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 fear of SIDS. cot for bedside are only recommended for up to 6 months old, at which point your baby is ready to transition to an actual cot. MFM home tester Mehack loved that this model comes with a bassinet that can be lifted off to use in the home and an option to rock manually. It was also simple to assemble and came in its own bag for easy storage. Size Cots and cots differ in size, with cots being smaller than beds for cots. They also often convert into toddler beds, whereas the cot beds are typically used for up to three years. old. If you're looking for a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes to choose from both large and standard both of which will convert into a toddler bed or cot beds. If you wish for your child (or children) to be able to sleep in a bigger cot, it's an excellent option to select the larger size. Jasmine, an MFM mother who tested the product at home, said she liked that it was slightly larger than a Moses basket, but not too large for the baby's room. Jasmine says it's easy to get the baby into and out of the cot for evening feedings or to soothe and that the quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are less sturdy. Another home-based tester, Emily, likes how versatile the Maxi-Cosi Lora is It's a bassinet that lifts off that can be moved around the home, and it's a blast too. It also comes with a reflux incline option 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. Unlike some International or European cot brands, the Lora can fit South African cot mattresses so you don't need to buy an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. It does require a special bedding set (60x120cm). Here you can find the ideal mattress for your cot. Height When choosing a bedside cot, look for one that can be raised to a height that is comfortable for you when feeding babies. It should also be able to be lower out of the way, so that you can pull your child towards you to feed them at night or to soothe him. This feature is particularly useful in the event of recovering from a C-section. For instance, 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 the height you would like to set for the base of your cot to be. Some mothers find it is easier to lift their infants from standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest point, while others prefer a higher level to give them greater stability. One of our mum testers stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It comes with a collapsible side you can press at the touch the button. Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device should only be used when your baby is able to hold his head without assistance, which is usually around 6 months. This is because of the danger of being suffocated. It is also important to remember that if you choose a bedside sleeper or bassinet that you can be converted into a crib, you will need to remove the sides as soon as your child is ready for this to ensure they don't get out of bed or get out of the bed. Design There are many different styles of cribs that are bedside, ranging from basic to lavish. The most luxurious models could include features like a built-in nightlight, a soothing centre that plays music and sounds and offers two levels of vibrations to help soothe baby back to sleep, or an adjustable 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 an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to transition to a larger bed. For instance, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that lets you take your baby and move them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get up. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who need to stay in bed for longer durations of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine was awed by this feature, stating that it was easy to use and made her baby much more manageable particularly after her c-section. Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which was awarded Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and includes a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's larger than other cribs for bed that we tested, but it folds down into its bag for travel, making it relatively compact when it's not in use. MFM mum home tester Leya also appreciated the function of this crib for bed, she explained how it was created with the needs of parents and children in mind. It is very easy to move and extremely sturdy. She also said that the bassinet's swivelling base was fantastic since it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lower to facilitate access for moms who are recovering from C-sections. Safety The bedside cot's primary security characteristic is the fact that it can easily be moved up or down so that parents can reach their child to feed or comfort them, or change his or their nappies. This makes it ideal for new mothers who may still be recovering from a C-section. You should look for an option that lets you lower the bed's side with a single button press. This allows you to raise your child without having to get out of the bed. This is essential, especially as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. It is also important to be careful not to add anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation or injury, like pillows and duvets, which can cause babies to overheat. The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product 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 examined the possibility of additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these products meet 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 determined that these requirements would not be efficient or feasible to reduce the number of incidents where infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed. The majority of the reported incidents in the NPR involved multiuse bedside sleepers that can be converted to different modes like play yards and bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second provision to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers that would permit them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using a removable attachment. This attachment can be permanently connected or removed when the item is not being used as a bassinet for babies. The CPSC is considering these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside. The Commission will take into account these comments when deciding on the final rule that is expected to be released in November 2021.
