Cosatto Close To Me Bedside Cot Beech

Great for that closeness you need to care for your baby.

Are you thinking about what bedside cot to buy for your new arrival? Are you worried about the concerns with co-sleeping?

Remember, bedside cots are not the same as co-sleeping. As with co-sleeping your baby actually shares your bed. With a bedside cot it is set up next to your bed with the side sliding underneath the cot for safe storage. This enables a close bond with your child without the risk of you rolling onto your baby.

Here are a few studies for you to read to establish if a bedside cot is right for you.

There is no actual evidence that co-sleeping with your child can reduce or increase the risk of cot death. However, there are a few safety precautions you should take before doing so. Do not take your baby to bed if:

you are a smoker (even if you never smoke near your baby)
you have been drinking alcohol
you are very tired
you are taking any medication or drugs that make you feel drowsy
Your baby is premature or of low birth weight

There are great reasons to co-sleep with a bedside cot. These are:

Babies can find it difficult to control their body temperature. Co-sleeping can help maintain your babies temperature by using you as a thermostat. Your body temperature will naturally rise or drop according to your baby

Some babies can develop breathing pauses, also known as apnoea. As you are co-sleeping you can be aware of this even when you are sleeping. A movement or sound from you can cause an arousal from your baby to regain the breathing again. Your baby is tuned into your breathing pattern and will pick up on this as you are close.
