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 the risk of SIDS. They are recommended for up to 6 months, after which your baby will be ready to transition to an actual cot. MFM home tester Mehack loved the fact that this model has an adjustable bassinet that you can use throughout the house, as well as an option to rock manually. It was also easy to assemble and came in its own bag for easy storage. Size Cots and cots differ in terms of size in size, with cots smaller than cot beds. 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, large and standard – which can be transformed into a toddler bed or cot. The larger one is a good idea when you want your child to sleep in it until they reach approximately three. MFM mom home test Jasmine loved that the bedside cot was slightly bigger than a Moses basket, but not too big for her baby's room. It's easy to lift her baby in and out for night feeding or soothing, and that the quality is great in comparison to other cots she's seen that feel flimsy. Emily who is a home tester, loves the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora which is a lift-off, mobile bassinet. It also is a rock. It also has an option to tilt the reflux upwards and a machine-washable liner that breathes. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. The Lora fits South African cot mattress unlike other international or European brands. This means that you don't have to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it does require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). you could try here can find the right mattress for your cot here. Height When selecting a bedside crib pick one that can be adjusted to a comfortable height for you. It must also be lower away from the way, so you can raise your baby to feed them at night or soothe him. This feature is especially useful if you are recovering from a C section. For instance, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to a height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm. You should also think about how low you would like the bottom of your crib to be. Some mums find that it is easier to lift their babies from standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest level, while others prefer a higher elevation to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice and one of our mum testers stating that it comes with a simple collapsible side that is easy to push down with the click 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 with no assistance, which is usually around 6 months. This is because of the risk of inhaling suffocation. It is also important to be aware that if your child is old enough to turn an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot, you must take the sides off once they are able to do so. This will stop them from falling out or climbing out of the bed. Design There are a variety of cribs for beds, ranging from simple to lavish. Some of the more luxurious options include features such as a built-in light, a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels that help to soothe your baby back to sleep or an adjustable footrest that allows you to reach your child in order to feed them. You can also find models that can be transformed into an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to transition to their own bigger bed. For instance the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Crib, Best Cot or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that allows you to take your baby and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get out of bed. This is ideal for new mothers recovering from Caesareans, or those who need to remain in bed for extended periods. Jasmine, a MFM mother who tested the product at home, stated that it was easy 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 to be the Best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a interior, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's a bit larger than the other cribs that we've looked at, but it folds flat into its travel bag, so it's relatively compact when not in use. Leya, MFM mum home tester Also, she acknowledged the crib's usefulness. She claimed that it was designed for both parents and children. It is lightweight and easy to move. Its swivelling base is brilliant because it allows you to move the bassinet from side to side, and one of its sides can be opened down to ease access – particularly for new mums who are recovering from their C-sections,' she added. Safety A large bedside cot's main security characteristic is that it can be easily moved up or down so that parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort them, or change his or her diaper. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from the C-section. You should look for the design that allows you to lower the bed's side with a single button press. This allows you to raise your child without having to get out of bed. This is essential, especially when your baby grows and becomes more mobile. You should also not add anything to the cot that increases the chance of suffocation or injury, including pillows and duvets, which could cause babies to become overheated. The NPR released by the CPSC NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product issues that included gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of imposing additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these beds satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail. However, the CPSC concluded that such requirements would not be feasible or effective to reduce the amount of instances in which infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed. Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers that could be converted into different modes like play yards and bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative clause to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use which would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. The attachment can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as a bassinet for babies. The CPSC is examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will take into account these comments when deciding on the final rule which is expected to come out in November 2021.
