They're safe
Bedside cots, also known as co-sleepers as they're often referred to, are specially designed baby sleeping solutions that allow infants to sleep beside their parents without the risk of SIDS. They are similar to Moses baskets or a standard baby cot but they fasten to the side of the parent's bed and have one open side, which allows parents to have access to their newborn infant. These are ideal for families who want to sleep together but are concerned about the potential risks of sharing a bed.
Many people worry about the safety and effectiveness of a bassinet or rocking bedside crib mattress. However, CHOICE found that these products, when used properly, are safe and result in fewer injuries and accidents. These products are also a great option for new parents who struggle with the exhaustion of night feedings and early morning diaper changes. You can watch the baby and comfort them when needed.
If you're looking for a bedside cot that is safe, pick one with a mattress that is strong and airy. A mattress that is breathable can help regulate the temperature of your baby's body and prevent overheating. Also, you should purchase a fitted mattress that is sized to fit your mattress and a nappy changing kit that has a waterproof cover and a wipeable mat. All these items are available on the internet or in shops which specialize in baby products. It's important to remember that you should never use secondhand or hand-me-down products or items since they may be recalled or have been damaged and may not meet necessary safety standards.
A good quality bedside crib is easy to set up and can be removed to store. Some models come with adjustable incline positions, which make it easier for babies to sleep in a raised position or for parents suffering from reflux. Some models have an included travel bag so they can be easily packed away and carried with you when you're travelling.
They're easy to clean
The best products allow you to clean the cots in your bed. Begin by removing any bedding like blankets, sheets or cuddly toys. Then wash them according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Then, vacuum the cot and its mattress, paying special focus on the corners and crevices. A mattress protector can also help to reduce the growth of dust mites, bacteria and other germs.
Next, clean the cot with a soft cloth dampened with baby-safe cleaner or a natural stain remover spray. Dampen a fresh cloth regularly to wash soapy residue off and keep the surface as clean as you can. Use a soft scrub brush to get rid of any stains that have accumulated on the mattress. Baking soda can be used to eliminate the lingering smells. Always test a small section of the mattress first to ensure that the cleaning product is safe for your child.
It is easier to clean and sanitize the cot when it is disassembled. You can even use a solution of warm water and mild baby-safe detergent to clean the mattress and its protector.
If the cot is made out of wood, you can disinfect it using a mix of white vinegar and warm water.

They're also a great option for parents who want to get a good night's rest and are concerned about the risks of co-sleeping. This is due to the fact that the crib is closer to the parent's bed and has a lower risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) than co-sleeping in a regular cot or bassinet. This kind of safe co-sleeping is called rooming in and is an important part of a baby's early development.
