A baby bedside crib (or next-to-me crib) is a bassinet style bedside cot for twins that attaches to the mattress's side. This lets you touch your baby and soothe your child without getting up from your mattress. Some models also have an incline feature to aid in relieving reflux.

You should only put your baby to sleep in a bassinet or crib if the mattress is firm and flat. This will lower the chance of him dying.

bedside sleeper cot cots, sometimes referred to as bassinets or co-sleepers are a great option to keep your baby close to your during the beginning of their first few months. The cots are made to fit right next to your bed, so that you can easily carry your baby to you to feed them at night, or to soothe them to sleep. These are also perfect for mothers who just had a c-section.

There are many different models on the market however, one that stands out is the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue. This is shaped like a compact play yard and has four sides, two of which are long and can be dropped away (secured with Velcro) to give you the ability to easily access your baby for those middle-of-the-night feeds.

Red Nose recommends that your baby sleep in their own cot between the time of birth and six months. It's because the risk of SIDS is increased when babies sleep with adults.

Cots are more secure than bassinets, as they have a fixed height that ensures there's no gap between the baby's mattress and the adult bed. Cots are generally larger and can be converted to full-size or toddler beds as your baby grows. This can save you money.

When shopping for a crib for your baby it is essential to consider your budget and the dimensions of your bedroom or nursery when you select a model. Keep in mind that cot beds are likely to be more expensive than bassinets but are a great investment as they last for years and can be used as your baby moves from infancy into adulthood and beyond.

It's important to remember that you'll need an infant mattress for your cot or bedside crib. The mattress must be flat, firm and breathable to allow your baby to enjoy a good sleep and reduce the chance of developing breathing issues or pressure sores. Mattresses used in second-hand stores could increase your child's SIDS risk. Find a brand approved by the CPSC that complies with current guidelines. Be careful not to over-stuff your crib or use duvets, pillows bumpers, or baby positioners - they could pose dangers of suffocation. A baby mattress that is breathable must be firm enough to be able to support your baby's back. On the internet, you can locate a variety of baby mattresses, ranging from budget-friendly choices to premium brands. If you're unsure, visit the store and try it out for yourself.
