Cot sides in hospital when feeding in bed - info for mears

[mears]

Can anyone tell me what type of cot side/bed guards were used when your baby was in bed with you when in hospital?

Am trying to source some

none. always felt terrified that I'd fall asleep and drop the baby IIRC

Ah yes.
None in our hospital.
It was great that she was put in bed with me,but was very worried about her falling especially as I was alone (dh abroad) and very woozy after Diamorphine.

None in our hospital (dd 8 weeks) was actually told by MW whilst in there not to hold her whilst sleeping as 'thats what the seperate cot was for'

saw someone with a cot that clipped to the bed (with a side panel missing? like you can get at home?) but wasnt brave enough to ask for one. nearly dropped her falling asleep the first night too

[shhhh]

When I was 1st transferred to the ward aftre having dd I was in a bed with a cot on wheels. BUT the mw noticed that given my height (4ft 11in) I found it a struggle to get into bed esp aftre the birth let alone struggle to get dd out of her cot.
I was then given a cot that attached to the side of my bed. Much easier for feeds, cuddles and general access and made me feel closer to dd as well..
