A bedside crib, sometimes referred to as a cosleeper lets your baby sleep close to you at night. It's important that you adhere to the official safe sleeping guidelines from the NHS and Lullaby Trust.

Our mum testers love the SnuzPod's breastfeeding-friendly drop side, 30-second open and fold mechanism and reflux incline function. It's also simple to move around due to its slim frame.

Safety

Bedside cribs are an excellent alternative for families who co-sleep. NHS Safe Sleep advises parents to use a separate surface for their infant and avoid sharing a mattress in order to reduce the risk of suffocation as well as overheating.

When you are choosing a crib for your bed it is essential to make sure that the crib conforms to European safety standards and adheres to Lullaby Trust codes for secure sleep to ensure your child is sleeping in a safe and secure environment. wooden bedside cot cribs that have adjustable height settings can be matched with the bed frame of the parent to decrease the chance of babies becoming trapped in gaps. The cribs have an even, firm mattress that is designed to promote healthy sleep habits.

Most cribs for bed have the option of a panel that can be raised to allow you to securely monitor your baby at night. This means that you can comfortably comfort them, feed and monitor them without having to get out of bed, which is particularly beneficial for mothers who are recovering from c-section births, or those who are unable to move. Some models, like the SnuzPod4, also have a reflux incline function for babies suffering from reflux or digestive issues.

A lower panel can reduce the risk of your child falling off the edge of the crib Some have mesh sides to prevent the stray pillows or duvets from falling in. This is crucial to reduce the risk of SIDS. Babies who roll off their backs are more likely to suffocate.

Keep soft toys and dummies away as they can be risky for suffocation. To ensure your baby bedside crib's safety, you should also ensure that the mattress of your crib is breathable and check regularly for any gaps or loose sheets. Once your baby is able to sit up or stand, usually at the age of 6 months, they will need to move to an cot or another suitable sleeping arrangement. If you're worried about this transition, it is worth speaking to your GP or health visitor.

Comfort

The best bedside cribs offer an environment that is safe and comfortable for your baby to rest. Built to sit beside your bed, they allow you to take care of your little one without getting out of bed and will also allow you to bond with your baby in those precious early months. This sense of security can help you establish a positive routine for your night and enhance the overall quality of sleep your baby gets.

It is recommended to keep your child in a crib beside the bed until they reach 6 months or they are able to stand independently. At this point, it is time to change them to a traditional cot. Bedside cribs are able to accommodate your child up to this age, but it is important to be sure to read the instructions for the product.

When choosing a bedside cot make sure it is in compliance with EN 1130 safety standards. It should also be compatible with your existing bed (most attach to standard bed frames but it is important to double-check the exact dimensions). You should also ensure that your chosen crib has a sturdy flat mattress that is breathable. This is vital to the health of your baby.

Our mum testers who are experts have been talking about the Chicco Next2me Side Sleeping Crib that has a height-adjustable base and can be used as a stand-alone crib or attached to your bed. The crib is light and easy to set up. It provides great value for price. Silvercross Voyager is another of our favourites. Our testers appreciate its versatility, comfortable mattresses and the reflux incline feature.

Space

A bedside crib or cot crib is a device that attaches to the side of the bed. This lets you keep your child close all night long without the danger of co-sleeping, which isn't recommended by the NHS or The Lullaby Trust. Recent times have seen an increase in their popularity with mothers who want to bond with their child while being secure.

They typically feature the lowering panel, which you can use to safely be able to touch and observe your baby, and others that allow you to keep the panel down at night for the ease of feeding and monitoring your baby in a relaxed manner. Some have an incline function for reflux too which most of our test mothers liked for helping digestion and reducing discomfort for infants suffering from reflux or wind.

Some cribs with a bedside also come with adjustable height settings, permitting you to place them at the exact same level as your mattress. This eliminates any gaps which could cause the baby to slip or climb out. This is an important benefit for those recovering from C-sections, because it can be difficult to get in and out of bed as your body heals.

The lowered sides also offer some privacy, which makes them ideal for parents who are concerned about sharing a space with their infant. However, it's important to keep in mind that if you choose to sleep with your child in a crib that is near to bed or a crib, it is still a good practice to follow the official guidelines for safe sleep and not share your bed.

Before purchasing the crib, make sure whether the crib you want to buy will fit your bed frame. Some cribs can be clipped onto bedsteads, whereas others are better suited for divan beds. Don't forget to purchase the right mattress for your crib. These are usually sold separately from the crib and should conform to the latest BS EN1130 safety standards.

Some bedside cribs can also be converted into toddler beds, which can add the longevity of parents who don't want to buy a separate cot for their older child. The SnuzPod4 is one such model, sporting a slim, sleek frame that can be easily tucked into the corner of your bedroom and gives plenty of space for your baby to rest comfortably. It's also easy to assemble, and comes with a convenient bag for travel.

Convenience

One of the great things about a crib that is placed near the bed is that it's easy to lift your baby into and out of bed during nighttime cuddles, feedings and getting to sleep. A majority of cribs have an upper panel that slides down, so you can be able to touch and talk with your child without having to wake them completely or disturb their sleep. Some cribs keep the side panel open all the time. This is great for parents who have had C-sections and want to keep their child close.

Some cribs offer a tilt option, which can help with colic and reflux. It is important to note that the tilting of the crib should only be done by parents who know their baby's medical needs and the history.

Think about how easy it is to clean your crib and if you are able to machine wash it or if you will need to wash it by hand. Some cribs have waterproof covers to guard against leaky nappies and baby sick and dribbles. Some cribs come with a storage bag that makes them ideal for taking on trips when you need to bring your baby along.

Also, you should consider the weight of the crib and is it easy to move from room room. Our 2021 Mother & Baby awards mum tester Jasmine said that the Red Kite Cozysleep next to the crib as "just the right size and lightweight enough to be easy to move around your house. It folds flat, and comes with a bag to take on trips to the grandparents.

We recommend that you read our reviews and ratings to ensure you pick the best crib for your baby. Be aware that a crib might look beautiful and sophisticated but your child will soon outgrow it. So you'll need to move your baby into a cot bed before they start to grow out of it.
