What is a bedside
cot for bedside?
A bedside crib, also known as a bassinet or co-sleeper is a baby cot that is attached to an adult bed. This allows your baby to sleep next to you in safety. This is a secure form of co-sleeping and does not increase the risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It also helps you bond with your new baby.
The cots usually have a side that is able to be raised, so you can easily reach your infant throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly useful for mothers who are recovering from a c-section. Many of them are foldable or portable making them suitable for trips and as a temporary solution for newborns that aren't yet ready to be able to transition to a larger crib.
If you're looking for a crib to sleep in Look for a crib with a comfortable mattress and a cover to shield your baby from stains. You may also want to purchase baby-safe items such as a blanket or teether.
If you are seeking a long-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that let you transform them into a toddler bed or cot at the time that is appropriate. This is a great way to extend their life and making the transition easier. Some models have a removable portion at the top that can be transformed into the bassinet. Some can be used with either a regular adult bed or a high-rise one. This is a good choice for families that plan on traveling frequently or switching rooms throughout the night. Take into consideration the dimensions of your room to ensure you fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with a riser which can be used to create an inclined position for babies who suffer from reflux.
The Joie Roomie Glide
Known for their high-quality baby products for babies, the English brand Joie has entered the world of cribs that are bedside with the Roomie Glide. This co-sleeper was designed to enable parents to connect and sleep side-by-side with their children without sharing the same bed. It's loaded with features that help make bonding between parent and baby secure, easy, and fun.
A gentle rocking motion can be activated by pressing a button. This gentle rhythm will help to soothe your baby without disrupting their natural sleep patterns. This is ideal for older toddlers or babies who struggle to settle down. It can also assist with digestive issues like colic and reflux.
The crib can be locked into its place after the rocking has been finished to stop it from moving and can also be secured on the side of your bed by clips and straps. This makes it solid and secure, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep without worrying about your baby sliding off into the middle of the room. The round shape of the cocoon is complemented by softly padded side panels and double mesh windows on both ends. This allows for airflow while ensuring your baby's safety.
The mattress is soft and firm. It is covered in a washable material. The crib is simple to assemble and disassemble with the lightweight aluminum frame that makes it very portable. The four locking wheels are covered in rubber to ensure the crib doesn't leave marks on your floor and are easy to move around. It is easy to clean using cloths that wipe clean and is easy to carry in a bag for travel, which makes it ideal for overnight stays away from home.
The TuttiBambini CoZee air
This superior model is designed to be a safe baby-sitter from birth until 6 months. It comes with rocking bars for easy mobility and castors. Its deluxe airflow mattress offers an incredibly comfortable sleeping surface, while the ventilation panels ensure your baby is kept cool. There are six different height settings, including an incline option that can aid with congestion and reflux.
Unlike some bedside cribs, which can be a challenge to clean due to their constant stream of dribble and snot The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air comes with a wipe-clean liner and fabric that can be washed in the machine. It also has a top bar that can be easily adjusted to feed at night without having to fiddle with zips in the dark.
Anna discovered that the CoZee was a safe and comfortable sleeping space for her infant. She was delighted the fact that it didn't roll like other models, which meant it didn't wake her up at night while she was trying to soothe her baby for feeds. She also enjoyed that the side lowered down so that she didn't have to reach out over her partner to pull the baby out to feed her at night.
The CoZee comes in charcoal or oak and is a fashionable option for any bedroom. It looks more like an expensive piece of furniture than many of the other cribs we've tested, which can appear rather utilitarian. It's also light at just 11kg. It also comes with a carrying case, so you can take it on holiday or when moving house. It's all you need to buy is a waterproof sheet and a safety strap to sleep with your partner. The instructions and illustrations are simple to follow when you first open the box.
The Maxi-Cosi Lora
The Iora is a bassinet designed for infants designed to make parents feel more connected to their baby while they sleep. It adjusts upwards and downwards and moves through three slide positions to be placed next to the bed of the parent, or in the corner of the room so that the baby is always close at hand. The mesh siding is breathable, allowing air to flow through and allows you to glance at your child. You can also keep extra pajamas or supplies in the
large bedside crib basket underneath.
In contrast to other bedside crib options, the Iora folds flat and comes with a bag for travel so that it can be carried anywhere. Our mum testers were able to move it from room to room, and believed that it was a suitable size for a small bedside cot that was not too big or small. They also appreciated the large storage basket which is ideal for stowing spare bedding or nappies.
This is a great option for parents who wish to sleep together but don't want to share their bed. Also, if one of the partners has mobility issues like back pain or arthritis. Our mom testers were thrilled to be able to easily access their child in the Iora and that it came with an option to have a reflux incline which helped reduce gas.
Our moms appreciate the fact that it complies with NICE guidelines which state that you should place the infant in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys pillows, etc.). They also claim that the mattress is comfortable and firm for babies and is easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as other smaller cribs on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier to move, choose another alternative.
