Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also called co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to allow parents to sleep close to their baby at night without fear of SIDS. bedside cots for newborns are only recommended up to 6 months, when your baby will be ready to move to an actual cot. MFM home tester Mehack was impressed that this model comes with a lift-off bassinet you can use around the house and the ability to rock manually. It was also easy to put together and came with its own travel bag for convenient storage. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They are less than. They also often convert into toddler beds, whereas they are typically used up to three years older. There are two sizes of wooden cots, large and standard – which can be transformed into a toddler bed or a cot. Selecting the larger one is a good option when you want your child to sleep in it until they reach at least three years old. Jasmine, an MFM mother who tested the product at home, said she liked the fact that it was a little bigger than a Moses basket, but not too big for the room of her baby. She claims that it is easy to get the baby in and out of the cot during evening feedings or to soothe and that the quality is superior to others she has seen that are flimsy. Another home tester, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is it's a drop-off bassinet that can be moved around the home, and it's rocking too. bedside cots for newborns comes with an option for inclining the reflux and a machine-washable liner that breathes. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. The Lora fits South African cot mattress unlike many international or European brands. This means you do not need to purchase a brand new mattress when your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here. Height When choosing a crib for your bed, choose one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It must also be lowered to a level that is not in the way so you can raise your child towards you to feed them at night or soothe him. This feature is particularly helpful if you are recovering from a C Section. For instance, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to the height of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma huddle up to 70cm. It is also important to consider how low you would like the bottom of your crib to be. While some mothers find it easier to lift their children out of standard Moses baskets at the smallest level, some mothers prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. One of our testers for mums stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It comes with a collapsible side you can push at the press of the button. Keep in mind that a bassinet/bedside sleeping device should only be used until your baby is able to hold their head without assistance typically around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of suffocation. It is also important to be aware that when your child is old enough to convert a bassinet/bedside sleeping system into a cot, you will have to remove the sides once they are ready to do so. This will stop them from climbing out or falling out of bed. Design There are many styles of cribs that are bedside, ranging from basic to extravagant. Some of the more extravagant options include features such as a built-in light, a soothing center which plays music and sounds and comes with two levels to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or a swivelling footrest that allows you to reach your child when you need to feed them. You may also find some models which can be made into an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to move to a larger bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance has won Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It has a swivelling bottom that allows you to take your baby to the crib and transfer them to the opposite side of the crib without having to get out of the bed. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who have to remain in bed for extended periods. MFM mum home tester Jasmine was awed by this feature, saying it was simple to use and made her baby much easier – especially after her c-section. Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which was awarded Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also comes with an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline and rocking function. It's slightly larger than some of the other cribs that we've tried, but it folds flat into its travel bag so it's quite compact when not in use. MFM mom home test Leya also liked the functionality of this crib for bed, she explained how it was created with babies and parents in mind. It is a fantastic design that is extremely simple to operate and is super-sturdy. She also said that the bassinet's swivelling base was a great idea since it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to facilitate access, especially for new mums recovering from c-sections. Safety The bedside cot's primary security characteristic is that it can be easily raised or lowered so parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort them, or change his or his or her nappies. This is why it's perfect for mothers who are still be recovering from a C-section. You should look for a design which lets you lower the side of the bed with a single button press. This will allow you to lift your child without having to get out of the bed. This is essential, especially when your baby grows and becomes more mobile. It is also important to not add anything to the cot that increases the risk of suffocation or injury, like pillows and duvets. These can cause babies to overheat. The NPR of the CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to problems with the product like gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents) and other miscellaneous product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance the products would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. However, the CPSC found that these requirements would not be feasible or effective to reduce the amount of instances in which infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed. The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included bedside sleepers with multiple uses that could be converted into other types of use, such as play yards and bassinets. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multiuse bedside sleepers to enable them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets by using a removable attachment that can be connected permanently or disconnected when the product is not being used as the bassinet. The CPSC is examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to come out in November 2021.
