If you're considering a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes available that are large and standard both of which convert into a cot bed/toddler bed. If you'd like your child (or children) to be able to sleep in a larger cot, it's a great option to select the larger one.

Height

When choosing a bedside cot choose one that can be raised up to a height that is comfortable for feeding your the baby. It should also be able to be lowered to the ground so that you can lift your baby up towards you for feedings at night or for soothing. This feature is particularly helpful when you are recovering from a C Section. The Next2me cot and Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to an maximum height of 58cm, while the Snuzpod 3 can go up to 63cm, and the Knuma Hutch can be adjusted to 70cm.

Another thing to think about is how low you want the base of your cot. While some mothers find it easier to lift their children out of traditional Moses baskets at the smallest height, other mums prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice and one of our mom test subjects saying that it is easy to use with a collapsible side that is easy to push down with the click of the button.

Remember that a bedside or bassinet should only be used until your baby is able to hold their head up unaided generally about 6 months. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. It is also important to remember that if you opt for a bedside crib or cot or bassinet which can convert into a cot and vice versa, you must begin removing the sides once your child is able to do this to ensure that they don't climb out or get out of bed.

Design

There are a variety of cribs for bedside use that range from basic to extravagant. The most luxurious models could include features such as an integrated night light and a calming centre that plays sounds and music and offers two levels of vibrating to help soothe baby back to sleep, or even the swivelling base which allows you to easily reach your child for feedings. Some models can be converted into a toddler bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready to go to their own 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 pick up your baby and move them to the opposite side of the crib without getting out of the bed. This is perfect for mothers who are recovering from Caesareans or who have to remain in bed for extended periods. Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested this product at home, said it was simple to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby, especially after a c-section.

Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a lining, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. It's bigger than the other cribs we tested, but it folds down into its travel bag to make it relatively compact when it's not in use.

MFM mum home test Leya also liked the functionality of this bedside crib, explaining how it was designed with babies and parents in mind. It is lightweight and easy to move. She also said that the swivelling bassinet base was a great idea because it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lower to make access easier, especially for new mums recovering from c-sections.

Safety

A large bedside cot's main safety characteristic is the fact that it can be easily raised or lowered so parents can reach their child to feed, comfort or change his or his or her nappies. This makes it perfect for mothers who are recovering from a C-section. You should look for an option that allows you to lower the sides of the bed with a single button press. This allows you to raise your child without having to get out of bed. This is especially important as your baby gets older and becomes more mobile. You should also not add anything to the crib that could increase the chance of suffocation, or injury, such as pillows and duvets, which can cause babies to overheat.

The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues like gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside travel cot sleeper (12 incidents) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents).

In its NPR the CPSC examined the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance they would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at least the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements weren't efficient or effective in reducing number of instances in which infants are trapped between a bedside rail and an adult bed.

Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside crib or cot sleepers that could be converted into other types of use, such as play yards and bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative provision to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. Attachments can be permanently fixed or disconnected when the product's not being used as a baby bassinet.

The CPSC is examining these comments and others received in response to the NPR on bedside rocking crib - visit the next web page - sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule that is expected to be published in November 2021.
