A rocking bedside crib cot, also called a co-sleeper, or bassinet is a great way to let your baby sleep with you in the early months. They're designed to sit next to your bed, so you can pull your baby out towards you for night-time feeding or soothing them back to sleep. These are also perfect for mums who have just had a c-section.

There are many models to choose from, but the Arm's Reach Clear-Vue is a model that stands out. This compact play yard is made up of four sides. Two of them are long and can be lowered out of the way by Velcro, allowing you to easily access your baby's nighttime feeds.

Another alternative is the Baby Hug 4 In 1 Air, which also has an adjustable side that can be turned into recliner. This is a fantastic option for infants and toddlers and offers the flexibility to alter your baby's sleeping position as they become more mobile.

Red Nose recommends that your child sleep in their own cot between birth and six months. This is because the risk of SIDS rises when babies sleep in beds with their parents.

Cots are more secure than bassinets because they are fixed in height that guarantees there's no gap between your baby's mattress and the adult bed. They're also typically larger, meaning they can be converted into full-size and toddler beds as your child grows - which can save you money in the long term.

When you are looking for a foldable bedside crib for your baby it is important to think about your budget and the size of your bedroom or nursery as you choose a model. Keep in mind that cots can be more expensive than bassinets, however, they are an investment that can last for many years and will be used by your child as he or she grows.

You'll also need an appropriate mattress for your bedside crib with wheels or cot. It's essential that the mattress is flat, firm and ventilated to help your baby have a restful night's sleep and reduce their risk of developing pressure sores or breathing problems. Mattresses used in second-hand stores can increase the risk of SIDS in your child. Find a brand approved by the CPSC that is in line with current guidelines. Also, be cautious not to over-stuff your crib or use duvets, pillows bumpers, or baby positioners which could create the risk of suffocation. A breathable baby mattress must be firm enough to support your baby's spine. There are a variety of baby mattresses online, from budget options to more luxurious brands. If you're not sure, go to an establishment and try them out for yourself.
