cribs have manual rocking functions which can be a relaxing distraction for your newborn. You'll also require a breathable mattress to go with your crib. It must be at least 30cm deep to ensure your baby has enough head space.
