What is a bedside crib?
A bedside cot mattress crib, also referred as a bassinet or co-sleeper is a baby cot that is attached to an adult bed. This allows your newborn to sleep next to you in safety. It's a method of co-sleeping in a safe manner that does not increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing and can help you build a bond with your baby's new arrival.
The cots usually come with a side that can be raised, so you can easily reach your infant throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is especially helpful for mothers who are recovering from a c-section. Many are portable or foldable which means you can use them for trips and as a temporary solution for newborns who aren't quite ready to transition into a crib that is large enough.
If you're looking for a crib that is bedside Choose a crib that has a breathable mattress and a protective cover to protect your newborn from staining. It is also advisable to buy baby-safe items such as a blanket, a teether and cuddly toy.
If you are seeking a long-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to convert them into a toddler bed or a cot when the time is appropriate. This can extend their lifespan and make the transition a lot easier. Some come with a removable section at the top that can be transformed into the bassinet. Other models can be used with either a regular adult bed or a high-rise model. This is a good choice for families who are planning on frequent travel or switching between bedrooms at night. Consider the dimensions of your room to ensure you fit comfortably in the crib. A lot of cribs have an riser that can be used to create an inclined position for babies who suffer from reflux.
The Joie Roomie Glide

Designed to allow parents to bond with their infants while they sleep together without sharing a bed this co-sleeper has features that help make bonding between parents easy, safe and enjoyable.
One of the most important features is a soft rocking motion that can be activated by the touch of the button. This gentle rhythm will help soothe your baby into sleep without disrupting their normal sleep patterns. This is great for toddlers and older babies who are struggling to settle and can aid in digestive issues such as colic and reflux.
The crib can also be fixed to the side of the bed by a strap and clip attachment. This makes the crib very stable and secure which allows you to rest soundly without worrying that your child will slide off into the middle.

Anna found the CoZee to be a safe, comfortable sleeping space for her baby. She was delighted that it didn't sway like some other models, so it wasn't waking her at night when she was trying to soothe her baby during feeds. She also liked that the side lowered down so that she didn't have to reach out over her partner to lift the baby for night time feeds.
The CoZee is available in charcoal and oak and was a stylish addition to the bedroom. It's more an elegant piece of furniture than some of the other cribs that we've tried, which appear quite utilitarian. It is also relatively lightweight at just 11kg and comes with a carry case that allows you to take it on holiday or when moving house.

The Maxi-Cosi lora
The Iora is a bedside sleeper cot bassinet that helps parents feel connected to their infant as they sleep. It can be adjusted up and down and moved to three different slide positions to fit beside the parent's bed or in the corner to ensure that the infant is always within reach.

This is a great choice for parents looking to co-sleep but do not want to share their beds, or whose partners might be suffering from mobility issues, such as back problems or arthritis. Our mom testers love the convenience of being able to access their baby in the Iora and it also has an option to tilt the bed upwards to help alleviate gas.
Our moms are also thrilled that the mattress is in line with NICE guidelines, which are to place the infant in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys pillows, etc.). The mattress is also sturdy and comfortable for babies and sheets are easy to find.
