What is a bedside cot?

A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet) is a baby crib that can be attached to your adult bed, allowing your newborn to sleep comfortably next to you. It is a safe method of co-sleeping that does not increase the risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It also helps you bond with the new baby.

The cots usually have a side that can be raised, so you can easily reach your newborn at night to feed and comforting. This is particularly helpful for mothers who are recovering from an op. Many are portable or foldable making them suitable for trips and as a temporary solution for newborns who aren't ready to transition to a larger crib.

Some can be used with either a standard adult bed or a high-rise one. This is a good choice for families that are planning on frequent travel or transferring between bedrooms at night. Be aware of the dimensions of your bedroom to make sure you can fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with a riser that can be used to create an incline to accommodate babies with reflux.
