Safety
A bedside crib crib is an innovative crib which is able to connect seamlessly to the parents' beds, giving them a convenient way to take care of their baby during the night. This crib lets them access their child easily so that they can feed and comfort them without having to leave the bed. This is beneficial for parents who may be suffering from sleep apnea during those first few months. It promotes healthy growth for the infant by providing a safe and comfortable environment.
A high-quality bedside crib will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design on the foot of the bed. This helps to reduce the risk of accidents that could harm your baby. They also have to meet safety standards like BS EN 1130:2019, which will ensure that your child is safe and secure when they're asleep. It is also important to ensure that the mattress included in your crib is firm rather than soft, and look for any gaps that could increase your baby's risk of suffocation or entrapment.
Avoid using pillows, duvets or baby bumpers to your baby's crib unless they were designed to be used with a crib. They can pose a serious safety hazard, and may not meet the required safety standards. You should also make sure that any toys or objects your baby is playing with in the crib are securely anchored to the crib, and aren't too far out of the crib's edges.
If you're not sure about a piece of equipment, you can always consult other parents in an NCT group or at a baby cafe for advice and look for a product that is new and meets current safety standards, not second-hand or hand-me-downs. Make sure the crib is free of damage prior to purchasing it.
A bassinet is another option. It is like a crib but is usually fixed to your bed. It doesn't have legs. They are great for newborns and are ideal for those recovering from the c-section. They keep your baby close to you at all times.
Size
Keep your baby close to you at night with the Sweet2Sleep crib for bedside. This innovative crib comes with a variety of features that can aid you in bonding with your newborn and soothe them. It is ideal for feeding at night as well as cuddles and comfort check-ups. Simply lift or lower the side rail of the crib with one hand to calm and comfort your baby or for secure sleep monitoring. It features an easy rocking feature and an incline feature that can aid in relieving symptoms like stomach pain and indigestion.
It has a large storage space beneath the crib, perfect for nappies and blankets. It's also designed to fit divan beds, so you don't have to worry about your frame. Gulhan Arapoglu stated that it was an ideal size, strong, and easy to move from room room. She added that it's a little heavier than other cribs for bed but that's due to the extra features such as an adjustable rocking mode as well as a reflux incline.
One of the most important factors to look for in a crib is a firm mattress. This helps reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) because mattresses that are soft increase the likelihood of being suffocated. A mattress that is firm will be healthier for your baby's wellbeing, as it is more comfortable and helps to promote healthy spinal development.
You can buy a crib mattress on its own. We recommend that you invest in a high-quality model to give your baby the best quality sleep. Verify that the mattress is in compliance with British safety standards and that it's the right size for your baby.
If you're considering purchasing a bedside cot crib, it's worth doing some careful shopping around to ensure you're getting the best price.

Style
A bedside crib is an attached bassinet to your bed. They're perfect to keep your baby close to you, so you can easily reach them for evening feedings or help them go back to sleep during nap time. These are also great for mothers who have had csections and find it hard to get up in the middle of the night to care for their infant.
There are many different styles to choose from, but you should look for the following qualities:
How easy is it to keep it clean? Can it be cleaned by hand or is an easy-to-clean mattress cover essential? How big is the bed and can you adjust it to fit? It is easy to move and how heavy is it?
Mum test-taker Jasmine particularly loved the fact that this crib can swivel, which made it easier to reach into and out of to pick up her newborn. She also liked the size, stating that it's not as large as a full-sized baby crib but it is larger than standard Moses baskets. It's also a comfortable fit for her infant. It's also simple to assemble and folds flat for easy transport. It was quite heavy for some moms, which could be a problem for those with mobility problems.
Another option to consider is the Maxi-Cosi Lora, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category. The crib differs from others in that it doesn't have a drop down panel, but instead has an adjustable side you can lower so that you can reach your baby. It's not quite as compact as other cribs, but it's still portable and comes with an included travel bag.
Other cribs are designed to be converted into a toddler bed or cot using an expansion kit. This feature is useful for families who want to extend their baby's sleep space beyond the infant stage. However, it is not always required.
Budget
The best cribs for bedside use can be placed right next to your bed, so that you can watch baby and take care of feedings at night and changing nappy without needing to get out of bed. It is easy to fold or close the sides so that you can access them in the dark. They should also be breathable to provide comfort. The majority will have beds, which are ideal since you don't want it to be too soft or lumpy.
The price of more complicated models will be more expensive. Take into consideration whether the crib will work with your bed or not. Some may only work with a specific type of divan base, which could be an issue if you have a more unusual bedframe.
The popular Next2me Magic crib is a great option for parents with a divan bed, and was shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the The Best cot bedside, Crib or Moses Basket. It's well-constructed and has a high mesh side that let you see the baby's face. Our mom testers gave it a thumbs up. It also has a convenient storage shelf for nappies and blankets, and is relatively lightweight at 10kg.
The SnuzPod4 is an alternative. It comes in a variety of colors and our moms are in love with it. The SnuzPod4 is a slim, elegant option that offers plenty of space for babies to relax comfortably. Our mothers are also awed by features like incline options which aid in reducing reflux, as well as a soothing rocking mechanism.
Both of these cribs are sold for PS99 or less which makes them more affordable than a Moses basket when you're looking to save money on your initial investment. Always follow the safe sleeping guidelines and make sure the crib you choose is secure.
