Height When selecting a cot for the bed be sure to choose one that can be elevated to a height that is comfortable for you when feeding the baby. bedside co sleeper needs to be able of being dropped down so that you can lift your baby up towards you for night feeds or for soothing. This feature is especially useful when you are recovering from a C-section.

Another thing to think about is how low you want the cot's base to be. Some moms find it is easier to lift their children from standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest level and others prefer a higher height to provide them with more stability.

Be bedside cosleeper that a bedside or bassinet device should only be used in the event that your baby can hold his head up with no assistance, which is usually about 6 months old. This is due to the possibility of being suffocated. Be aware that when your child is old enough to convert the bedside sleeper into a cot you will need to remove the sides when they are able to do this. This will stop them from getting out or falling out of bed. Design There are a variety of bedside cribs, from basic to lavish. Some of the more extravagant options include features such as an inbuilt light and a soothing center that plays music and sounds and has two levels that help to soothe your baby back to sleep. Another option is the swivelling footrest, which makes it easier for you to reach your child to feed them. Certain models can be converted into a toddler bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, for example, won Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot Moses Basket or Crib category. It has a swivelling bottom that allows you to take your baby to the crib and move them to the other side of the crib without having to get out of the bed.

Jasmine is an MFM mother who tested the product at home, said it was easy to operate and made it easier to reach her baby – especially after having a C-section. Chicco Next2me Magic is another alternative. It won Gold in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards as the best Cot, Moses Basket, or Crib. It has a machine-washable interior, reflux incline, and a rocking feature. It's a bit larger than other bedside cribs we 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 appreciated the bedside crib's function. She said it was designed to be used by parents and infants. It is a fantastic design that is incredibly simple to operate and 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 lower to facilitate access, especially for new mums recovering from c-sections. Safety A large bedside cot's main safety characteristic is that it can be easily moved up or down so that parents can reach their baby to feed or comfort him or her nappy. This is ideal for mothers who are recovering from a c-section. You should look for the design that allows you to lower the side of the bed with a single button press. This will allow you to raise your child without getting out of bed. This is particularly important as your baby grows older and more mobile. You should also avoid adding anything to the crib that could increase the chance of suffocation or injury, such as pillows and duvets. These can cause babies to overheat. The NPR of the CPSC NPR includes 24 incidents that are attributed to product issues like gaps between a bedside sleeper (adult bed) and the bedside sleeper (12 incidents) and enclosed openings with fabric sides (11) and consumer disassembly (6 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC considered the possibility of adding more requirements to bedside sleepers. For instance they would need to meet the minimum height requirements for bassinets or at the very least, the maximum height requirements for the rail that is lowered. The CPSC determined, however, that these requirements weren't feasible or effective in reducing number of instances in which infants are trapped between the bedside rail and an adult bed. Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers that could be converted into different modes like bassinets and play yards. Many commenters suggested that CPSC include in the proposed rule a different provision for multi-use bedside beds to allow them to meet the minimum side-height requirement of bassinets by using an attachment that can be connected permanently or disconnected when the product is not being used as a bassinet. The CPSC is examining these and other comments that were received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will consider these comments when deciding on the final rule that is expected to be published in November 2021.
