Baby Bedside Cot A crib for babies (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet cot that can be attached to the side of your bed and allows you to reach out and soothe your baby without needing to get up. Some models come with an inclined feature to relieve reflux. Remember to only sleep with your baby in a bassinet, crib or bedside crib in the event that the mattress is flat and firm to reduce the chance of suffocation. Cot Bedside cots, sometimes referred to as bassinets or cosleepers are a great option to keep your baby close to you in the first few months. The cots are made to fit next to your bed so that you can easily bring your baby closer to feed them at night, or to soothe them to sleep. They're also ideal for mums recovering from the C-section. There are a number of different models available, but one that stands out is the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue. This is shaped as a play yard and has four sides that are two long and can be dropped to the ground (secured with Velcro) to allow you easy access to your baby for those middle-of-the-night feeds. Another option is the Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air that also comes with a drop-down side and can be turned into recliner. This is a fantastic option for babies and toddlers. It provides you with the flexibility to change your baby's sleeping position as they develop. It's worth noting that while bassinets can be used in lieu of traditional cots but Red Nose strongly recommends sleeping your infant in their own cot from the time of birth until six months. This is because SIDS risk is significantly greater when babies share beds, especially with adults, and it's dangerous to allow an infant to sleep in a bassinet that does not comply with the Australian safety standards. Cots are generally safer than bassinets, as they have a fixed height that guarantees there's no gap between your baby's bed and the adult bed. Cots are usually larger and can be converted to full-size or toddler beds as your baby grows. This can save you money. When shopping for bedside travel cot for your baby it is important to think about your budget and the size of your nursery or bedroom when choosing a cot. Be aware that cots are more expensive than bassinets, however, they are a great investment as they will last for a long time and can be used by your child as she grows. You'll also require a mattress for your crib or cot. The mattress should be firm, flat and breathable for your baby to have an adequate night's sleep and decrease the risk of developing breathing problems or pressure sores. Mattresses used in second-hand stores can increase your child's SIDS risk. Find a brand approved by the CPSC that is in line with current guidelines. Be cautious not to over-stuff the crib or use duvets or pillows, bumpers or baby slings. They could be an suffocation threat. A mattress that is breathable for babies must be firm enough to be able to support your baby's back. There are a variety of mattresses for babies on the internet, from budget choices to more luxurious brands. If you're not sure, visit an establishment and try them out for yourself.
