What is a bedside cot?

A bedside crib (also known as a bassinet or co-sleeper) is a small infant cot that attaches 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 your risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It also helps you bond with your newborn baby.

They usually have a side that is able to be raised, so you can easily reach your newborn during the night for feeding and comforting. This is particularly useful for mothers recovering from a csection. Many of them are portable or foldable which means you can use them to travel or as a temporary solution for newborns who aren't ready to be able to transition into a full-sized crib.

Find a crib that has a breathable mattress, and a protective cover that will protect your baby from staining. You should also purchase baby-safe accessories such as a blanket and a soft toy.

If you're looking for a long-term alternative, some cribs are equipped with conversion kits that allow you to transform them into a cot for bedside or a toddler bed at the time of need. This is great for extending their lifespan and making the transition easier. Some have a removable section at the top that can be turned into the bassinet. Other models can be used with an adult bed that is standard or a high-rise bed. This is a good choice for families that are planning on frequent travel or switching between bedrooms at night. Consider the size of your bedroom to ensure that you fit comfortably in the crib. Many cribs have an incline which can be used to create an incline to accommodate babies with reflux.

Anna found that the CoZee was a safe and comfy place to sleep for her baby. She was pleased the fact that it didn't roll like some other models, so it wasn't waking her at night when she was trying to soothe her baby for feeds. She also loved that the sides of the chair could be lowered so that she didn't have to reach over her partner to lift the child out to feed them at night.

The CoZee comes in charcoal or oak and is a fashionable accessory to any bedroom. It looks more designer than other cribs we've tried, which are often quite utilitarian.

The Maxi-Cosi lora

The Iora is a bedside bassinet that helps parents feel closer to their infant as they sleep. It can be adjusted up and down and moves through three slide positions to fit next to the bed of the parent, or in the corner of the room, so that baby is always close at hand. The mesh siding lets air flow through and allows you to see your baby quickly. You can also keep any extra pajamas or items in the large basket beneath.

The Iora is a smaller bedside travel cot cot that folds flat. It also comes with a travel case which allows it to be taken anywhere. Our mum testers were able to move it from room to room and felt that it was a good size for a bedside baby bed cot, and not too big or too small. The large storage basket is ideal to store bedding and nappies.

This is a great option for parents who wish to co-sleep but don't want to share their bed. Or if one of the parents has mobility issues such as arthritis or back pain. Our mom testers are thrilled with the fact that they can easily access their child in the Iora and it also has an optional reflux incline to help alleviate gas.

Our mums also love the fact that it meets NICE guidelines, which are to place the infant 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 cribs that are smaller on our list, so if prefer something lighter and easier to move, you can choose another option.
