Bedside cots are easy to clean, especially with the right cleaning products. Start by removing bedding, such as sheets, blankets or cuddly toys, and then washing them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Clean the cot thoroughly, including its mattress. Pay particular attention to the corners and crevices. Mattress protectors can aid in reducing the buildup of dust mites, bacteria, and other germs.

Dampen a fresh cloth regularly to clean soapy residue and keep the surface as clean as you can. If the mattress has stains, use a gentle scrub brush to clean them. Add a small amount of baking soda to help eliminate the lingering smells. Always test a small section of the mattress first to ensure the cleaning product is safe for your child.

This kind of safe co-sleeping is called rooming in and is an important aspect of a baby's initial development.
