Safety

A crib that is bedside co sleeper is a new crib that is able to connect seamlessly to the parents' beds to provide them a convenient way to take care of their baby during the night. This crib allows parents to easily reach their infant so that they can soothe or feed them without leaving the bed. This is especially beneficial for mothers who are new and may suffer from sleep deprivation in the beginning of their pregnancy. It also assists in encouraging the development of a healthy baby by providing a safe and comfortable sleep environment.

A high-quality bedside crib will have a solid connection and an anti-slip design at the foot of the bed. This reduces the risk of accidents that could harm your baby. They also have to meet safety standards, such as BS EN 1130:2019, which will ensure that your child is secure and safe when they sleep. Also, make sure the mattress you get with your crib is firm rather than soft, and look for any gaps which could increase your baby's risk of suffocation, or entrapment.

Also, make sure that any playthings your child plays with in the crib is securely secured and does not extend too far.
