If you want to keep your baby as close as you can at night without getting out of the bed, a crib for bed is the perfect solution. The fabric's breathable design means you can easily see your baby and they're easy to lower for those bleary-eyed 3am feedings.
They can also be used as a moses basket as well.
What is a bedside cot?
A bedside baby sleeper crib, also referred to as a bassinet or co-sleeper, is a small baby cot that is attached to an adult bed. This allows your child to sleep next to you in a safe environment. This is a secure form of co-sleeping that doesn't increase the risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It can also help you bond with the new baby.
They usually have a side that is able to be lowered, so you can easily reach your infant during the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly helpful for mothers who are recovering from a csection. Some are also portable or foldable, so you can take them on trips and use them as a sleeping option for babies who aren't ready to transition to a full-sized cot.
Choose a crib that has an air-conditioned mattress, as well as a protective cover that will keep your baby safe from stains. You might also want to purchase some baby-safe accessories like an infant blanket or a teether.
If you're looking for a more long-term alternative, some cribs are equipped with conversion kits that let you transform them into a cot or a toddler bed when the time comes. This is a great option for extending their lifespan and making the transition smoother. Some come with a removable section at the top that can be turned into a bassinet. Other models can be used in conjunction with an adult bed that is standard or a high-rise model. This is an excellent choice for families that are planning to frequently travel or switch between bedrooms at night. Consider the size of your bedroom to ensure you be able to fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with risers that can be used to create an incline for babies with reflux.

The crib can also be affixed to the side of the bed by an attachment strap and clip. This makes it very stable and secure, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful night's rest without having to worry about your little one falling off into the middle of the room. The cocoon's rounded shape has soft padded side panels and double mesh windows on both ends. This allows for airflow while ensuring your baby's safety.

The deluxe airflow mattresses provide a comfortable sleeping surface, while the ventilation panels keep your baby cool. There are 6 different height settings including an incline setting to help with reflux and congestion.
Contrary to some cribs that are placed on the bed that can be a nightmare to clean due to their constant stream of dribble and snot and snot, the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air comes with a wipe-clean lining and fabric that can be washed in the machine. It also comes with a top bar which can be easily adjusted to allow for feeding at night without the need to juggle zips.
Anna discovered that the CoZee could be a safe and comfortable place to sleep for her infant. She loved that it didn't sway like other models, meaning it didn't wake her at night while she was trying to comfort her baby during feeds. She also liked that the sides of the chair lowered so that she didn't have to reach over her partner to carry the child out for nighttime feedings.
The CoZee is available in charcoal or oak and is a chic addition to any bedroom. It's more stylish than other cribs we've tried and are typically utilitarian. It's also fairly light at just 11kg and comes with a carry bag which allows you to take it with you on holiday or if moving home. The only extras you require are a waterproof sheet and a co-sleeping safety strap. There are step-by-step directions and pictures to assist you in putting it together as you open the box and making it a one-person job should you need to.
The Maxi-Cosi Lora
The Iora is a bassinet for the bed that helps parents feel connected to their child while they sleep. It can be adjusted up and down and moved to three different slide positions, to fit beside the bed of the parent or in the corner so the baby is always within reach. The mesh siding lets air flow through, and allows you to quickly see your baby. You can also store extra pajamas or supplies in the large basket underneath.
The Iora is a smaller bedside crib and travel cot 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 space, and our mom testers thought it was the perfect size for a best bedside cot crib. They also liked the large storage basket, perfect for storing spare bedding or nappies.
This is a great option for parents who wish to sleep in a co-sleeping bed but don't want to share their bed. Also, if one of the partners has mobility issues such as arthritis or back pain. Our mom testers are thrilled with the ease with which they can access their child in the Iora, and it also has an option to tilt the bed upwards to aid in reducing gas.
Our mothers are also thrilled that it meets NICE guidelines which state that you should place the baby in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets, pillows, etc). They also say that the mattress is comfortable and firm for babies and is easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as some of the smaller cribs on our list, so if prefer something lighter and easier for you to move around, consider a different alternative.
