7 Easy Secrets To Totally Intoxicating Your Best Bedside Cots
The Best Bedside Cots 
 
 
A bedside crib is a bassinet style that attaches to your own bed which allows your babies to sleep right next to you. This is a great solution if you’d like your baby to be near for peaceful feedings during the first few months of his life. 
 
The HALO bassiNest Essentia was the winner of our best bedside cots test. It has an adjustable sleep surface that can be swiveled and sidewalls that can be lowered easily. This allows you to easily reach out and feel comfortable. 
 
Safety 
 
A bedside cot is the ideal solution for new parents who wish to keep their infant close to them without sacrificing security. This kind of cot attaches to the bed’s side and has a curved end which can be lifted or lowered so you can reach your child. It can also be used as a night feeding station or to help soothe your baby back to sleep. This is a great option particularly for mothers who have had C-sections. Bedside cots come in many different designs and sizes, and some come with storage. When shopping for a cot for your bedside, be sure to check the safety features. 
 
The Boori Oasis Oval Cot has an attractive design and is easy to assemble. The oval shape is perfect for infants who roll around in their sleep, because it means they won’t get trapped in a corner like they might with a rectangular cot. The cot can also be easily fitted through doors with standard frames. This is a great feature for parents who are short on space. 
 
Another good choice is the La Redoute Willox Adjustable Cot Bed. This cot is an excellent all-purpose cot, with lots of features to simplify parenting and have a gorgeous look. Its adjustable sides mean that it can grow with your child and convert into a toddler bed when they’re ready. It’s also lightweight, so it’s easy to move around the home. 
 
A crib with a high mesh side is a good feature to have on a bedside crib. This will stop your child from falling. It should be securely fitted to your bed, with no gaps or loose parts. If you’re unsure about installing a bedside cot on your own or hiring a professional, let a professional complete the task for you. 
 
Sleeping in a co-sleeper is not recommended until your baby is at least six months of age. Official advice from The Lullaby Trust and the NHS is that newborns shouldn’t sleep in your bed because of the risk of suffocation and overheating. However, if you need to sleep with your partner in a crib, a bedside crib is the safest option. 
 
Size 
 
A bedside cot, also referred to as bassinet is a cot which attaches to the sides of your mattress. It is a side that can be raised or lowered to let you reach your baby without having to leave the bed. They are a favorite of celeb mums such as Stacey Solomon, Binky Felstead and Lucy Mecklenburgh. They are ideal for parents who have limited mobility after a C-section. 
 
The Maxi-Cosi Lora is our number one choice. It comes with a peekaboo feature that allows you to see your child on the bottom of the mattress. It also adjusts to the mattress’s height but some mothers have complained about the difficulty of moving it up and down. It’s also one of the most lightweight options on our list and folds down to the size of a suitcase, making it ideal to travel with your little one. 
 
Another option that is great is the Slumber Carbon 3-in-1, which can be used as an a portable cot, bassinet and playpen. It also was awarded our 2021 Mother&Baby Awards gold award in the Best Cot Crib, Moses Basket category. It comes with a useful storage shelf underneath and is extremely light to lift in and out of the car. However, some mothers found it a bit large and wide for small spaces, particularly when it is used as a bedside sleeping device.

If you’re looking for something a bit more traditional There are plenty of options to choose from as well. 
 
Some of our top picks are the CoZee Air from Tutti Bambini that won bronze in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category and the Next2me Magic was shortlisted in that same category. Both have adjustable heights and can be converted into a travel cot that can be used for use outside of the home. They are also lightweight and easy to move around. 
 
Some mums prefer the Lua Bedside sleeper that comes with a changing mat, storage area and a collapsible bassinet for babies which can be turned into an e-couch that can be carried around. It also comes with an organizer bag. Jasmine says it’s the perfect size for infants and is bigger than Moses baskets, which may feel flimsy or thin.

The Clair de Lune is a mid-priced model that was nominated in the 2021 Mother&Baby Awards Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket category. The design is stylish and sleek however it’s a little wider than some other options, so it might not be the best choice for small spaces. It is also quite heavy at over 10kg and requires some maneuvering to place it. Emily from Clair de Lune notes that the sides of this mattress don’t bend enough, meaning you’ll need to bend to grab your baby.
