The Best Bedside Cot For Newborns A bedside crib is a bassinet-style cot that can be attached to the side of your bed, making it easy to reach your baby for a relaxed night's feeding. These are suitable for infants from birth to six months. The Lullaby Trust and the NHS both recommend that newborns are kept in separate cots from their parents in their beds. This will lower the risk of SIDS. These best bedside cribs can help. 1. Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper and Clear-Vue In the early days of co-sleeping, a novel idea, a mother-and-father team came together to form Arm's Reach and came up with a design that would allow parents to comfortably sleep with their infants. It was the first bedside cot that allowed babies to sleep near without suffocating or falling into the mattress or parent's side of the bed. Clear-Vue has been in use for over 25 years, and there haven't been any reported fatalities or injuries. It comes with leg extensions built-in to allow for different mattress heights. It also comes with sheets and a fitted cover. The bassinet is meant for infants from five to six months or until they begin pushing up on their hands and knees depending on when that happens. The Co-Sleeper can be used as a stand-alone, standalone bassinet or it can attach to the parent's bed using the attached strap and plate. The Co-Sleeper is easy to switch between the two modes by pulling strings. However it doesn't meet federal standards for an attached bed. Therefore, your child should not be left alone. McKenna was impressed with the Co-Sleeper's accessibility, noting that it's easy to lift infants into and out of the bassinet during meals in the middle of the night or other requirements from your bed. He also praised the safety of the Co-Sleeper as it meets all crib and baby bassinet standards. It has been on the marketplace for decades and “about 1.5 million units have been sold” with no reported infant deaths or injuries. In our tests, the Clear-Vue was the most easy to get into of the cots for bedside use we test. Its swiveling sleep area and adjustable height allowed you to easily reach into and soothe your baby. The Clear-Vue does not have lower sidewalls which require you to stand or crouch down to retrieve your baby. The Clear-Vue was the only model in our top five that didn't connect to the bed of the parent. It was a close second and far superior to a few of those we evaluated that were made to be connected to parent beds. It is sturdy and solid, with plenty of storage. 2. HALO Bassinest The HALO Swivel Bassinest Sleeper is the sole bedside cot that rotates 360 degrees which brings baby closer, making it easier for parents get in and out. It also has a lower wall that lets moms tend to their infants without getting out of bed—a huge benefit for nursing mothers who require help with their cluster feeding newborns in the early weeks and months after delivery. The Bassinest has mesh side walls to allow airflow as well as an swivel feature for parents who wish to watch the baby throughout the night. The ability to watch the baby and keep them close to them can make a huge difference in the grumpy delirium that comes with new parenthood. The Bassinest scored well in the Convenience Assessment, which rates features that make it easy to use and clean. This is a must for anyone who must deal with spit ups and diaper blowouts during the first few weeks of life. The Bassinest is light and can be easily wiped down with water, and the mattress pad is washable as well. The bassinest also has an accessory pouch which is ideal to store things like diapers and nipple cream which are indispensable during the sleep-deprived first days of motherhood. There are a variety of versions of the Bassinest. One is the standard Essentia that comes with no additional features. There is also the LUXE Plus series, which has white noise and vibrating to help babies fall asleep and stay asleep. Both models come with a fitted sheet, mattress pad, and a storage bag that's larger than the other Bassinest alternatives. The LUXE PLUS series also has an adjustable wall lock that lowers, a sturdy and stable base that adjusts to fit most beds between 22” to 34”, a floor lamp that allows you to see your newborn throughout the day and a storage caddy that can hold any additional bedding or items. The size and weight of this item make it unsuitable for travel but its swivel feature is perfect to keep your baby close at home. 3. Joie Roomie Glide This co-sleeper by English brand Joie was created to create parent-baby bonds a dream. It is more than just a crib.

You can choose to go at a slow or a lively pace. The glide feature can be locked once your baby has fallen asleep. The only drawback to the Roomie Glide is that it's only suitable for newborns, so you'll need to upgrade to a full-size cot once your baby turns six months old (usually around the time they move into their own room). Roanna found it to be a fantastic crib and would recommend it. 4. Bjorn Cradle The Bjorn Cradle makes a great option for parents looking for a chic simple bedside cot.
