What is a bedside crib?
A bedside crib, also referred as a bassinet, or co-sleeper, is a small baby cot attached to your adult bed. This allows your baby to sleep with you in peace. This is a type of co-sleeping that is safe and doesn't increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing, and can help you build a bond with your new arrival.
These cots have an end that can be adjusted so that you can reach your baby easily at night to soothe and feed them. This is especially helpful for mothers who are recovering from a c-section. Many of them are portable or foldable making them suitable for trips and as an interim solution for babies who aren't ready to transition into a crib that is large enough.
Look for a crib with a breathable mattress, and a protective cover that will protect your baby from staining. You may also want to buy baby-safe accessories such as a blanket or teether.
If you're looking for a more long-term option, some cribs come with conversion kits that let you turn them into a cot or a toddler bed when the time comes. This is great for extending their lifespan and making the transition more seamless. Some have a removable top section that transforms into a bassinet, while others can be used as the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is an excellent choice for families who plan to frequently travel or switch between bedrooms in the evening. You should also consider the size of your room to ensure that you can squeeze the crib comfortably. A lot of cribs have an riser that can be used to create an inclined position for babies who suffer from reflux.

Anna discovered that the CoZee was a comfortable and safe sleeping space for her infant. She liked that it didn't move like other models so she wasn't woken up at night while trying to soothe her baby during feedings. She also appreciated that the sides of the chair was lowered so that she didn't have to reach over her partner to carry the child out to feed them at night.
The CoZee is available in charcoal or oak and is a chic addition to any bedroom. It looks more like a designer piece than some of the other cribs that we've tried, which appear rather utilitarian.

Our mothers 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 toys, blankets pillows, etc.). The mattress is also a good firm and comfortable for the baby, and sheets are easily available. It's not as light as other smaller bedside crib with changing table cribs, though, so if you want something lighter and easier to move around, consider one of the alternatives on our list.
