What is a bedside crib?
A cheap bedside cot crib, also known as a bassinet or a co-sleeper, is a small crib for babies that is attached to your adult bed. This allows your newborn to sleep with you in peace. It's a method of co-sleeping in a safe manner that does not increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) like bedsharing and can help you bond with your newborn.
The cots come with an end that can be lowered to allow you to reach your baby easily at night to soothe and feed them. This is particularly useful for mothers recovering from a c section. Some are also portable or foldable, so you can take them on trips and use them as a temporary sleeping solution for infants who aren't quite ready to move to a larger cot.
