What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib (also called a co-sleeper or bassinet) is a small bedside cot baby crib that is attached to your adult bed, allowing your baby to sleep in a safe environment with you. This is a safe form of co-sleeping, which doesn't increase the risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It also helps you bond with the new baby.

These cots often have a side that can be raised, so you can easily reach your infant throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is especially useful for mums recovering from an op. Many of them are foldable or portable which means you can use them for trips and as an interim solution for babies who aren't quite ready to transition to a larger crib.

Find a crib that has a breathable mattress, and an appropriate cover to keep your baby safe from stains. You should also buy baby-safe items like a blanket, teether and a cuddly toys.

If you're looking for a more long-term solution, some cribs come with conversion kits that let you transform them into a toddler bed or cot at the time that is appropriate.

This is a great option for families that plan to frequently travel or switch between bedrooms at night. You should also think about the size of your bedroom to ensure you can fit the crib comfortably. A lot of cribs have a riser which can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.
