The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns A bedside crib is a bassinet-style cot that is attached to the bed's side It makes it easy to reach your baby to feed them without fuss. They are suitable from birth until around six months. The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that newborns sleep in separate cots from their parents' beds. This reduces the chance of SIDS. These best bedside cots can help. 1. Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper and Clear-Vue Arm's Reach was founded by a father and mother team when co-sleeping wasn't an everyday practice. They developed a concept that would allow parents to rest safely with their newborns. It was the first bedside cot, which allows babies to sleep close by without suffocating or falling into the mattress or parent's side of the bed. The Clear-Vue remains in wide use and has an average of 25 years and no reported deaths or injuries. It comes with a fitted sheet and an infant bassinet. The bassinet is designed for infants from five to six months old or until they begin pushing up on their hands and knees, whichever occurs first. The Co-Sleeper can be used as a stand-alone bassinet, or it can attach to the bed of the parent using the included attachment strap and plate. It's easy to transfer between the two modes by a simple pulling of a string however, you must be aware that it doesn't meet the federal standards for a bed that is attached, meaning your baby should never be left unattended in this arrangement of sleeping. McKenna was also awed by the Co-Sleeper's ease of use. She noted that it is simple to lift your baby in and out of the bassinet from the comfort of your bed to feed them during the night or for other requirements. He also praised its safety, stating that the Co-Sleeper is in compliance with all standards for cribs and bassinets and has been available for decades with “probably 1.5 million units sold” and no reported incidents of infant deaths or injuries. In our tests in our tests, the Clear-Vue was the most easy to reach of the cots for bedside use we test. Its swiveling bed and adjustable height made it easier to reach in and comfort your baby. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls, which require you to stand or crouch down to grab your baby. The Clear-Vue is the only one of our top choices that doesn't have a connection to a parent's bed but it was a close second and far better than other beds we tried that were intended to be connected to a parental bed. It is sturdy and solid feel, and lots of storage space. 2. HALO baby bedside crib Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the sole bedside cot that can rotate 360 degrees which brings baby closer, making it easier for parents access and exit. It also has a lowering wall which allows moms to care for their babies without needing to leave the bed.

Two buttons located on the sides of the crib trigger an easy rocking motion that's soothing and comforting for your baby. You can choose between either a slow or energetic tempo, and the gliding function can be locked when your baby is asleep. The only drawback to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for infants which means you'll need to upgrade to a larger cot when your baby is six months old (usually around when they move into their own bedroom).
