What is a bedside crib?
A wooden bedside cot crib (also called bassinet or co-sleeper) is a small baby crib that is attached to your adult bed, allowing your infant to sleep safely next to you. This is a form of co-sleeping in a safe manner that doesn't 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 have a side that can be adjusted so that you can easily reach your infant throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is especially useful for mums recovering from an op. Many of them are foldable or portable so you can use them to travel cot bedside crib or as an interim solution for infants who aren't ready to transition into a full-sized crib.
Find a crib that has a breathable mattress, and a protective cover that will protect your baby from stains. You should also pick up some baby-safe add-ons such as a blanket, a teether and a cuddly toys.
If you are looking for a more long-term solution Some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to convert them into a toddler bed or cot when the time is appropriate. This will prolong their life and make the transition smoother. Some models have a removable portion at the top that can be converted into the bassinet. Other models can be used with an adult bed that is standard or a high-rise model. This is a good choice for families that plan on frequently traveling or transferring between bedrooms throughout the night. Take into consideration the size 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 for babies with reflux.
The Joie Roomie Glide
Known for their high-quality baby products, English brand Joie has entered the world of bedside cribs with the Roomie Glide. Designed to allow parents to bond with their infants while they sleep side by side without sharing a bed. This co-sleeper is packed with features that help make bonding between parents easy, safe and enjoyable.
One of the most important features is a smooth, rocking motion that can be activated with the press of an button. This can soothe baby into sleep with a gentle beat that doesn't disrupt their normal sleeping routine. This is ideal for older babies and toddlers who struggle to settle. It can also help with digestion problems such as colic and reflux.
The crib can be locked into its place after the rocking has been completed to stop it from moving. It can also be secured on the side of your bed by clips and straps. This makes it very stable and secure allowing you to get a good night's rest without having to worry about your child sliding off into the middle of the room. The rounded cocoon shape has softly cushioned sides and double mesh windows on both sides to allow plenty of airflow while keeping your baby secure.
The mattress included is comfortable and firm. It comes with a washable cover. The aluminum frame is lightweight, making the crib extremely mobile and easy to put together. The four lockable rubber-covered wheels ensure that the crib does not leave marks on your flooring and is easy to move. It is easy to clean using cloths that wipe clean and is easy to put in a travel bag making it ideal for overnight stays away from home.

The deluxe airflow mattresses provide an ideal sleeping surface while the ventilation panels keep your baby cool. There are 6 different height settings, including an incline option that can help with congestion and reflux.

Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfy place to sleep for her baby. It was a pleasure to not move like other models, which meant she wasn't disturbed in the night trying to soothe her child during feedings. She also liked that the side was lowered so that she didn't have to reach out over her partner to lift the baby for feedings at night.
The CoZee is available in charcoal or oak and is a chic accessory to any bedroom. It's more an expensive piece of furniture than many of the other cribs we've tried, which appear rather utilitarian. It is also relatively lightweight at just 11kg and comes with a carrying case so you can bring it on holiday or when you are moving home. The only extras you require are a fitted waterproof sheet and a safety strap for co-sleeping. The instructions and images are simple to follow when you first open the box.
The Maxi-Cosi lora
The Iora is a bedside bassinet that helps parents feel connected to their child while they sleep. It adjusts upwards and downwards and slides through three positions to fit beside the bed of the parent or in the corner of the room to ensure that your baby is close to the parent's side. The mesh siding lets air circulate through, allowing you to quickly see your baby. And you can store more pajamas and other supplies in the large storage basket beneath.
Unlike some other smaller bedside crib options The Iora folds flat and comes with a bag for travel to allow it to be taken wherever. It was easy to move around from room to space, and our mum testers felt it was the perfect size for a bedside crib. The large storage basket is great to store extra bedding or nappies.
This is an excellent choice for parents who want to sleep in a co-sleeping arrangement but don't wish to share their beds or whose partners may be prone to mobility issues, such as arthritis or back issues. Our mom testers loved the ease with which they could access their child in the Iora and that it had an adjustable reflux incline that helped reduce gas.
Our mums are also thrilled that it meets NICE guidelines which state that you should place the baby in a crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys, pillows, etc). They also state that the mattress is comfortable and firm for baby and is easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as some of the smaller cribs on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier to move, you can choose another alternative.
