What Are The Biggest "Myths" About Bedside Cots Could Be A Lie
Bedside Cots
A bedside crib is also known as a bassinet or side sleeper. It attaches to the mattress of the parent and allows the baby to sleep in the same room. They're a safe way to co-sleep, and are a great option for mothers recovering from C-sections.
MFM tester Georgina found the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib extremely quick and simple to assemble (one of the fastest during testing). It's height-adjustable, can tilt to an inclined position for babies who have reflux and is a good travel cot option.
They're secure
Co-sleepers, also known as bedside cots for newborns cots, as they are also known they are specially designed infant sleep solutions that let babies sleep close to their parents without the risk of SIDS. They look like Moses baskets, but are attached to the sides of a parent's bed. One side is open, so parents can easily reach their sleeping infant. They are perfect for families who wish to sleep together but are concerned about the dangers of sharing a bed.
Many people are concerned about the safety and effectiveness of a bassinet or bedside mattress. However, CHOICE found that these products, when used properly, are safe and result in fewer injuries and accidents. They're also a great choice for new parents who are experiencing exhaustion which can result from nighttime feedings and early morning changing nappy. You can monitor the baby and help them when needed.
If you are looking for a bedside cot that is safe, choose one with a mattress that is sturdy and ventilated. A mattress that is breathable can aid in regulating your baby's temperature and prevent them from overheating. It is also recommended to purchase a fitted sheet that is sized to fit your mattress, as well as a nappy changing kit that has waterproof covers and a mat with wipes. You can find all these items on the internet and in stores that specialize in baby products. Do not use second-hand or hand-me-down products. They could have been damaged, recalled or not up to the safety standards.
A high-quality bedside crib is simple to put together and can be taken apart when not in use. Some models can be adjusted to tilt positions, making it easier for infants to sleep in a raised position or for parents suffering from reflux. Some models have bags for travel so that they can be easily put away and taken with you when you're travelling.
It's easy to clean
The best products allow you to clean cots for bed. Remove any bedding like blankets, sheets or toys that are cuddly and wash them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Vacuum the cot, including its mattress. Pay special attention to corners and crevices. A mattress protector can also help to reduce the accumulation of dust mites, bacteria and other germs.
Next, clean the cot with an abrasive cloth soaked with baby-safe cleaner or a natural stain removal spray. Regularly dampen a new cloth to remove soapy residues and keep the cot clean. If the mattress has stains then use a gentle scrub brush to clean them. Add a small amount of baking soda to help eliminate the lingering smells. Always test a small area of the mattress to make sure the cleaning product is safe for your child.
If the cot is taken apart, it will be more accessible to all its surfaces, corners for thorough cleaning and sanitizing. You can apply a mild detergent as well as a warm water solution to clean the mattress and its protector.
If the cot is made from wood, you can clean it using a mixture of white vinegar and warm water. This natural disinfectant kills bacteria, without damaging the wood or leaving harmful residues. Test a small portion of wood to ensure it won't be damaged. Apply the solution using a soft clean cloth, then allow it to dry before taking it apart again.
They are easy to move
A large bedside crib crib, also referred to as a co-sleeper or bedside bassinet, is a specially designed infant sleep solution that allows your child to sleep next to your bed. They are compact, portable and easy to move from room room when required. These cribs are also great when your home is small or you plan on traveling with your child.
As opposed to standard baby beds cribs designed for bedside use are made to be attached to the sides of your bed so that you can easily lift your infant out and back in for night feedings and soothing. These cribs are designed with a drop-down or removable side for easy lifting. They also come with adjustable heights and tilts. Some cribs even convert into full cot beds when your child gets older, providing you with extra longevity and value.
These sleeping solutions are ideal for traveling because they are lightweight and transportable. "It's very compact and small which means it can fit in its own travel bag and be carried throughout the house with ease," says one mum. "My husband can carry it up and down the stairs easily."
The Shnuggle Air next to the crib is another lightweight option, shortlisted in 2021's Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category at the Mother&Baby awards. Gulhan Arapoglu is of the opinion that it is easy to move around and is solid. She adds that it is a little bigger than other cradles that are used for bedside use and isn't recommended for children who might flip or roll.
They're comfortable
The best bedside cribs allow babies to sleep with their parents, but have their own sleeping space. They're usually more compact than a Moses Basket or standard cot and can be folded up and stored away when not in use. They're also easier to reach for nighttime feeding, changing nappy and relaxing. This makes them ideal for new mums recovering from a c-section as they won't have to bend down as much to tend to their baby in the middle of the night.
The crib is also a great choice for parents who are worried about the risks associated with co-sleeping. This is due to the fact that the crib is closer to the parent's bed and has a lower chance of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than sleeping in a standard bassinet or cot. This type of safe co-sleeping is called rooming in and is an important aspect of a baby's initial development.
You can also buy various bedsides with some that come with an inflatable mattress that you can take along on your travels and others that convert into a separate baby cot or toddler bed. Some even come with incline positions which can be great for babies suffering from reflux. There is also a crib that is attached to the bed of the parent, or comes with locking wheels. This will stop the crib from being moved accidentally when the baby is sleeping.
