Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to allow parents to rest with their baby at night without fear of SIDS. However they are not suitable for use up to 6 months when your baby will be required to be moved into a cot, or a moses basket. Mehack is an MFM home tester, loved the fact that this model has a bassinet that can be used throughout the house. It also comes with the ability to rock manually. It was also simple to assemble and came in its own bag for easy storage. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They are less than. Cots can also convert into toddler beds. However cots are generally used for children up to the age of three. There are two sizes of wooden cots – big and standard, which can be converted into a toddler bed or a cot. The larger one is a good option if you want your child to sleep in it until the age of approximately three. MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was slightly bigger than the Moses basket, but not too big for her baby's room. Jasmine says it's easy to lift the baby in and out of the cot for night feeds or for soothing and that the quality is better than other cots she has seen that are less sturdy. Emily, another home tester, loves the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi lora which is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also rocks. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. Unlike some International or European cot brands Lora is a cot that Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't need to purchase a new mattress as your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). bedside cot co sleeper can find the right mattress for your cot here. Height When you are choosing a crib that is bedside, choose one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It should also be able to be lower to a level that is not in the way so you can lift up your child towards you to feed them at night or to soothe him. This feature is especially useful if you are recovering from a C Section. The Next2me cot and the Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to the maximum height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm, and the Knuma Hutch to 70cm. Another thing to think about is the height you would like to set for the cot's base to be. While some mothers find it easier to get their babies out of standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, other mums prefer a higher base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular option, with one of our mum test subjects saying that it comes with a simple collapsible side that you can use at the push of a button. Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device should only be used in the event that your baby can hold his head up without assistance, which is typically about 6 months old. This is due to the possibility of suffocation. You should also be aware that when your child is old enough to be able to convert the bedside sleeper into a cot you will have to take the sides off when they are ready to do this. This will stop them from getting out or falling out of the bed. Design There are many styles of bedside cribs, from basic to extravagant. The more expensive options could include features like a built-in night light, a soothing centre that plays sounds and music and offers two levels of vibration to help soothe your baby to sleep, or a swivelling base that makes it easier to reach your child for feedings. You may also find some models that can be transformed 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 example was awarded Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards in the Best Cot Moses Basket or Crib category. It has a swivelling bottom that lets you pick up your baby and move them to the opposite side of the crib without getting out of bed. This is perfect for new mothers recovering from Caesarean births, or those who need to stay in bed for prolonged periods of time. Jasmine is an MFM mother who tested the product at home, said it was simple to use and made it easier to reach her baby, especially after a c-section. Chicco Next2me Magic is another option. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a liner, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. It's a bit bigger than other cribs for bed we've tried, but it folds flat into its bag for travel, so it's quite compact when not in use. MFM mum home test Leya also appreciated the function of this bedside crib she explained how it was created with parents and babies in mind. It is easy to move and super-sturdy. Its swivelling base is brilliant because it allows you to move the bassinet side to side, and one of its sides can be lowered down to make access easier – particularly for new mums who are recovering from their C-sections,' she added. Safety The most important safety feature of a large bedside cot is that it is able to be raised or lowered to enable parents to reach their baby when they need to feed, comfort them, or change their nappies. This is why it's perfect for mothers who are still recovering from a C-section. You should choose an option that allows you to lower the bed's side by pressing a button. This will allow you to raise your child without having to get out of bed. This is especially important as your baby gets older and more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the chance of injury or suffocation like duvets and pillows, which can cause your baby to overheat. The CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems like gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing parts (6 incidents) and other miscellaneous product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For example, these products would have to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements weren't practical or effective in reducing the number of instances in which infants are entrapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed. A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to different modes like bassinets and play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include a different option to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using a removable attachment. Attachments can be permanently attached or removed when the item is not being used as a baby bassinet. The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will consider these comments when it votes on the final rule which is expected to be released in the month of November 2021.
