Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots (also known as co-sleepers and bassinets) are designed to let parents rest with their baby at night without fear of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months, after which your baby is ready to be moved to the bed. MFM home tester Mehack was impressed that this model features a bassinet that can be lifted off to use around the house and a manual rocking function. It was simple to put together, and even came with a travel bag. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. Cots can also convert into toddler beds. However cots are generally used by children up to the age of three. If you're considering a wooden cot, there are typically two sizes available – standard and large – both of which can be converted into a cot bed/toddler bed. If you want your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in a larger cot, it's a good option to select the larger one. MFM mother home test Jasmine was pleased that this bedside cot was slightly bigger than a Moses basket but not too big for her baby's room. It's easy to get her baby into and out of the cot for nighttime feeding or soothing and that the quality is great when compared to other cots she's seen that are flimsy. Emily who is a home-based tester, is thrilled by the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora that is a portable, lift-off bassinet. It also is a rock. It also comes with an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that breathes. It was also shortlisted in the 2021 Mother&Baby awards for the best Cot Crib, Crib, or Moses Basket. Unlike some International or European cot brands The Lora can be fitted with South African cot mattresses so you don't need to buy a new mattress as your baby grows. It requires a specific bedding set (60x120cm). You can find the right mattress for your cot here. Height When you are choosing a cot for your bed, look for one that can be elevated to a height that is comfortable for you when feeding the baby. It must also be able of being dropped to the ground so that you can lift your baby up towards you during night feedings or to soothe. This feature is particularly helpful in the event of recovering from a C Section. For example, the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to the height of 58cm. the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm. Another thing to think about is how low you want the base of your cot. Some mothers find it is easier to lift their children from standard Moses baskets when the base is at the lowest point, while some prefer a higher height to provide them with more stability. One of our testers for mums mentioned that the Joie Roomie Glide was a popular option. It is an easy-to-fold side that you can push at the push of a button. Be aware that a bassinet/bedside sleeper should not be used until your baby can hold their head up without assistance typically approximately 6 months. This is due to the possibility of inhaling suffocation. It's also important to note that if you opt for a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a crib, you will need to remove the sides as soon as your child is able to do this, so that they don't get out of bed or get out of the bed. Design There are a variety of cribs for beds with a range of styles from simple to lavish. The most luxurious models could include features such as an integrated night light and a calming centre that plays sounds and music and comes with two levels of vibrating to help soothe your baby back to sleep, or even a swivelling base that allows you to easily reach your baby for feedings. Some models can be transformed into a toddler bed or cot (or both) when your child is ready for their own bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air, for example has won Bronze at the 2021 Mother and Baby Awards in the Best Cot Moses Basket or Crib category. It has a swivelling bottom that lets you take your baby to the crib and move them to the opposite side of the crib without getting out of bed. This is ideal for new mothers recovering from Caesarean sections, or those who need to stay in bed for long periods of time. MFM mum home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying it was simple to use and made reaching her baby much easier – especially after her c-section. Another option is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which won Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Award in the category of the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket. It is equipped with a machine-washable liner, reflux incline and rocking feature. It's bigger than other bedside cribs that we've tested, however it folds up into its bag for travel, making it a small size when not in use. MFM mum home tester Leya also appreciated the function of this bedside crib she explained how it was created with babies and parents in mind. It is lightweight and easy to move. She said that the bassinet's pivoting base was brilliant since it allowed you to move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to make access easier for moms who are recovering from C-sections. Safety The main safety aspect of a large bedside cot is that it can be easily adjusted or moved to allow parents to reach their child when they require to feed them, soothe them, or change their nappies. This makes it perfect for new mothers recovering from the c-section. Find a model that lets you lower one side at the push of a button. This way, you can easily lift your baby up without having to get out of the bed. This is crucial, particularly when your baby grows and becomes more mobile. It is also important to avoid adding anything to the crib that could increase the risk of suffocation or injury, like duvets and pillows, which can cause babies to overheat. The NPR of the CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product problems that included gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents) Fabric-side enclosed openings (11 incidents) as well as consumer misassembly, or missing components (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR In its NPR, the CPSC considered the possibility of adding additional requirements for sleepers in bed, such as the requirement that these products meet the minimum side height requirement for bassinets, or at a minimum, meet the maximum height requirement for the side rail. However the CPSC found that these requirements would not be feasible or effective to reduce the number of incidents in which infants were entrapped between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed. Many of the reported incidents in the NPR included multi-use bedside sleepers which can be converted to other types of use, such as play yards and bassinets. bedside cot used of commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative provision to the proposed rule for bedside sleepers that are multi-use that would allow them to meet the minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that is removable. The attachment can be permanently connected or removed when the product is not being used as a baby bassinet. The CPSC is examining these comments as well as other submissions received in response to the NPR on bedside sleeping. The Commission will consider these comments when it votes on the final rule, which is expected to come out in November 2021.
