Five Killer Quora Answers On Small Bedside Cot

A Small Bedside Cot That Attaches to Your Adult Bed

If you want to keep your baby as close as possible to him at night, but not have to leave bed, a bedside crib is the best option. The breathable fabric lets you easily see baby and they're super easy to lower for those sleepy 3am feedings.

What is a bedside crib?

A bedside crib (also known as a co-sleeper or bassinet) is a small infant crib that is attached to your adult bed, allowing your infant to sleep safely next to you. It is a safe method of co-sleeping that doesn't increase the risk of SIDS, like bedsharing. It also helps you bond with your newborn baby.

These cots often have a side that can be adjusted so that you can easily reach your baby throughout the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly beneficial for mothers who are recovering from an op. Some are also foldable or portable, so you can bring them along on trips and use them as a temporary sleep solution for infants who aren't yet ready to move to a full-sized cot.

Find a crib that has a breathable mattress, and an extra-safe cover that will keep your baby safe from staining. You might also want to buy baby-safe accessories such as a blanket or teether.

If you're looking for a long-term option, some cribs have conversion kits that let you convert them into a cot or a toddler bed when the time comes. This is great for extending their life span and making the transition more seamless. Some even have a detachable top section that converts into a bassinet, while others can be used as the regular or high-rise adult bed. This is a good choice for families who are planning on frequent travel or switching rooms during the night. Consider the dimensions of your room to make sure you can fit comfortably in the crib. Many cribs come with an incline that can be used to create an incline for babies who have reflux.
