Bedside Crib Vs Cot
A bedside crib (also called a co-sleeper) lets your baby rest close to you during the night. It's important that you adhere to 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 easy to move around due to its slim frame.
Safety
bedside crib co sleeper cribs are a great alternative for families who co-sleep. However, NHS Safe Sleep advice recommends that parents should make sure that they have a separate sleeping area for their child and avoid sharing a bed in order to minimize the risk of overheating, suffocation and rollovers.
It is essential to ensure that when you select the crib for your baby, you check to ensure that it complies with European safety standards. Also, make sure the crib complies with Lullaby trust codes of safe sleep to ensure he is sleeping in a space where he is secure and safe. rocking bedside crib cribs with adjustable height settings can be matched to the bed frame of the parent which reduces the chance of gaps that infants could become trapped. The cribs come with a firm, flat mattress that is designed to promote healthy sleeping habits.
The majority of cribs with a bedside feature an adjustable panel that can be adjusted to let you securely monitor your baby at night. This means that you can comfortably comfort them, feed and monitor them without getting out of bed. This is particularly beneficial for new mums recovering from c-section births or those who have limited mobility. Some models, like the SnuzPod4, offer the ability to tilt your reflux for babies who have reflux or digestive issues.
A lowered crib can lower the chance of your child slipping off the edge of the crib, and many have mesh sides to prevent the stray pillows or duvets from falling in. This is essential in reducing the risk of SIDS. Babies who roll on their backs are more likely to drown.
It is recommended to keep any soft or dummy toys from the crib, as these can also be suffocation hazards. To ensure that your baby is safe and secure, make sure that the crib mattress is breathable and you check it regularly for any gaps or loose sheets. Once your baby is able to sit up or stand, typically at the age of 6 months they'll need to move into an cot or another suitable sleeping arrangement. If you are concerned about this transition, it is important to speak with your GP or health visitor.

Space
A bedside crib is a sleep space that clips securely onto the side of your bed which allows you to keep your baby close throughout the night without having to worry about the risk of co-sleeping (which is not recommended by The Lullaby Trust and NHS). They've grown in popularity recently with moms seeking a way to bond with their newborn while remaining safe.
They typically feature the lowering panel, which allows you to be able to touch and observe your baby, and others that allow you to keep the panel closed at night for the ease of feeding and monitoring your baby in a relaxed manner. Certain models also have an incline feature for reflux, which was loved by many of our test subjects for reducing discomfort and aiding digestion for babies with reflux or wind.
Some cribs with adjustable height settings as well that allow you to set them at the same height as your mattress, ensuring there's no gap between the two that could allow baby to climb up or slide out. This is a huge benefit for those recovering from C-sections, as it can be hard to get into and out of bed as your body heals.
The lower sides also offer some privacy, making them ideal for new parents who are concerned about sharing a space with their newborn bedside cot. It is important to keep in mind that even if you decide to sleep with your baby in a crib or cot near your bed, it's still best to follow the guidelines for safe sleeping and not share your bed with anyone else.
You'll also have to make sure your bedside crib is compatible with your bed frame prior to purchasing - some clip onto bedsteads while others work better with divan beds. Don't forget to buy a mattress that is suitable for your crib. These are usually sold separately from the crib, and must be in line with the most recent BS EN1130:2019 safety standards.

The SnuzPod4 is one such model, featuring a slim, sleek frame that fits neatly into the corner of your bedroom and offers plenty of room for your child to rest comfortably.

Some cribs keep the panel in place all the time - this is great for parents who are about to be recovering from a C-section and want to keep their newborn close.
Some cribs come with a tilt option, which can help with reflux and colic. It is important to remember that tilting the crib must be done with caution and only by a person who knows their baby's medical history and requirements.
Another aspect to think about is how easy it is to clean, and whether it can be washed by machine or you have to hand wash it. Some cribs have waterproof covers that protect against leaky nappies and baby sick and dribbles. Some also have a handy storage bag, making them perfect for travel cot bedside if you have to bring your baby along with you.
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.
