Bedside Crib Or Co-Sleeper In essence, a bedside crib is a cot that resembles a bassinet that fixes to your bed and allows you to access your baby for meals at night or to bring them to sleep. They're especially handy for mums recovering from c-section births. Our parent testers have been raving about the SnuzPod 4 due to its numerous technical features.

Safety A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or baby bassinet) allows your infant to sleep close to you at night but in their own crib, which keeps them safe from the dangers of overheating and SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). It's important to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer for weight limits and that the mattress of your child fits comfortably. If gaps exist this could increase the chance of being entangled, which is a risk that is serious. It's also important to keep the crib clear of items that can present a suffocation hazard, including blankets, pillows and toys. Look for a crib with mesh panels on the side that is visible and a mattress that is firm, flat, and breathable. The slats should be placed not more than 2 3/8 inches apart, and the headboard should be lower than the footboard so your baby cannot climb out of the crib or put their head over the footboard. Many models also feature an integrated changing table, shelves for storing diapers and wipes, rockers night lights and music. These are all great features however, your baby should stay in the crib until they can stand or sit up. This usually occurs around 6 months. It's also important to choose a crib that does not have corner posts, as these can be dangerous to your baby by creating areas where their head or limbs might be trapped. If you have a crib that contains corner posts, think about removing them to avoid your child becoming entangled in their clothing or toys. Also, ensure that you keep the crib clear of window blind and drape cords as your baby may become entangled in them and fall or be strangled. Make sure that the cot is still safe for use if you're using an old cot. It should be in good working order and sturdy, with no loose pieces. It should not have rough surfaces or holes. It is also crucial to check whether the cot has been stripped down and painted. Cots that were made prior to 1973 may have had leaded paint, which can be toxic for babies.
