Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to let parents sleep close to their baby at night without risk of SIDS. However they are not suggested for use until 6 months when your baby will need to move into a cot, or a moses basket. MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model has a bassinet that can be lifted off to use in the home and an option to rock manually. It was simple to put together, and it came with a travel bag. 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 old. There are two sizes of wooden cots – large and standard that can be converted into a toddler bed or cot. If you'd like your child (or children) to be capable of sleeping in the larger cot, it's an excellent idea to choose the larger size. Jasmine, a MFM mom who tried the product at home, was pleased the fact that it was a little bigger than the typical Moses basket, but not too big for the room of her baby. She says that it is easy to get the baby in and out of the cot during night feeds or for soothing and that it's quality is superior to others she has seen that are less sturdy. Emily, another home-based tester, is thrilled by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi lora – it is a portable, lift-off bassinet. It also is a rock. It also has an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that breathes. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the Best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. In contrast to International or European cot brands, the Lora can fit 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). Find the ideal mattress for your cot here. Height When you are choosing a cot for your bed be sure to choose one that can be elevated to a level that is comfortable for you to feed your baby. It must also be able to be dropped to the ground so that you can pull your baby closer to you during night feedings or soothing. This feature is especially useful if you are recovering from a C section. The Next2me cot and Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to the 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 consider is how low you want the cot's base to be. Some mothers find it is easier to lift their babies from their standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest point, while others prefer a higher height to give them greater stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice and one of our mum testers stating that it has an easy-to-use collapsible side that you can use at the push of the button. Remember that a bassinet/bedside sleeper is only suitable until your baby is able to hold their head up unaided generally around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. It's also important to note that if you opt for a bedside or bassinet which can be converted into a crib, you will need to start removing the sides when your child is able to do this, so that they don't climb out or get out of bed. Design There are a variety of cribs for bedside use, ranging from basic to lavish. Some of the more luxurious options include features like a built-in light or a center of calm that plays music and sounds and comes with two levels that help to soothe your baby back to sleep. Another option is a swivelling footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child in order to feed them. You may also find some models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to move to a bigger bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance, won Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It features a swivelling bottom that allows you to take your baby to the crib and transfer them to the other side of the crib without getting out of bed. This is ideal for new mums who are recovering from Caesareans or who require a bed for longer durations of time. Jasmine, a MFM mom who tried this product at home, said it was simple to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby, especially after having a C-section. Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib and has a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's a bit larger than some of the other cribs for bed we've tried, but it folds flat in its bag for travel, so it's quite compact when not in use. bedside crib co sleeper loved the practicality of this crib for bed, describing how it was designed with the needs of parents and children in mind. It is a fantastic design that is extremely simple to operate and is extremely durable. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing as it means you can move the bassinet side to side and one of its sides can be lowered down to ease access especially for mothers who are recovering from C-sections,' she added. Safety The bedside cot's primary security feature is that it can easily be raised or lowered so parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort him or their diaper. This makes it perfect for new mothers recovering from an C-section. Look for a design that lets you lower one side at the press of a button so you can easily lift your baby up without needing to get out of bed. This is particularly crucial as your baby grows older and more mobile. It is also important to be careful not to add anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation or injury, such as duvets and pillows, which can cause babies to overheat. The CPSC's NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product-related issues like gaps between the bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer misassembly (6 incidents). In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that these beds satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. However the CPSC found that these requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the amount of instances in which infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed. A majority of the incidents reported in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers that can be converted to different modes like bassinets and play yards. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add a second clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses which would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that is removable. Attachments can be permanently fixed or removed when the item is not being used as a baby bassinet. The CPSC is reviewing these comments and others received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into account these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to be released in November 2021.
