Bedside Sleeper Cot A bedside sleeper (also called a bassinet) is attached to the bed's side so that your baby can be close enough to feed at night while still being safe in their own space to sleep. Our mothers love that they are easy to reach and also pivot the sides and lower them to be closer. Safety A bedside sleeper cot lets infants to stay within reach of parents' beds for nighttime feeding, as well as monitoring and comfort, without exposing them to the dangers associated with sharing beds (which could result in Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). The cots are designed to adhere to NHS guidelines for co-sleeping and are endorsed by childcare experts, such as the director of the Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory Dr McKenna. They also provide immediate nursing support and help babies feel more secure by keeping them close to their parents, creating healthy attachments that aid in the development of milestones. It's important that parents look for bassinets that are easy to clean and safe to use. ensure they have been tested and certified by a trusted agency such as JPMA. In bedside crib and travel cot , ASTM updated their version of the standard F2906 that is voluntary for bedside sleepers in response to the latest products that convert from a bassinet for babies to a bedside sleeping device by lowering a side rail adjacent to an adult bed. This allows some portions of the lower side to be elevated above the mattress and presents an increased risk of being entangled. The CPSC's direct rule incorporates this 2023 revision to the current mandatory standard set under section 104 of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) for sturdy toddler or infant products that have been used for longer than 180 days and is expected to reduce the risk of injuries. Be aware that a bassinet or bedside sleeper, should never be used in combination with blankets or pillows. This can be a suffocation hazard as babies are unable to lift their heads high enough to keep them away from soft objects. A reclining position can cause the head tip to move forward, thereby blocking their airway. Always put your child on their back when using a bassinet, a crib or play yard. Use a fitted sheet that is in compliance with the federal requirements. Convenience Having your baby close to you at night can help build a bond between newborns and their parents. Bassets for bedside sleepers are firmly attached on the side of your mattress and allow you to reach your baby easily for diaper changes, feedings and comforting in middle of the night.

It is crucial that the bassinet you select is certified as safe for infants by an independent testing organisation, and meets all the specifications of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Look for a model with an option for manual rocking that is gentle on your baby and will aid in settling them down. Some models have tilt features which can be beneficial for babies suffering from reflux or colic. However, this is only recommended on the advice of your doctor or health care professional. Some bassinets come with mattresses, while others require that you purchase a mattress separately. Purchase a mattress that is designed to be a perfect fit for the bedside sleeper. Second-hand mattresses can be too soft, and may cause SIDS. Also, you will need to purchase a breathable fitted sheet for your bed and a muslin baby blanket. Make sure the fabric lining and foam mattress can be machine washed to make it easier to clean. A basket or shelf for storage can be a useful feature to store necessities like nappies clothing, muslins, and clothes. You can find models with wheels to enable it to be moved around the house.

Certain models can also tilt to support reflux. The curving sides allow you to see and lift your baby up for a feeding. They won't roll off the side. Some cots with a bedside sleeper include an automatic rocking function which can soothe your baby and help them to return to sleep quicker after feeding.

Certain models are equipped with gentle rocking or vibration functions that can help aid in calming your baby. The storage space is also a bonus for breastfeeding mums.
