You are eagerly anticipating the arrival of your baby. While this is an incredibly exciting milestone, preparing yourself and navigating through the vast array of baby products and information can sometimes feel overwhelming. When it comes to necessity and convenience, a bedside crib is one of the first items you'll want to consider before your newborn arrives. During the first few months after birth, a bedside crib, also known as a bedside cot or co-sleeper, can be a practical and enjoyable solution for both mother and baby. With your child so close to you at bedtime, it creates a safe space for your little one. A bedside cot bed is also incredibly useful for breastfeeding mothers. Simply place your little one next to you, and you won't have to get out of bed in the middle of the night. Not only does this help you rest better, but it also minimizes disruptions to your baby's natural sleep-wake cycle caused by nighttime feedings. As your baby nurses while half-asleep and settles back into sleep, you can quickly fall asleep too.
The decision to use a bedside sleeper crib is a personal one. A bedside sleeper is particularly helpful for new mothers who want to keep their babies close at night. A versatile bedside sleeper is a good choice as it can be used for co-sleeping or as a standalone crib.
A frequently asked question among parents is how long a baby can safely sleep in a co-sleeper. The answer to this question varies depending on various factors, such as your baby's growth rate and your personal preferences as a parent. Generally, it is recommended to let a baby sleep in a co-sleeper until they are about 6 months old or until the baby starts rolling over. At that point, the baby may need more space, and it's time to transition to a crib or cot bed. However, it's essential always to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your co-sleeper and closely monitor your baby's development to ensure they are sleeping safely and comfortably. Using a co-sleeper can be a valuable addition to the sleep routine of both the baby and the parents in the early months of parenthood.
Safety is of utmost importance when it comes to baby rooms, bedding, and bedside sleepers. Choosing a cot bed with a clean and practical design like ours is an excellent choice for every parent because it's made of sturdy and safe materials that meet European safety standards. Likewise, a high-quality baby mattress is essential for your baby's safety. Therefore, carefully consider all your options when it comes to mattresses to ensure you don't compromise on safety.
What makes a bedside crib ideal for parents? The greatest advantage is that, for the first 6 months, you have your child sleeping safely in your bedroom, where you can keep a close eye on him or her. If immediate care is needed, your baby is within arm's reach. Having a bedside-sleeping baby is also convenient for nighttime feedings. It's just like having your baby in bed with you but with an even safer option. Your baby is less likely to be exposed to hazards such as the risk of overheating and SIDS, as compared to babies who sleep in their parents' bed. So, choosing a bedside crib is a safe and helpful choice for parents.
Similar to a regular cot bed, you'll need a breathable baby mattress for the bedside cot bed. A cold foam mattress with a detachable and washable cover is an excellent choice. It's crucial to select the correct mattress size for the crib. If possible, opt for a soft, breathable mattress protector to ensure comfort and hygiene. After all, with small babies enjoying their milk the way they do, even the best nappy can leak! With some mattresses, it may be challenging to spot stains right away. Complete the setup with baby-safe add-ons like a fitted sheet, along with accessories such as a teether, blanket, and cuddly toy, to make the bedside crib a fantastic bed for newborns.
Consider your baby's needs and how to meet them when deciding between a sliding bed or a 4-in-1 bedside sleeper. You can opt for a cot bed with a side opening that you place against your bed. It attaches to your bed with a special hook, and the mattress of this bed extends slightly, so it fits seamlessly beside your mattress with no gaps in between. If you think it's time for your baby to transition to the nursery, this baby bed converts into a normal crib bed effortlessly.
With Petite Amélie's classic and timeless products, you can use each item to create your beautiful nursery design. If you choose a white wooden baby crib, you can decorate the bed with various colorful accessories. Add a soft cotton baby blanket in the color sand pink to complement the white cot bed frame.
