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 risk of SIDS. They are only recommended up to 6 months, after which your baby is ready to move to the bed. Mehack is an MFM home tester, was awed by the fact that this model features an integrated bassinet that can be used all around the home. It also features the ability to rock manually. It was also simple to assemble and came in its own bag for easy storage. Size Cots are smaller than cots. They are smaller than. Cots can also be converted into toddler beds. However, cots are usually only used by children up to the age of three. If you're considering a wooden cot, there are usually two sizes to choose from both large and standard both of which can be converted into a toddler bed or cot mattress. If you wish for your child (or children) to be comfortable sleeping in a bigger cot, it's an excellent option to select the larger size. Jasmine, a MFM mum who tested the product at home, liked the fact that it was a little bigger than a Moses basket, but not too big for the room of her baby. She says that it is easy to get the baby in and out of the cot during night feeds or for soothing, and that its quality is superior to others she has seen that are flimsy. Emily, another home tester, loves the versatility of the Maxi-Cosi Lora that is a lift-off, portable bassinet. It also rocks. It also has an incline for reflux and a machine washable liner that is breathable. It was also nominated for the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards in the Best Cot or Moses Basket category. Contrary to some International or European cot brands The Lora can fit South African cot mattresses so you don't need to purchase a new mattress as your baby grows. It will require a specific bedding set (60x120cm). Here is the perfect mattress for your cot. Height When choosing a bedside cot be sure to choose one that can be raised to a height that's comfortable for you when feeding babies. It should also be able to be lowered to a level that is not in the way so you can lift up your baby to feed them at night or to soothe him. This feature is especially helpful if you're recovering from C-section. For instance the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted to a height of 58cm while the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm, and the Knuma Huddle up to 70cm. Another thing to think about is the height you would like to set for the base of your cot. While some moms find it easier to get their babies out of the standard Moses baskets at the smallest height, other mums prefer a higher base to give them more stability. The Joie Roomie Glide is a well-liked option and one of our mom testers saying that it is easy to use with a collapsible part that you can push down with the click of one button. Keep in mind that a bassinet or bedside sleeping device is only suitable in the event that your baby can hold his head without assistance, which is usually at around 6 months. This is due to the risk of inhaling suffocation. It's also important to know that if you choose a bassinet/bedside sleeper that can be converted into a crib, you will need to begin removing the sides once your child is able to do this to ensure they don't get out of bed or get out of the bed. Design There are many styles of cribs for bedside use, ranging from basic to lavish. The most luxurious models could include features like an integrated night light and a calming centre that plays music and sounds and offers two levels of vibrations to help soothe your baby to sleep, or a swivelling base that makes it easier to reach your child for feedings. You may also find some models that can be converted to an infant bed or a toddler bed (or both) ideal for when your child is ready to move to a bigger bed. The Tutti Bambini CoZee Air for instance, won Bronze at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Moses Basket or Crib category. It features a swivelling bottom that lets you pick up your baby and transfer them to the other side of the crib without having to get out of the bed. This makes it ideal for new mums who are recovering from Caesarean or require bed for longer periods of time. MFM mom home tester Jasmine loved this feature, saying that it was simple to use and made her baby much more manageable – especially after her c-section. Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic, which was awarded Gold at the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards for the Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket and is equipped with a machine-washable liner, reflux incline and rocking feature. It's slightly larger than the other bedside cribs we tested but it folds flat in its travel bag so it is relatively compact when not in use. Leya, MFM mum home tester, also appreciated the bedside crib's function. She said it was designed for parents and infants. It has a great design that is incredibly simple to operate and is extremely durable. She also said that the bassinet's swivelling base was fantastic because it let you move it from side to side. One of its sides could be lowered to facilitate access, especially for new mums recovering from C-sections. Safety The bedside cot's primary safety characteristic is that it can be easily raised or lowered so parents can reach their child to feed, comfort or change his or her diaper. This is why it's perfect for new mothers who may still recovering from a C section. Choose a model that allows you to lower one side at the push of a button, so you can easily lift your baby up without having to get out of the bed. This is especially important as your baby gets older and more mobile. You should also avoid adding anything to the crib that increases the chance of suffocation or injury, including pillows and duvets, which can cause babies to overheat. The CPSC's NPR included 24 incidents that were attributed to product issues like gaps between the bedside sleeper and the adult bed (12 incidents); fabric-sided enclosed openings (11 incidents) and consumer misassembly or missing components (6 incidents); and miscellaneous other product-related issues (9 incidents). In its NPR the CPSC examined 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 rails that are lowered. The CPSC determined, however, that these requirements weren't feasible or effective in reducing the number of incidents where infants are trapped by a bedside rail and an adult bed. A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR included multi-use bedside beds that can be transformed into other types of equipment, like play yards or bassinets. A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC add an alternative provision to the proposed rule for multi-use bedside sleepers that would permit them to meet minimum side height requirements for bassinets by using an attachment that can be removed. Attachments can be permanently connected or disconnected when the product's not being used as a bassinet for babies. bedside crib and cot is considering these and other comments received in response to its NPR regarding bedside sleepers. The Commission will be examining these comments when deciding on the final rule, which is expected to be issued in November of 2021.
