What is a bedside crib?

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

They usually have a side that is able to be adjusted so that you can easily reach your baby bedside co sleeper at night to feed and comforting.

If you're looking for a long-term alternative, some cribs are equipped with conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a cot bedside, or a toddler bed at the time of need. This can extend their lifespan and make the transition easier. Some models have a removable portion at the top that can be turned into an infant bed. Other models can be used with either a regular adult bed or a high-rise one. This is a great option for families that intend to travel frequently or change between bedrooms in the evening. You should also consider how big your bedroom is to ensure that you can squeeze the crib comfortably.

The Iora is a bassinet that can be placed at the bedside that allows parents to feel more connected to their infant as they sleep.
