What is a bedside cot?
A bedside cot sale crib (also known as bassinet or co-sleeper) is a small infant crib that can be 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 does not increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) similar to bedsharing and can help you bond with your new arrival.
They have a side which can be lowered so that you can reach your baby easily at night to soothe and feed them. This is particularly beneficial for mums recovering from an op. Many of them are foldable or portable, so you can bring them along on trips and use them as a temporary sleep solution for infants who aren't quite ready to move to a full-sized cot.
When shopping for a bedside crib Look for a crib that has a breathable mattress and a 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 long-term option, some cribs have conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a cot or a toddler bed when the time comes. 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. Some can be used with a standard adult bed or a high-rise model. This is an excellent choice for families that plan to travel frequently or switch between bedrooms in the evening. 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.

Additionally, it comes with a top bar that is easily lowered for nighttime feeds without needing to search for zips in the dark.
Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfy sleep space for her newborn. It was a pleasure to not move like other models so she didn't wake up at night while trying to soothe her child for feedings. She also liked that the side was lowered so she didn't have to reach over her partner to pull the baby for night time feeds.
The CoZee comes in oak or charcoal and is a chic accessory to any bedroom. It's more stylish than the other cribs we've tested that are usually utilitarian.

The Maxi-Cosi lora
The Iora is a bedside crib vs cot bassinet that helps parents feel connected to their child while they sleep. It adjusts upwards and downwards and can be moved through three slide positions to fit next to the parent's bed, or in the corner of the room to ensure that your baby is close to the parent's side. The mesh siding lets air flow through, and allows you to see your baby easily. You can also put away additional pajamas or other items in the large storage basket beneath.
As opposed to other bedside cribs, the Iora can be folded flat and comes with a carry-on bag so that it can be taken anywhere. It was easy to move from room to room and our mom testers thought it was the perfect size for a wooden bedside cot crib. They also liked the large storage basket, that is ideal for storing spare bedding or nappies.
This is a great choice for parents who wish to co-sleep, but don't wish to share their bed. Also, if one of the partners has mobility issues like arthritis or back pain. Our mums who tested it loved the ease with which they could access their child while in the Iora and that it had an option to have a reflux incline which helped alleviate gas.
Our mothers are also thrilled 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 the baby and sheets are easy to find. It's not as light as some of the cribs that are smaller on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier to move around, consider a different alternative.
