Choosing a Large Bedside Cot Bedside cots also called cosleepers or bassinets are designed to let parents rest with their baby at night without fear of SIDS They are recommended for up to 6 months after which your baby is old enough to be moved to an actual crib MFM home tester Mehack was impressed that this model features a bassinet that can be lifted off to use around the house and the ability to rock manually It was also easy to put together and came in its own travel bag for convenient storage Size Cots and cot beds vary in size and size with cots being a bit smaller than cot beds They also can be converted into toddler beds while the cot beds are typically used up to three years older If youre looking for a wooden cot youll find two sizes available both large and standard both of which convert into a toddler bed or cot mattress If you want your child or children to be comfortable sleeping in a larger cot its a good idea to choose the larger size Jasmine is an MFM mum who tested the product at home was pleased that it was slightly larger than a Moses basket but not too large for the room of her baby She says that it is easy to lift the baby in and out of the cot during evening feedings or to soothe and that its quality is superior to others she has seen that are less sturdy Emily another home tester is awed by the versatility of the MaxiCosi lora which is a portable liftoff bassinet It also is a rock It also has a reflux incline option and a machinewashable liner that breathes It was also shortlisted for the 2021 MotherBaby awards for 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 dont need to purchase another mattress as your baby grows However it does require a special bespoke bedding set 60x120cm You can find the right mattress for your cot here Height When choosing a bedside cot look for one that can be elevated to a height that is comfortable for you when feeding baby It must also be lower out of the way so you can raise your child towards you to feed them at night or comfort him This feature is especially useful if you are recovering from a Csection For instance the Next2me and Tutti Bambini cots can be adjusted up to an elevation of 58cm the Snuzpod 3 goes up to 63cm and the Knuma huddle up to 70cm You should also consider the level youd like the base of your crib to be Some moms find it is easier to lift their babies from standard Moses baskets if the base is at the lowest level while others prefer a higher elevation to give them more stability The Joie Roomie Glide is a popular option with one of our mom testers saying that it has an easytouse collapsible side that is easy to use at the push of a button Remember that a bassinetbedside sleeping device is only suitable when your baby can hold his head up with no assistance which is typically around 6 months This is due to the possibility of suffocation It is also important to remember that if you select a bassinetbedside sleeper that can be converted into a crib and vice versa you must remove the sides as soon as your child is ready for this so that they dont

or a center of calm which plays music and sounds and has two levels to help soothe your baby back to sleep Another option is a swivelling footrest that makes it easier for you to reach your child to feed them Some models can be converted into a toddler bed or cot or both when your child is ready to go to their own bed For example the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air that won Bronze in the 2021 MotherBaby Awards for the Best Crib Cot or Moses Basket category has a swivelling base that lets you pick up your newborn and move them from one side of the crib to the other without having to get out of bed

to use and made it easier for her to reach her baby especially after the Csection Another alternative is the Chicco Next2me Magic which has won Gold at the 2021 MotherBaby Awards for the category of Best Cot Crib or Moses Basket It includes a machinewashable liner reflux incline and rocking feature Its a bit larger than some of the other cribs that weve looked at but it folds flat in its bag for travel so its relatively compact when not in use MFM mum home test Leya loved the practicality of this crib for bed she explained how it was created with babies and parents in mind It is a fantastic design that is incredibly easy to manoeuvre and it is supersturdy Its swivelling base is brilliant as it means you can move the bassinet side to side and one of its sides can be let down to facilitate access especially for mothers who are recovering from their Csections she added Safety The main safety characteristic of a bedside cot is that it can be easily moved up or down to allow parents to reach their baby when they require to feed them soothe them or change their nappy This makes it ideal for mothers who are recovering from an csection Choose a model that lets you lower one side at the press of a button so you can easily lift your baby up without getting out of the bed This is essential especially when your baby grows and becomes more mobile Do not add anything that may increase the

between the bedside sleeper adult bed and the bedside sleeper 12 incidents fabricsided enclosed openings 11 and consumer assembly errors 6 incidents In bedside cot co sleeper in its NPR the CPSC looked into the possibility of additional requirements for sleepers in bed such as the requirement that they satisfy the minimum side height requirement for bassinets or at a minimum meet the maximum height requirement for the lowered side rail The CPSC decided however that these requirements were not practical or effective in reducing number of incidents where infants are trapped between the bedside rail and an adult bed A majority of the incidents mentioned in the NPR focused on multiuse bedside sleepers which can be converted to other modes such as bassinets or play yards A number of commenters suggested that the CPSC include in the proposed rule an alternative provision for multiuse bedside sleepers that would enable them to meet the minimum sideheight requirement for bassinets through the use of an attachment that is removable and can be connected permanently or disconnected when the product is not being used as an actual bassinet The CPSC is examining these and other comments received in response to its NPR on sleepers who are bedside The Commission will consider these comments when it votes on the final rule that is expected to be published in November 2021
