These cots often come with a side that can be adjusted so that you can easily reach your infant during the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly helpful for mothers who are recovering from the c-section. Some are also portable or foldable, so you can take them on your travels and use them as a temporary sleep solution for newborns who aren't quite ready to move to a full-sized cot.
