Bedside Cot 6 Months Plus<br /><br />Bedside sleepers allow you to keep your baby close in the same room as you are without the risk of sharing a bed, which is associated with an increased risk of death from suffocation. They are also a great choice for newborns.<br /><br />Find models with an adjustable height which gives a perfect fit on most bed frames. Also look for breathable fabrics that are easy to clean.<br /><br />Safety<br /><br />A bedside cot is basically a bassinet-style cot that fixes to the side of your bed to ensure secure co-sleeping. It can be used to lift your baby towards you to provide comfort, feed or to help soothe them at the end of the night. It's also a great alternative if you've have had a c section. It's different from a Moses basket or cot as it has high sides so your baby can't be pushed out. Some models have a tilt function which can help babies with reflux and colic. They are also a bit larger than Moses baskets, making them easier to move from room room.<br /><br />The NHS and The Lullaby Trust, a safe sleep charity, recommend that babies be placed in a bassinet or cot in same room with their parents. They shouldn't be in your bed. Bed-sharing increases the risks of suffocation or overheating. Bedside cribs permit your baby to sleep close to you but in a secure and separate space.<br /><br />When selecting a crib that is bedside make sure it is in compliance with the most recent safety standards (it must be BS EN 1130:2019) and has no gaps or parts that could cause your baby to be trapped. Also consider mattresses that are solid and flat. A sagging or too soft mattress could increase the risk of SIDS, so opt for a new one instead of second-hand.<br /><br />Lastly, look for a bedding that is fitted and free from any loose blankets or pillows. Duvets and pillows could suffocate your baby, and pillows can stick to their face. Use a fitted sheet, however, make sure it is properly fitted.<br /><br />The SnuzPod4 was highly rated by our MFM mother test participants as a crib that is suitable for use in bed. <a href="https://posteezy.com/15-most-popular-best-bedside-cot-uk-bloggers-you-need-follow">bedside cot used</a> has been nominated for the 2021 Mother&amp;Baby Awards under the category of the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib.
