What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib (also known as bassinet or co-sleeper) is a baby cot that attaches to your adult bed, allowing your infant to sleep comfortably next to you. This is a form 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 bond with your newborn.

The cots come with one side that can be lowered to allow you to reach your baby easily at night to soothe and feed them. This is especially useful for mothers recovering from the c-section. Many of them are foldable or portable, so you can take them on trips and use them as a temporary sleep solution for newborns who aren't ready to transition to a full-sized cot.

Look for a crib with a breathable mattress, and a protective cover that will keep your baby safe from staining. You might also want to buy baby-safe accessories such as a blanket or teether.

If you're seeking a long-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to convert them into a toddler bed or a cot when the time is right. This will extend their life and make the transition a lot easier. Some even have a removable top section that converts into an infant bed, and some can be used on either the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is a great option for families that plan on traveling frequently or transferring between bedrooms throughout the night. You should also consider the size of your bedroom to ensure you can fit the crib in comfortably. A lot of cribs have an riser that can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.
