What is a bedside crib co sleeper cot?
A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet or co-sleeper is a baby cot attached to your adult bed. This allows your child to sleep right next to you in safety. This is a form of co-sleeping in a safe manner that does not increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing and can help you build a bond with your new arrival.
The cots usually have a side that is able to be lowered, so you can easily reach your baby throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is especially useful for mums recovering from the c-section. Many of them are portable or foldable so you can use them for travel and as a temporary solution for newborns who aren't quite ready to be able to transition to a larger crib.
Find a crib that has a breathable mattress, and an extra-safe cover that will protect your baby from staining. You'll also want to pick up some baby-safe add-ons such as a blanket and a cuddly toys.
If you're looking for a long-term option, some cribs come with conversion kits that allow you to turn them into a cot or toddler bed at the time of need. This will extend their life and make the transition easier. Some even have a detachable top section that can be converted into an infant bed, and some can be used as a regular or a high-rise adult bed. This is an excellent choice for families that intend to travel frequently or change between bedrooms in the evening. Be aware of the dimensions of your bedroom to ensure that you fit comfortably in the crib. A lot of cribs have an riser that can be used to create an inclined position for babies who suffer from reflux.
The Joie Roomie Glide
The Roomie Glide, a bedside crib manufactured by the English brand Joie is a fantastic addition to their range of high-quality products for babies. This crib was designed to help parents connect and sleep side-by-side with their children without sharing one bed. It's loaded with features that help make bonding between parent and baby safe, easy, and fun.
A gentle rocking motion can be activated by pressing the button. It can help soothe baby to sleep with a gentle beat that doesn't disrupt their normal sleeping routine. This is ideal for toddlers and older babies who are struggling to settle. It can also help with digestive issues like reflux and colic.
The crib can be locked into place once the rocking is completed to stop it from moving. It can be secured to the bed's side by a strap and clip attachment. This makes it very stable and secure, allowing you to enjoy a great night's sleep without having to worry about your baby rolling off into the middle of the room. The rounded shape of the cocoon features soft padding on the sides and double mesh windows on both ends. This allows for airflow while ensuring your baby's safety.
The included mattress is comfortable and firm. It includes a washable cover. The crib is simple to set up and disassemble thanks to an aluminum frame that is lightweight and makes it very portable. The four locking wheels are covered with rubber to ensure that the crib won't leave marks on your floor and are easy to move around. It is easy to clean with wipeable woven fabrics and is simple to tote in a backpack, which makes it ideal for extended stays away from home.
The TuttiBambini Air
This model is made to be a safe, next-to-me-crib from birth to 6 months. It has rocking bars to make it easy to move and castors. The airflow mattress is a premium model that provides an incredibly comfortable sleeping surface, while the ventilation panels keep your baby cool. There are six different height settings including an incline setting to aid with congestion and reflux.
In contrast to other cribs for bed, which can be a challenge to clean due to their endless stream of dribble and snot, the Tutti Bambini CoZeeAir comes with a wipe-clean liner and fabric that can be removed to wash in the machine. Plus, it has a top bar that can be easily adjusted for nighttime feeds without needing to fumble with zips in the dark.
Anna discovered that the CoZee was a safe and comfy place to sleep for her baby. She loved that it didn't sway like some other models, which meant it wasn't waking her in the night when she was trying to soothe her baby for feeds. She also loved that the side lowered down so she didn't need to reach out over her partner to pull the baby for feedings at night.
The CoZee is available in charcoal and oak and was a stylish addition to the bedroom. It's more stylish than other cribs we've tried, which are often quite utilitarian. It's also quite light at 11kg and comes with a carry bag so you can take it away on holidays or if moving house. The only extras you require are a fitted waterproof sheet and a safety strap for co-sleeping. The instructions and illustrations are easy to follow once you open the box.
The Maxi-Cosi lora
The Iora is a bassinet for infants designed to help parents feel more connected to their infant while they sleep. It can be adjusted upwards and downwards and shifted through three different slide positions, to fit beside the parent's bed or in the corner, so the baby is always in reach. The mesh siding allows air to flow through, and allows you to see your baby quickly. You can also store additional pajamas or other items in the large basket underneath.
As opposed to other bedside crib with wheels cribs Iora is a standout among other twin bedside cot cribs. Iora can be folded flat and comes with a travel bag to allow it to be taken wherever. Our mom testers were able to move it from room to room, and believed it was a great size for a small bedside cot, not too big or too small. They also liked the large bedside cot storage basket, perfect for storing nappies or bedding.
This is a great choice for parents who are looking to sleep in a co-sleeping arrangement but don't want to share their beds, or whose partners might be suffering from mobility issues, such as arthritis or back pain. Our mom testers love the ease with which they can access their baby in the Iora and that it comes with an optional reflux incline to help alleviate gas.
Our mothers love that it follows NICE guidelines. These are to place the infant in a Moses basket or crib on its own, without toys, blankets or pillows. The mattress is also a good firm and comfortable for babies, and sheets are easy to find. It's not as light as other cribs for bedside use however, so if you want something lighter and easier to move around, consider one of the other options on our list.
