Bedside Crib Vs Cot A bedside crib (also known as co-sleeper) lets your baby rest close to you during the night. However, it's important to follow 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. Additionally, its slim frame makes it easy to move from room to room. Safety Bedside cribs are a great option for families who co-sleep. NHS Safe Sleep advises parents to choose a separate bed for their infant, and avoid sharing a mattress in order to reduce the chance of suffocation or overheating. It is important that when choosing the crib you will use for your baby, you check to make sure it meets European safety standards. Also, ensure the crib adheres to Lullaby trust codes for safe sleep to ensure he is sleeping in a space that is secure and safe. Bedside cribs that are adjustable in height settings can be matched with the parent's bed frame to minimize the chance of infants getting trapped in gaps.
