Safety

A bedside crib is a unique crib that seamlessly connects with the parents' bed to provide a convenient way for them to take care of their infant at night. The crib allows parents to easily reach their child so that they can comfort or feed them without having to leave their bed. This is particularly beneficial for mothers who are new and may be suffering from sleep deprivation in the early months. It promotes healthy growth in the baby by creating a safe and comfortable environment.

A high-quality crib for bed will have a strong connection and an anti-slip design at the foot of the bed. This helps to reduce the risk of accidents that could hurt your baby. They also meet safety standards such as BS EN 1130, which assures your baby bedside cot is safe and secure when they sleep. It is also important to ensure that the mattress included in your crib is firm, not soft, and look for any gaps which could increase your baby's danger of suffocation or getting trapped.

It is also recommended to avoid using pillows, duvets or baby bumpers in your baby's crib unless they're designed specifically to be used with a cot or crib as they could pose a serious hazard and may not be safe. Also, make sure that any toys or other items your baby plays with in the crib are securely secured to the crib and do not protrude too far of the crib's edges.

If you're not sure about a piece of equipment, consult other parents in an NCT group or at a baby cafe for help, and make sure you choose a crib that is brand new and meets current safety standards, not second-hand or hand-me-downs. Examine the crib for any damage prior to purchasing it.
