Models that have adjustable height settings will fit perfectly on all bed frames. Look for fabrics that are easy to clean and breathable. Safety A bedside cot could be described as a bassinet which is connected to the side of a bed to ensure safe cosleeping. It can be used to lift baby up towards you at night for feeding or soothing. it's also a great option for the need for a C-section. It differs from a Moses Basket or Cot because it has high walls so your baby cannot escape. Some have a tilt function which can help babies suffering from reflux and colic. They're also a bit bigger than Moses baskets, which could make them easier to move from room to room. The NHS and safe sleep charity The Lullaby Trust advise that newborns should be placed in their own cot or bassinet in the same room as their parents, but not in your bed. Sharing beds increases the risk of overheating or suffocation. Bedside cribs offer the best of both worlds, giving your baby the opportunity to be close to you throughout the night, but still in their own secure and private sleeping space. Check that the crib meets the most current safety standards. It must be BS EN1130:2019. Also, ensure that there are no gaps or parts where your baby could get trapped. Also make sure you choose a mattress that's firm and flat. A sagging or too soft mattress could increase your baby's risk of SIDS, so choose for a new one instead of second-hand. Make sure your bedding is well-fitted and does not have pillows or blankets that are loose. Duvets and pillows could suffocate your baby, while pillows can stick to their face. It's best to make use of a fitted sheet instead, but make sure it's fitted correctly.
