What is a bedside cot?

A bedside cot for twins crib, also referred to as a bassinet, or co-sleeper is a crib for babies that is attached to your adult bed. This allows your newborn to sleep next to you in safety. This is a safe form of co-sleeping and doesn't increase the risk of SIDS, like bedsharing. It can also help you bond with the newborn baby.

These cots often have a side that is able to be lowered, so you can easily reach your baby at night to feed and comforting. This is particularly useful for mothers who are recovering from a c-section. Many of them are foldable bedside crib or portable which means you can use them to travel or as a temporary solution for newborns who aren't ready to be able to transition into a crib that is large enough.

Choose a crib that has an air-conditioned mattress, as well as a protective cover that will shield your baby from staining. You might also want to buy baby-safe accessories such as an infant blanket or a teether.

If you're looking for a longer-term solution, some cribs come with conversion kits that let you transform them into a toddler bed or a cot when the time is appropriate. This is a great way to extend their life span and making the transition smoother. Some come with a removable section at the top that can be transformed into a bassinet. Other models can be used with either an adult bed that is standard or a high-rise bed. This is an excellent choice for families that are planning to travel frequently or switch between bedrooms in the evening. It is also important to consider the size of your bedroom to ensure that you can squeeze the crib comfortably. Many cribs have risers that can be used to create an incline to accommodate babies with reflux.

Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfy sleep space for her newborn. She was pleased that it didn't sway like some other models, so it didn't wake her in the night when she was trying to comfort her baby for feedings. She also liked that the sides of the chair was lowered so she didn't have to reach over her partner to carry the child out for nighttime feedings.

The CoZee is available in oak and charcoal and is a chic addition to the bedroom. It looks more designer than the other cribs we've tested that are usually utilitarian.

The Maxi-Cosi lora

The Iora is a bassinet that can be placed at the bedside that allows parents to feel more connected to their infant while they sleep. It can be adjusted both up and down and shifted through three different slide positions to be placed beside the bed of the parent or in the corner, so the baby is always at hand.

The Iora is a smaller bedside cots for newborns cot that can fold flat. It also comes with a travel bag which allows it to be taken anywhere. It was easy to move around from room to room, and our mum testers felt it was the perfect size for a Bedside Rocking Crib (Opensourcebridge.Science) crib. They also appreciated the large storage basket perfect for storing spare bedding or nappies.

This is a great choice for parents looking to co-sleep, but don't wish to share their beds or whose partner may have mobility issues, like arthritis or back issues. Our mom testers were thrilled to be able to easily access their child in the Iora and that it came with an optional reflux incline that helped to reduce gas.

Our moms also love the fact that it meets NICE guidelines that state to put the baby in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets, pillows, etc). The mattress is also firm and comfortable for the baby and sheets are easy to find. It isn't as light as other cribs for bedside use, though, so if you want something lighter and easier to move around with, think about one of the other options on our list.
