What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib (also known as a bassinet or co sleeper bedside cot-sleeper) is a baby cot that attaches to your adult bed, allowing your newborn to sleep in a safe environment with you. It is a safe method of co-sleeping and does not increase the risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It can also help you bond with the new baby bedside sleeper.

They usually have a side that is able to be adjusted so that you can easily reach your newborn during the night for feeding and comforting. This is especially useful for mothers who are recovering from a c-section.

When you are looking for a crib that is bedside, look for a model with a comfortable mattress and a cover to protect your newborn from staining. You should also buy baby-safe items such as a blanket, a teether and cuddly toy.

If you're looking for a more long-term alternative, some cribs are equipped with conversion kits that allow you to turn them into a cot or toddler bed when the time comes. This is a great way to extend their life and making the transition easier. Some have a removable section at the top that can be transformed into an infant bed. Some can be used with either a standard adult bed or a high-rise one. This is an excellent choice for families that are planning to travel frequently or change between bedrooms at night. Consider the size of your bedroom to ensure you be able to fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with an riser that can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.
