Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots, also known as co-sleepers and bassinets, are designed to let parents sleep close to their children at night, without the risk of SIDS. However they are only recommended for use up to 6 months of age when your baby will need to move into a cot or a moses basket. Mehack Mehack, an MFM home tester, loved the fact that this model features an integrated bassinet that can be used around the home. It also comes with a manual rocking feature. It was also easy to put together and came with its own travel bag for convenient storage. Size Cots and cot beds vary in size and size, with cots being a bit smaller than beds for cots. Cots can also be transformed into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only used by 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. If you want your child (or children) to be able to sleep in the larger cot, it's an excellent idea to choose the larger size. Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested the product at home, was pleased that it was slightly larger than the typical Moses basket, but not too large for her baby’s room. It's easy to lift her baby in and out for feeding or soothing and that the quality is great when compared to other cots she's seen that are flimsy. Another home tester, Emily, likes how the Maxi-Cosi is a versatile product – it's a lift-off bassinet that can be moved around the house, and it rocks too. It also has a reflux incline 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 is a perfect fit for a South African cot mattress unlike some international or European brands. This means you don't need to buy a brand new mattress when your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the perfect mattress for your cot here. Height When selecting a bedside crib, choose one that can be adjusted to a suitable height for you. It must also be lower away from the way, so you can raise your child towards you to feed them at night or soothe him. This feature is particularly helpful if you are recovering from a C-section. small bedside cot and the Tutti Bambini can be adjusted to a 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 the height you would like to set for the base of your cot to be. While some moms find it easier to lift their babies out of the standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, other mums prefer having a higher base that gives them more stability. One of our mom testers mentioned that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It comes with an easily collapsible side that you can push at the press of the button. Be aware that a bedside or bassinet device should only be used when your baby can hold his head without assistance, which is typically about 6 months old. This is due to the risk of inhaling suffocation. You should also be aware that if your child is old enough to turn an existing bedside or bassinet into a cot, you will need to take the sides off when they are ready to do so. This will stop them from climbing out or falling out of the bed. Design There are a variety of bedside cribs, from basic to lavish. The more expensive options could include features like a built-in night light, a soothing centre that plays music and sounds and comes with two levels of vibrations to help soothe your baby to sleep, or even an adjustable base that makes it easier to reach your child for feedings. You can also find models that can be converted to the form of a toddler bed or cot bed (or both) which is ideal when your child is ready to move to their own bigger bed. For instance the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, which won Bronze in the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category, has an adjustable base that allows you to pick up your newborn and transfer them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get out of bed. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from Caesarean or require a the bed for extended periods of time. Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested this product at home, said that it was easy to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby – especially after the C-section. Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which has won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It also includes a machine-washable liner, reflux incline, and rocking feature. It's bigger than the other bedside cribs that we've tested, but it folds into its travel bag to make it a small size when not in use. Leya, MFM mum home tester, also praised the bedside crib's functionality. She said it was designed to be used by parents and infants. It is a fantastic design that is extremely maneuverable and is extremely durable. She also said that the bassinet's pivoting base was fantastic since it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lower to make access easier, especially for new mums recovering from C-sections. Safety A bedside cot that is large and spacious's most important safety characteristic is that it can be easily raised or lowered so parents can reach their child to feed or comfort them, or change his or his or her nappies. This makes it ideal for mothers who still recovering from a C-section. Find a model that lets you lower one side at the press of a button, so you can effortlessly lift your baby without needing to get out of the bed. This is particularly important as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. Do not add anything that may increase the risk of injury or suffocation such as pillowcases and duvets which could cause your baby to become overheated. 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) as well as enclosed openings made of fabric (11) and consumer assembly errors (6 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of introducing additional requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance the products would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets, or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the lowered rail. However, the CPSC found that these requirements are not practical or effective in reducing the number of incidents where infants were trapped between the bedside sleeper and an adult bed. The majority of the incidents covered in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to other modes, such as bassinets or play yards. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add a second clause to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets using an attachment that can be removed. Attachments can be permanently attached or disconnected when the product's not being used as a bassinet for babies. The CPSC is examining these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will take into consideration these comments when it decides on the final rule which is expected to be released in November of 2021.
