If you want to keep baby as close as you can at night, but not have to leave the bed, a crib for bed is the ideal solution. The breathable fabric allows you to see your baby clearly and they are simple to lower when you require an early feeding.
Some double as a moses basket, too.
What is a bedside crib with changing table cot?
A bedside sleeper cot crib, also known as a bassinet or co-sleeper is a baby cot attached to your adult bed. This allows your baby to sleep next to you in safety. This is a safe form of co-sleeping and doesn't increase the risk of SIDS, like bedsharing. It also helps you bond with your newborn baby.
They usually have a side that is able to be adjusted so that you can easily reach your baby at night to feed and comforting. This is especially useful for mothers who are recovering from an op. Many are portable or foldable so you can use them for trips and as an interim solution for infants who aren't ready to move to a larger crib.
Choose a crib that has a mattress that is breathable, as well as an appropriate cover to shield your baby from stains. You might also want to purchase baby-safe items such as the blanket or teether.
If you're looking for a longer-term option, some cribs come with conversion kits that let you convert them into a cot or a toddler bed at the time of need. This is a great way to extend their lifespan and making the transition more seamless. Some even have a removable top section that transforms into a bassinet, and some can be used as the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is a great option for families who intend to travel frequently or change between bedrooms in the evening. You should also consider the size of your room to ensure that you can squeeze the crib in comfortably. 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
The Roomie Glide, a bedside crib made by the English brand Joie, is a great addition to their line of high-quality products for infants. Designed to help parents bond with their children while sleeping side by side without sharing a bed this co-sleeper comes with features that make parent-baby bonding enjoyable, safe and easy.
One of the main features is a soft rocking motion that can be activated at the push of the button. This can soothe baby into sleep with a gentle beat that doesn't disrupt their natural sleeping routine. This is ideal for older babies or toddlers who have difficulty settling down. It can also help with digestive issues such as colic and reflux.
The crib can be locked into its place after the rocking has been finished to stop it from moving and can be secured to the bed's side by clips and straps. This makes it stable and secure allowing you to enjoy a great night's sleep without worrying about your baby rolling off into the middle of the room. The rounded cocoon shape comes with softly padded sides and two mesh windows on both sides to allow for plenty of airflow while keeping your baby secure.
The mattress is soft and firm and includes a washable cover. The crib is simple to set up and disassemble thanks to an aluminum frame that is lightweight and makes it extremely portable. The four rubber-covered wheels lockable ensure that the crib does not leave marks on your flooring and is easy to move. It is easy to clean with cloths that wipe clean and is easy to put in a bag for travel, making it perfect for extended stays away from home.
The TuttiBambini CoZee air
It is designed to be a secure next-to-me crib from birth to six months old, this top model features rocking bars and castors that allow for ease of movement. The premium airflow mattresses offer a comfortable sleeping surface, while ventilation panels help keep your baby cool. There are six different height settings, including an incline option that can help with reflux and congestion.
Unlike some bedside cribs which can be a challenge to clean due to their constant stream of snot and dribble, the Tutti Bambini CoZeeAir comes with a wipe-clean liner and fabric that can be removed to wash in the machine. It also has a top bar which can be easily lowered to accommodate feedings at night without having to mess with zips.
Anna discovered that the CoZee could be a safe, comfortable sleeping space for her infant. She loved that it didn't sway like other models, which meant it wasn't waking her at night while she was trying to comfort her baby during feedings. She also liked that the sides of the chair lowered so she didn't have to reach over her partner to carry the child out for nighttime feedings.
The CoZee comes in oak or charcoal and is a fashionable accessory to any bedroom. It's more an elegant piece of furniture than some of the other cribs that we've tested, and can appear quite utilitarian. It's also quite light at just 11kg, and comes with a carrying case so you can carry it on vacation or if you're moving home. It's all you need to buy is a waterproof sheet and a safety strap for co-sleeping. The instructions and images are easy to follow when you first open the box.
The Maxi-Cosi lora
The Iora is a bassinet that can be placed at the bedside that allows parents to feel more connected to their infant as they sleep. It can be adjusted upwards and downwards and shifted through three different slide positions to fit beside the parent's bed or in the corner so the baby is always at hand. The mesh siding lets air flow through, and allows you to see your baby bedside crib easily. You can also keep any extra pajamas or items in the large basket beneath.
In contrast to other bedside cribs The Iora folds flat and comes with a bag for travel which allows it to be taken anywhere. It was easy to move from room to space, and our mom testers thought it was the perfect size for a bedside crib. They also appreciated the large storage basket which is ideal for stowing nappies or other bedding items.
This is an excellent choice for parents who want to co-sleep, but don't wish to share their beds, or whose partners might be suffering from mobility issues, such as back problems or arthritis. Our mom testers loved that they could easily access their child in the Iora and that it came with an option to have a reflux incline which helped to reduce gas.
Our moms appreciate the fact that it complies with NICE guidelines which state that you should place the infant in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys pillows, etc.). The mattress is also firm and comfortable for babies and sheets are readily available. It isn't as light as other smaller bedside cot newborn cribs, though, so if you want something lighter and more portable, think about one of the other options in our list.
