Between 1st September 2017 and 31st August 2018, the NRLS identified a total of 250 reports of babies being accidentally dropped.
182 incidents (72.8%) occurred in obstetric/midwifery units, mostly as a result of “mothers accidentally dropping their baby or losing hold of their babies when drowsy or asleep”.

THE OVERBED COT SOLUTION
The Croyde Height Adjustable Overbed Cot glides under the bed, putting baby in front of Mum. This allows constant and easy access, facilitating more frequent skin-to skin contact, and promotes maternal bonding.
The mother can place the baby back in the cot without having to leave the bed. This lowers the risk of her falling asleep with the baby because the cot is too far away.
The minimal bulk of the cot and its ability to be stored over the bed reduce bedside clutter, and minimises the risk of falls or collisions with furniture.

HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE
The Croyde Overbed cot can be raised and lowered in one simple smooth movement to achieve the desired height. This eliminates bending or stooping to reduce musculoskeletal strain on the midwife's back and shoulders as well as creating easier access for women who have undergone caesarean sections or complex births.
Additionally, the ability to adjust the cot's height enhances the process of newborn checks and monitoring right by the mother's side. This feature allows healthcare providers to easily modify the cot's elevation, minimizing the distance between mother and baby and fostering an immediate bond..
The cot tub can also be angled, delivering head elevation to support a new baby's delicate digestive system to keep milk down and aid wind to move up.
EASY TO MOVE & CLEAN
Height adjustment makes cleaning the cot easy by moving it to the perfect working height for wiping. With its column design and open space construction, all areas are easily accessible for cleaning.
It is compatible with hospital approved cleaning solutions and wipes and designed for use in high traffic wards. It is also lightweight and easy to move whilst still being stable and durable.
WARMING MATTRESS COMPATIBILITY
The Croyde Height Adjustable Overbed Cot is compatible with warming mattresses, such as our own Croyde Aquatherm Warming Mattress.
This cot is also available as a part of the Croyde Hot Cot Solution, which includes the Aquatherm Warming Mattress and Control Unit, a specialised tub with lasered holes in the base to accommodate for wiring and the cot.
This creates an out of the box hot cot solution.
