This sleeper features a firm mattress that is designed to help babies' backs and decrease the chance of SIDS. It can be swiveled on your adult bed to raise your baby for sunrise cuddles or midnight nursing.

Safety

When choosing a new baby's bedside cot it's important to keep the safety aspect in your thoughts.

Some bedside sleeper cot cots can be tilted, which is useful for babies with reflux or digestive issues, however this should always be done with extreme caution and at a gentle angle. Avoid putting pillows, duvets or padded crib bumpers in the bassinet. These can pose the risk of suffocation your baby.

You should also consider an infant bassinet with an attachment system that is secure. This can be connected to your bed without the use of tools. This feature can be particularly helpful for parents who may struggle to lift their baby in and out of the crib or who are worried about accidentally rolling over in the night. If your bassinet does have a secure attachment system it's recommended to regularly check that it's securely attached and that there aren't any gaps or loose parts that could cause danger.

Comfort

A modern bedside cot for newborns should have a sturdy, flat mattress to help in promoting safe sleeping habits and reduce the chance of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The bedding should be simple, with a cot sheet and blanket tucked tightly on the bottom. Avoid bumpers, toys and pillows that could be thrown over your baby, creating an obstructive risk. If your baby is familiar with being swaddled, you can use a swaddle or baby sleep bag for the first few weeks, however it should be removed when possible after they've gained the strength and confidence to unwrap themselves.

Some bedside cribs feature a removable or drop-down side that gives you easy access to your baby for comforting and feeding during the middle of the night. This is a good feature for parents looking to keep the bond between them and their child, but still adhere to NHS safe sleep advice.
