Anyone have a bedside cot for sale?

Hi there,

Really struggling to get DD to sleep in her moses basket - she'll only sleep in it if DH or I cuddle her into a really deep sleep first which means we are utterly exhausted and not sleeping at night ourselves.

Thinking a bedside cot might be good as I can nurse her lying down at then just slide her over into her side of the bed without worrying about us rolling onto her.

Anyone have one that they'd like to sell?

Many thanks

I can't seem to find the detailed thread from ages ago. But if you google it you will see that it's quite common. I co slept with my first DS and it worked great for us. There are many websites/books out there on safe co-sleeping. Good luck

Hi Angie, I have been looking for a bedside cot and they are available only in Mothercare and Mamas & Papas. Unfortunately, there's not much to choose from. Personally, I have picked up regular sturdy cot with a dropside from Babyshop and not attached the side. Like KellBells said, initially I was very sceptical about the saftey aspect of doing this, but resorted to this solution after exhausting all the other options. This solution was suggested to us by friends who have a 16 mo and he has been using his cot like this from the beginning. HTH

I rememever Reading up on it a while back and somewhere (maybe a parenting forum in the UK) I read how simple it was to remove one side of the IKEA cot and attach it to your bed. I'll see if I can find any info for you. At first I thought it was risky and unsafe...but it was a pretty well thought out solution.
