Why Baby Bedside Cot Is So Helpful In COVID-19

A baby bedside crib (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet-style cot that attaches to the mattress's side. This lets you touch your baby and soothe him without having to get up from your mattress. Some models come with an incline feature to relieve reflux.

You should only put your baby to sleep in a crib or bassinet when the mattress is firm and flat. This will decrease the possibility of him being suffocated.

Cot

bedside baby sleeper cots, also known as co-sleepers or bassinets are a great option to keep your baby close to you during the beginning of their first few months. The cots are designed to fit right next to your bed, so that you can bring your baby closer to feed them at night, or to soothe them back to sleep. They are also great for mums who have just had a c-section.

There are many models available and the Arm's reach Clear-Vue is one that stands out. This is shaped as a play yard and has four sides, two of which are long and can be dropped down out of the way (secured with Velcro) to provide easy access to your baby's feeds.

Another alternative is the Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air, which also has an adjustable side that can be turned into recliner. This is a great option for infants to toddlers and allows you to change your baby's sleeping position as they develop.

It's important to note that, while bassinets can be utilized as an alternative to an existing cot bedside, Red Nose strongly suggests sleeping your infant in their crib from birth until six months. This is because the risk of SIDS is increased when babies sleep with their parents.

Cots are more secure than bassinets as they are fixed in height that will ensure there is no gap between your baby's mattress and the adult bed. They're also typically larger, which means they can be converted to full-size and toddler beds as your child grows - which can save you money in the long term.

It's important to take into account your budget and the size of your nursery or bedroom when selecting a model. Remember that cots are more expensive than bassinets, however, they are a great investment as they will last for a long time and can be utilized by your child as he or grows.

Also, you'll need a mattress for the cot or crib. The mattress should be firm, flat, and breathable for your baby to enjoy a restful night and reduce the chance of developing breathing issues or pressure sores. Be wary of second-hand mattresses because they could increase the risk of SIDS, so make sure you select an approved brand by the CPSC and adheres to the most recent guidelines. Also, be careful not to over-stuff your crib or use duvets, pillows bumpers, baby positioners or bumpers - they could pose dangers of suffocation. A breathable baby mattress must be sturdy enough to provide support for your baby's spine. There are a variety of mattresses for babies online, ranging from budget-friendly options to more expensive brands. If you're not sure, go to a store and try some out for yourself.
