What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet, or co-sleeper is a crib for babies that is attached to your adult bed. This allows your newborn to sleep right next to you in safety. It's a method of co-sleeping in a safe manner that doesn't increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing, and can help you build a bond with your new arrival.

These cots have one side that can be lowered to allow you to reach your baby easily in the nighttime to comfort them and feed them. This is particularly helpful for mothers recovering from an op. Many of them are portable or foldable making them suitable for travel and as an interim solution for babies that aren't yet ready to move into a full-sized crib.
