Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to allow parents to snuggle with their infant at night without risk of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months old, at which point your baby is old enough to transition to an actual bed. MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model comes with a bassinet that can be lifted off to use throughout the house, as well as an option to rock manually. It was simple to put together, and it came with a travel bag. Size Cots are smaller than cots. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only used for children up to the age of three. There are two sizes of wooden cots – big and standard – which can be transformed into a toddler bed or a cot. If you want your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in a bigger cot, it's an excellent idea to pick the larger size. Jasmine is an MFM mum who tested the product at home, liked the fact that it was a little bigger than a Moses basket, but not too big for the room of her baby. She says it's easy to carry her child in and out for night feeding or soothing and that the quality is excellent, compared with many she's seen that are flimsy. Another home test subject, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi is a versatile product it's a drop-off bassinet that you can move around the home, and it's rocking too. It also comes with an option for inclining the reflux and a machine-washable liner that breathes. It was also shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for Best Cot Crib, Crib or Moses Basket. The Lora is a perfect fit for a South African cot mattress unlike other international or European brands. This means you don't need to buy a new mattress every time your baby grows. It does require a special bedding set (60x120cm). Here is rocking bedside crib for your cot. Height When you are choosing a cot for your bed, look for one that can be raised up to a level that is comfortable for you when feeding baby. It must also be lowered away from the way, so you can raise your baby towards you to feed them at night or comfort him. This feature is particularly helpful if you are recovering from a C-section. For example, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to the height of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm. Another thing to think about is how low you want the base of your cot to be. While some mothers find it easier to lift their children out of traditional Moses baskets at the lowest level, some mothers prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. One of our mom testers stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It comes with a collapsible side you can press at the touch one button. Keep in mind that a bassinet/bedside sleeper should not be used until your baby can hold their head up without assistance, usually at around 6 months. This is due to the danger of suffocation. It's also important to know that if you select a bedside sleeper or bassinet that you can convert into a cot it is necessary to start removing the sides when your child is able to do this, so that they don't get out of bed or get out of bed. Design There are a variety of bedside cribs, from simple to luxurious. The more luxurious options may include features such as a built-in night light or a soothing center which plays music and sounds and offers two levels of vibrating to help soothe baby back to sleep, or even a swivelling base that makes it easier to get your baby's food in the right place. You may also find some models that can be transformed into a cot bed or toddler bed (or both), perfect when your child is ready to move to a larger bed. For example, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air which was awarded Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Crib, Cot or Moses Basket category, has an adjustable base that lets you pick up your newborn and move them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get out of bed. This is ideal for new mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who need to stay in bed for longer durations of time. Jasmine is an MFM mum who tested this product at home, said it was simple to use and made it easier to reach her baby – especially after the C-section. Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards to be the best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a lining, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. It's a bit larger than the other cribs for bed we've looked at, but it folds flat into its bag for travel, so it's quite compact when not in use. MFM mom home test Leya loved the practicality of this crib for bed, explaining how it was designed with babies and parents in mind. 'It has an excellent design that is very simple to operate and is super-sturdy. The swivelling base of the bassinet is amazing because it allows you to move the bassinet side to side and one of its sides can be opened down to facilitate access especially for mothers who are recovering from their C-sections', she said. Safety A large bedside cot's main security characteristic is that it can easily be adjusted or moved so that parents can reach their child to feed or comfort him or her nappy. This is ideal for new mothers recovering from a C-section. Look for a design that lets you lower one side with the press of a button. This way, you can easily lift your baby up without needing to get out of bed. This is essential, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of suffocation or injury, such as duvets and pillowcases, which can cause your baby to overheat. The NPR released by the CPSC NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems, such as gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents); consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR in its NPR, the CPSC examined the possibility of additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that they satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. The CPSC decided, however, that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing the amount of instances where infants are trapped between the bedside rail and an adult bed. The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers that could be converted into other types of use, such as bassinets and play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include a different clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers with multiple uses which would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using a removable attachment. This attachment can be permanently fixed or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet for babies. The CPSC is currently examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when deciding on the final rule, which is expected to be released in the month of November 2021.
