Ease of access


A bedside crib, also referred to as a co-sleeper, or bedside bassinet, is a specifically designed sleep solution that allows babies to sleep close to their parents without the dangers of co-sleeping (like rolling off the mattress of their parents or being suffocated). It can be particularly helpful for mothers who have had C-sections as they recover, and will aid them in getting into the swing with their baby.

While it's an excellent method of getting used to sharing space with your baby, there are some aspects to take into account when buying one. You will want to make sure that the crib is at least 12cm of a wall or barrier to keep your child from rolling over and onto your side. It must have a drop-down edge that is easy to reach so you can grab your baby in the middle of the night, whether for comforting or feeding.

There are some older cribs that don't comply with these standards are available for sale but they'll slowly disappear from the market as manufacturers replace them with the safer models. Make sure you check the model you're thinking about purchasing has this new safety standard to ensure it's secure.

Safety

It is crucial to ensure an environment that is secure and safe for your infant. Look for cribs or cots that are in compliance with NHS safety standards, and have been approved by childcare experts such as the director of the Mother-Baby Behavioural Sleep Laboratory.

Also, make sure that the crib frame is sturdy and that the slats are spaced not more than 2 inches apart. Check that the mattress size is in compliance with EN 16890 and has been tested to assure the strength, stability and firmness.

Avoid putting blankets, pillows and stuffed toys in your baby's crib unless they are specifically designed to be used for sleeping. Avoid sleep wedges and positioners since they haven't been scientifically proven to help your baby sleep better. They can also be dangerous.

Most cribs have straps that allow you to fix them to the sides of your bed or mattress However, it is important to ensure that the straps included in the crib are compatible with your bed frame before buying especially if you have divan beds, as this might require longer straps. Some cribs can also be folded up and away when they are not in use making them an ideal choice to travel with.
