What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib (also known as bassinet or co-sleeper) is a baby crib that is attached to your adult bed, allowing your infant to sleep in a safe environment with you. This is a safe form of co-sleeping that doesn't increase the risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It can also help you bond with the newborn baby.

These cots often come with a side that can be lowered, so you can easily reach your baby at night to feed and comforting. This is especially useful for mums recovering from the c-section. Some are also portable or foldable, so you can take them on your travels and use them as a temporary sleeping solution for infants who aren't yet ready to move into a cot that is full size.

Choose a crib that has a mattress that is breathable, as well as a protective cover that will keep your baby safe from staining. You may also want to purchase baby-safe items such as an infant blanket or a teether.

If you're seeking a long-term solution, some cribs come with conversion kits that let you transform them into a toddler bed or a cot when the time is appropriate. This is a great way to extend their life span and making the transition smoother. Some even have a removable top section that converts into an infant bed, and some can be used on the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is an excellent choice for families who plan to travel frequently or change between bedrooms in the evening. It is also important to consider the size of your room to ensure you can fit the crib comfortably. A lot of cribs have risers that can be used to create an incline to accommodate babies with reflux.

This gentle rhythm can soothe your baby into sleep without disturbing their natural sleeping patterns. This is great for toddlers and older infants who are struggling to settle and can also help with digestive issues like colic and reflux.

The crib can also be fixed to the side of the bed by a strap and clip attachment. This makes the crib solid and secure which allows you to rest peacefully, without having to worry that your baby will roll off into the middle.

Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfortable sleep space for her newborn. It was a pleasure to not move like other models, which meant she wasn't disturbed at night while trying to comfort her child during feedings. She also enjoyed that the side lowered down so that she didn't have to reach over her partner to lift the baby to feed her at night.

The CoZee is available in oak or charcoal and is a fashionable option for any bedroom. It's more a designer piece than some of the other cribs that we've tried, which appear quite utilitarian. It is also relatively light at 11kg, and comes with a carrying case that allows you to take it on holiday or even when you move house. You'll need an extra waterproof sheet and safety strap for co-sleeping. There are step-by-step directions and photos to assist you in putting it together as you open the box and making it a one-person job when needed.

The Maxi-Cosi lora

The Iora is an infant bassinet designed to make parents feel closer to their infant while they sleep. It can be adjusted both up and down and shifted through three different positions for sliding to fit beside the parent's bed or in the corner so that the baby is always at hand. The mesh siding allows air to flow through and allows you to quickly see your baby. And you can store extra pajamas and supplies in the large storage basket under.

The Iora is a smaller bedside cot that can fold flat. It also comes with a travel case to allow it to be carried anywhere. Our mum testers were able to move it from room to room and felt that it was a suitable size for a small bedside cot that was not too big or small. The large storage basket is great for storing extra bedding or nappies.

This is an excellent choice for parents who want to co-sleep but do not want to share their own beds, or whose partners might have mobility issues, like back problems or arthritis. Our mum testers were thrilled to be able to easily access their child in the Iora and that it had an optional reflux incline that helped to reduce gas.

Our mums also love the fact that the mattress is in line with NICE guidelines which state that you should place the baby in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no toys, blankets pillows, etc.). The mattress is also sturdy and comfortable for the baby, and sheets are easy to find. It's not as light as other smaller cribs on our list, so if you prefer something lighter and easier to move, you can choose another option.
