What is a bedside cot?

A bedside cot co sleeper crib, also known as a bassinet or a co-sleeper is a baby cot attached to your adult bed. This allows your newborn to sleep right next to you in safety. This is a secure form of co-sleeping, which does not increase the risk of SIDS, like bedsharing. It can also help you bond with the newborn baby.

They usually have a side that can be adjusted so that you can easily reach your newborn throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly helpful for mothers recovering from a c section. Many of them are portable or foldable so you can use them for trips and as an interim solution for babies who aren't quite ready to move into a crib that is large enough.

Look for a crib with a breathable mattress, and an extra-safe cover that will protect your baby from stains. You may also want to purchase baby-safe items such as a blanket or teether.

If you are seeking a long-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to convert them into a toddler bed or cot at the time that is appropriate. This is a great way to extend their lifespan and making the transition easier. Some have a removable section at the top that can be converted into the bassinet. Other models can be used with either a regular adult bed or a high-rise bed. This is a great option for families that intend to travel frequently or change between bedrooms at night. Be aware of the dimensions of your room to ensure you fit comfortably in the crib. Many cribs come with a riser which can be used to create an incline to accommodate babies with reflux.

It can also help with digestive issues such as colic and reflux.

The crib can also be affixed to the side of the bed with an attachment strap and clip. This makes it very stable and secure allowing you to get a good night's rest without having to worry about your little one falling off into the middle of the room. The rounded shape of the cocoon features soft padding on the sides and double mesh windows on both ends. This allows for airflow while ensuring your baby's safety.

It also comes with a top bar which can be easily adjusted to accommodate nighttime feedings without having to mess with zips.

Anna discovered the CoZee to be a safe and cozy sleeping place for her baby. She was delighted the fact that it didn't roll like some other models, so it didn't wake her up in the night when she was trying to soothe her baby during feeds. She also loved the fact that the side could be lowered so she didn't need to reach out over her partner to carry the baby out for feedings at night.

The CoZee is available in oak and charcoal and was a stylish addition to the bedroom. It's more a designer piece than some of the other cribs we've tested, and can appear rather utilitarian. It's also quite lightweight at just 11kg and comes with a carry case that allows you to take it on holiday or when you are moving home. The only additional items you'll have to purchase are a waterproof cover and a co-sleeping safety strap.

The Maxi-Cosi lora

The Iora is a bassinet that can be placed at the bedside that helps parents feel closer to their infant while they sleep. It can be adjusted upwards and downwards and shifted through three different slide positions, to fit under the parent's bed or in the corner to ensure that the infant is always at hand. The breathable mesh siding allows air to flow through and allows you to glance at your little one. You can also keep additional pajamas or other items in the large bedside crib storage basket beneath.

As opposed to other bedside crib with wheels crib options The Iora can be folded flat and comes with a travel bedside crib bag which allows it to be taken anywhere. Our mum testers were able to move it from room to room, and believed it was a great size for a small bedside cot that was not too big or small. The large storage basket is great to store bedding and nappies.

This is a great option for parents who want to sleep together, but don't wish to share their bed. Also, if one of the parents has mobility issues like back pain or arthritis. Our mom testers are thrilled with the convenience of being able to access their child in the Iora, and that it comes with an adjustable reflux incline that can help with gas.

Our moms also love the fact that it complies with NICE guidelines, which are to place the baby in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets, pillows, etc). They also claim that the mattress is firm and comfortable for babies and is easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as the other cribs that are smaller on our list, so if prefer something lighter and easier for you to move, you can choose another alternative.
