What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib, also referred to as a bassinet, or co-sleeper, is a small crib for babies that is attached to your adult bed. This allows your child to sleep with you in peace. This is a secure form of co-sleeping, which doesn't increase your risk of SIDS like bedsharing. It also helps you bond with the new baby.

These cots often have a side that can be lowered, so you can easily reach your infant during the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly useful for mothers recovering from a c section. Many of them are foldable or portable, so you can take them on trips and use them as a temporary sleeping option for babies who aren't yet ready to move to a larger cot.

If you're looking for a bedside crib and travel cot crib, look for a model with a comfortable mattress and a cover to shield your infant from stains. You may also want to purchase some baby-safe accessories like an infant blanket or a teether.

If you're looking for a long-term option, some cribs come with conversion kits that let you convert them into a cot or a toddler bed when the time comes. This will extend their life and make the transition easier. Some have a removable top section that transforms into an infant bed, and some can be used on either an ordinary or high-rise adult bed. This is a good choice for families who are planning on frequent travel or switching rooms throughout the night. You should also consider the size of your room to ensure that you can squeeze the crib comfortably. Many cribs come with an adjustable riser that can be used to create an inclined position for infants who suffer from reflux.

The co-sleeper was created to help parents connect and sleep side-by-side with their babies, without sharing the same bed. It's loaded with features that help make bonding between parent and baby secure, easy and enjoyable.

This will help soothe your baby to sleep with a gentle beat that doesn't disturb their natural sleeping pattern. This is perfect for older babies or toddlers who are having trouble settling down. It can also assist with digestive issues like reflux and colic.

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 wasn't disturbed in the night trying to soothe her child during feedings. She also enjoyed that the side lowered down so she didn't need to reach out over her partner to lift the baby to feed her at night.

The CoZee is available in oak and charcoal and is a chic addition to the bedroom. It's more of a designer piece than some of the other cribs that we've tested, which can look quite utilitarian in comparison. It's also fairly light at just 11kg, and comes with a carrying case which allows you to take it on vacation or if moving home.

The Maxi-Cosi Lora

The Iora is a bassinet designed for infants designed to make parents feel connected with their baby while they sleep. It adjusts up and down and moves through three slide positions to be placed next to the bed of the parent or in the corner of the room, to ensure that your baby is close at hand. The mesh siding is breathable, allowing air to circulate through and allows you to glance at your little one. And you can store more pajamas and other supplies in the large storage basket underneath.

The Iora is a smaller bedside crib that can fold flat. It also comes with a travel case to allow it to be carried anywhere. It was easy to move around from room to space, and our mum testers felt it was the perfect size for a bedside cots crib. They also liked the large storage basket which is ideal for stowing nappies or bedding.

This is a great choice for parents who want to co-sleep but don't want to share their bed. Also, if one of the partners has mobility issues like arthritis or back pain. Our mum testers love the convenience of being able to access their baby in the Iora, and that it comes with an optional reflux incline to help with gas.

Our mothers love that it follows NICE guidelines. They recommend placing the baby in the Moses basket or crib on its own without toys, blankets and pillows. The mattress is also firm and comfortable for the baby and sheets are readily available. It's not as light as some of the smaller cribs on our list, so if prefer something lighter and easier to move, choose another option.
