Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also called co-sleepers or bassinets) are designed to allow parents to snuggle with their infant at night without the risk of SIDS. However they are only recommended for use up to 6 months, when your baby will be required to move into a cot or a moses basket. Mehack is an MFM home tester, was awed by the feature that this model comes with an integrated bassinet that can be used around the home. It also has the ability to rock manually. It was also simple to put together and came with its own travel bag for easy storage. Size Cots and cot beds differ in size, with cots being smaller than beds for cots. They can also be converted into toddler beds, while cot beds are generally only used for up to three years. older. If you're opting for a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from that are large and standard both of which will convert into a cot/toddler beds. If you'd like your child (or children) to be able to sleep in a larger cot, it's an excellent idea to pick the larger size. Jasmine is an MFM mom who tried the product at home, liked that it was slightly larger than a Moses' basket but still not too big for the room of her baby. bedside crib travel claims that it is easy to lift the baby in and out of the cot for evening feedings or to soothe and that it's quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are flimsy. Emily who is a home tester, is awed by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora that is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also is a rock. It also has a reflux incline option and a machine-washable liner that breathes. It was also shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. The Lora is compatible with a South African cot mattress unlike other international or European brands. This means that you don't have to purchase a new mattress every time your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here. Height When you are choosing a cot for your bed, look for one that can be raised to a height that's comfortable for you when feeding baby. It should also be able to be lower out of the way, so you can lift up your baby to feed them at night or comfort him. This is especially useful if you're recovering from 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. You should also consider the level you would like the base of your crib to be. While some mothers find it easier to lift their children out of the standard Moses baskets at the lowest height, others prefer a higher base to give them more stability. One of our mum testers stated that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular choice. It comes with a collapsible side which you can use to touch one button. Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device is only suitable when your baby can hold his head without assistance, which is usually around 6 months. This is due to the danger of being suffocated. 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 ready for this to ensure they don't get out of bed or get out of bed. Design There are a variety of styles of cribs for bedside use, ranging from simple to luxurious. Some of the more extravagant options include features such as an integrated 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, or a swivelling footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child in order to feed them. Some models can be transformed into an infant bed or cot bed (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed. For instance the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air which was awarded Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category, has a swivelling base that lets you pick up your baby and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without needing to get out of bed. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean births or who require a the bed for extended periods of time. Jasmine is an MFM mom who tried this product at home, said that it was simple to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby, especially after the c-section. Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and includes an easy-to-clean liner, reflux incline, and rocking function. It's a bit larger than other cribs that we've tried, but it folds flat in its travel bag, so it's quite compact when not in use. Leya, MFM mum home tester also appreciated the bedside crib's function. She said it was designed to be used by parents and children. It is a fantastic design that is incredibly easy to manoeuvre and it is super-sturdy. She said that the swivelling bassinet base was fantastic because it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to facilitate access for moms who are recovering from C-sections. Safety The bedside cot's primary safety characteristic is the fact that it can be easily raised or lowered so parents can reach their child to feed or comfort them, or change his or their diaper. This means that it's ideal for new mothers who may still recovering from a C-section. It is recommended to choose a design which lets you lower the bed's side with a single button press. This allows you to raise your child without getting out of the bed. This is particularly crucial as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. Do not add anything that may increase the chance of injury or suffocation, like duvets and pillows which could cause your baby to overheat. The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to issues with the product like gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents), fabric-sided enclosed openings (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents). In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC considered the possibility of additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that they meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. The CPSC found, however that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing the number of incidents where infants are trapped between the bedside rail and an adult bed. A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR concerned multi-use bedside sleepers that can be transformed into different types of furniture, like bassinets or play yards. Several commenters suggested the CPSC add an alternative option to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers that would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that can be removed. Attachments can be permanently attached or disconnected when the product's not being used as a baby bassinet. The CPSC is examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on bedside sleepers. The Commission will consider these comments when voting on the final rule which is expected to be released in November 2021.
