The Iora is a bassinet that can be placed at the bedside crib and travel cot that helps parents feel connected to their infant while they sleep.

Our mothers are also thrilled that the mattress is in line with NICE guidelines which state that you should place the baby in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys, pillows, etc). They also claim that the mattress is firm and comfortable for baby and is easy to find sheets for.
