What is a bedside crib or cot crib?

A bedside crib (also called a bassinet or co-sleeper) is a small infant cot that attaches to your adult bed, allowing your infant to sleep safely next to you. This is a secure form of co-sleeping, which doesn't increase your risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It can also help you bond with your newborn baby.

They have one side that can be adjusted to allow you to reach your baby easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is particularly helpful for mums recovering from the c-section. Many are also mobile or foldable bedside crib, which means you can bring them along on trips and use them as a sleeping solution for infants who aren't yet ready to move into a cot that is full size.

Look for a crib with a breathable mattress, and a protective cover that will protect your baby from stains. You'll also want to buy baby-safe items like a blanket, teether and a soft toy.

If you are looking for a longer-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a toddler bed or a cot when the time is right. This is a great way to extend their life and making the transition easier. Some have a removable section at the top that can be turned into the bassinet. Some can be used with a regular adult bed or a high-rise bed. This is a good choice for families that plan on frequently traveling or switching rooms during the night. You should also think about how big your bedroom is to ensure that you can squeeze the crib in comfortably. Many cribs have a riser that can be added to create an incline to accommodate babies with reflux.
