What is a bedside cot?
A bedside cot co sleeper crib, also known as a bassinet, or co-sleeper, is a small crib for babies that is attached to your adult bed. This allows your baby to sleep with you in peace. It's a method of safe co-sleeping that does not increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) similar to bedsharing and can help you build a bond with your new arrival.
The cots usually come with a side that can be lowered, so you can easily reach your newborn throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is especially useful for mums recovering from a c-section. Many of them are portable or foldable so you can use them to travel or as a temporary solution for newborns that aren't yet ready to transition to a larger crib.
When shopping for a crib that is bedside Choose a crib with a comfortable mattress and a protective cover to protect your newborn from stains. You may also want to buy baby-safe accessories such as the blanket or teether.
If you're looking for a more long-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a toddler bed or cot when the time is right. This will prolong their life and make the transition a lot easier. Some come with a removable section at the top that can be turned into a bassinet. Other models can be used with an adult bed that is standard or a high-rise bed. This is a great option for families who plan to travel frequently or change between bedrooms in the evening. Be aware of the dimensions of your room to make sure you can fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with risers that can be used to create an incline for babies with reflux.
