A bedside crib or cot crib, also known as a bassinet, or co-sleeper, is a small baby cot that is attached to an adult bed. This allows your child to sleep with you in peace. This is a secure form of co-sleeping and doesn't increase the risk of SIDS as bedsharing does. It can also help you bond with your newborn baby.
The cots come with a side which can be adjusted to allow you to reach your baby easily at night to comfort and feed them. This is particularly beneficial for mothers recovering from the c-section. Many of them are foldable or portable so you can use them for trips and as an interim solution for babies who aren't ready to transition into a full-sized crib.
Choose a crib that has a breathable mattress, and a protective cover that will keep your baby safe from stains. It is also advisable to pick up some baby-safe add-ons such as a blanket, a teether and a soft toy.
If you're looking for a longer-term solution cribs are available with conversion kits that let you transform them into a toddler bed or cot when the time is appropriate. This can extend their lifespan and make the transition smoother. Some models have a removable portion at the top that can be turned into a bassinet. Some can be used with a standard adult bed or a high-rise bed. This is a great option for families that plan on frequently traveling or switching between bedrooms at night. Consider the dimensions of your bedroom to make sure you can fit in the crib comfortably. Many cribs have risers that can be added to create an incline to accommodate babies with reflux.

She also enjoyed that the side lowered down so that she didn't have to reach over her partner to lift the baby for night time feeds.

The Iora is a bassinet for the bed that helps parents feel closer to their child while 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 within arm's reach. The breathable mesh siding allows air to flow through, and allows you to glance at your little one. You can also keep extra pajamas or supplies in the large basket beneath.
Unlike some other smaller bedside crib options Iora is a standout among other bedside cribs. Iora can be folded flat and comes with a travel bag which allows it to be taken anywhere. Our mum testers found it easy to move from room to room and believed that it was a suitable size for a small bedside cot, and not too big or too small. They also liked the large storage basket, that is ideal for storing nappies or other bedding items.
This is a great choice for parents who wish to sleep in a co-sleeping bed, but don't wish to share their bed. Also, if one of the parents has mobility issues such as arthritis or back pain. Our mum testers love the convenience of being able to access their child in the Iora, and that it has an option to tilt the bed upwards to help alleviate gas.
Our mums also love the fact that the mattress is in line with NICE guidelines, which are to place the infant in the crib or Moses basket on its own (with no blankets, toys, pillows, etc). They also say that the mattress is comfortable and firm for the baby bedside crib and easy to find sheets for. It's not as light as other cribs that are smaller on our list, so if prefer something lighter and easier to move, choose another alternative.
