Style

A bedside crib is a bassinet that attaches to the bed's side.

They're also a great option for mothers recovering from c-section births, who may find it difficult to get up to take care of their child in the middle of the night.

There are a wide variety of styles to pick from, but some characteristics you should look for are:

Can it be cleaned by machine or does it require a hand-washable mattress cover? What size is the bed and can you lower or raise it to fit? What's the weight and is it easy to move around your home, particularly when you intend to use it in more than one room at a time?

Mum test-taker Jasmine particularly loved the fact that the crib is able to swivel, making it easier to reach in and out of to pick up her newborn. She also liked the size, saying that it's not as large as a standard crib for babies, but it is larger than standard Moses baskets. It's also a comfortable fit for her infant. It's also easy to put together and can be folded flat, making it easy to transport. It was a bit heavy for some mothers who were carrying it around, which could be an issue for those who have mobility issues.

The majority will have an upholstered bed, which is ideal because you do not want it to be too hard or clumpy.
