Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots, also known as co-sleepers and bassinets, are designed to allow parents to rest close to their children at night without the danger of SIDS. However, they are only suggested for use until 6 months of age when your baby will need to be moved into a cot, or a moses basket. MFM home tester Mehack loved that this model has a bassinet that can be lifted off to use around the house and a manual rocking function. It was also simple to put together and came with its own travel bag for easy storage. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. They also can be converted into toddler beds, whereas cot beds are generally only used up to three years older. If you're opting for a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes to choose from both large and standard both of which can be converted into a toddler bed or cot bed. Selecting the larger of the two is a good idea if you want your child to sleep in it until the age of at least three years old. Jasmine is an MFM mother who tested the product at home, liked the fact that it was a little bigger than the typical Moses basket, but not too big for her baby’s room. She says that it is easy to get the baby into and out of the cot during night feedings or soothing and that the quality is far superior to other cots she has seen that are cheap and flimsy. Emily is another home-based tester, is thrilled by the flexibility of the Maxi-Cosi lora that is a lift-off, mobile bassinet. It also is a rock. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that is breathable. It was also shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. The Lora is a perfect fit for a South African cot mattress unlike some international or European brands. This means that you do not need to purchase an entirely new mattress each time your baby grows. However, it requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Here's the ideal mattress for your cot. Height When selecting a cot for the bed choose one that can be raised to a level that is comfortable for feeding your the baby. It must also be lowered out of the way, so that you can pull your child towards you to feed them at night or to soothe him. This is particularly useful in the event of recovering from a C section. For instance, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to a height of 58cm while 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. Some mothers find it is easier to lift their babies from their standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest level, while some prefer a higher height to provide them with more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular choice, with one of our mum testers stating that it has an easy-to-use collapsible part that you can use at the push of one 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 at around 6 months. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. You should also be aware that when your child is old enough to turn a bassinet/bedside sleeping system into a cot, you will have to remove the sides once they are ready to do so. This will prevent them from falling out or climbing out of bed. Design There are many styles of cribs that are bedside, ranging from basic to extravagant. The more expensive options could include features like a built-in night light or a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels of vibration to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or the swivelling base which makes it easier to get your baby's food in the right place. Some models can be converted into the toddler bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance has won Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards in the Best Cot Moses Basket or Crib category. It is a swivelling base that allows you to pick up your baby and transfer them to the opposite side of the crib without getting out of the bed. This is great for new mums recovering from Caesarean births or who have to remain in bed for long periods of time. Jasmine is an MFM mum who tested this product at home, said that it was easy to operate and made it easier to reach her baby, especially after a c-section. Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It was awarded Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib. It is machine washable and comes with a liner, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. It's slightly larger than other cribs that we've tried, but it folds flat into its travel bag so it's quite compact when not in use. MFM mom home tester Leya also appreciated the function of this bedside crib, explaining how it was designed with babies and parents in mind. It is a fantastic design that is incredibly simple to operate and is super-sturdy. Its swivelling base is brilliant as it means you can move the bassinet side to side and one of its sides can be lowered down to ease access especially for mothers who are recovering from their C-sections,' she added. Safety The most important safety feature of a large bedside cot is that it can be moved up or down to allow parents to reach their child when they require to feed them, comfort them, or change their nappies. This makes it ideal for mothers who are still recovering from a C-section. Find rocking bedside crib that allows you to lower one side with the press of a button, so you can effortlessly lift your baby without getting out of bed. This is particularly crucial as your baby grows older and becomes more mobile. Beware of items that could increase the risk of injury or suffocation, such as pillowcases and duvets that can cause your baby to become overheated. The NPR released by the CPSC NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems that included gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11 incidents) as well as consumer misassembly, or missing parts (6 incidents) and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC looked into the possibility of adding additional requirements for bedside sleepers, such as the requirement that these products satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at the very least, 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 entrapped by the bedside rail and an adult bed. A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR focused on multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted into other types of equipment, like play yards or bassinets. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multi-use bedside sleepers that would allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets through the use of a removable attachment that can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as an actual bassinet. The CPSC is examining these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR on sleep at night. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule, which is expected to be released in November of 2021.
