Bedside crib and safe sleeping
Show your support
I also have one like this, I asked the health visitor who said it’s absolutely fine. They have to meet certain standards now to be sold and that bottom bit is breathable. My baby likes sleeping with her face right up against it. You could also try squishing your nose against it and seeing if you can breathe for piece of mind x
Same as Ellen our little one presses her face right towards the edge and she is ok. Only thing I would say is when they first come home from hospital the bedside cribs can feel huge and our LO rolled a bit when I first put her in it so that worried me. We used either Moses basket or co sleeping initially they moved into this one once she was a bit bigger.
They changed the law a little while ago and now all new made bedside cribs won’t let the side go all the way down. So any pics online will be old models. So it’s actually a safety feature to have it up apparently. I find it weird though too
I have one like this and I think it is fine. My little boy slept in a moses basket for the first few weeks and then went into his moses basket inside the next to me (recommendation from the midwife) and then in this. I have it mattress height with one side down
